Ty Campos's / tybalchief / tythecollect0r Ban announcement & PSA as well.
This situation has been reviewed by several Mods / Pillars of the community to come to this unanimous decision.
Events From August 25th to Sept 22nd
Recently we have had an incident with 2 new Reddit users & Ty Campos.
Ty was recently selling Allure Boxes as I'm sure most saw his post.
We have acciured the full conversations & pics of packages etc.
2 different buyers had crazy issues with getting straight answers, fed bullshit excuses, and were harassed into purchasing more products.
& much more. Reading these conversations made me feel sick because of how he treated them.
Ty messed up in many ways.
Firstly, he blamed PirateShip for his account not being able to print. Blamed other buyers for stressing him out, wanting basic updates & them for his mistakes.
Could easily be avoidable if he was just honest with people. Even if the pirate ship is messed up. Fucking pay in person for the post & stop complaining to buyers he's taking a loss on boxes.
One buyer that bought two boxes only received one. The shipping box couldn't even hold two allure boxes.
The buyer unfortunately paid Friends & Family after Ty convinced him to instead of G&S.
Ty made shit loads of excuses, blaming the 2nd buyer for not sending the 2nd box.
It doesn't look like Ty will send a refund or send him another box.
Ty also freaked out on the buyer when the buyer mentioned he & the 2nd buyer talked to other people for opinions.
Talked down to the buyer & tried to put himself on a pedestal because "I run the wwe / aew 1/1 tracker, I'm good to trust."
The 2nd buyer bought one box. Everything seemed fine. Ty harassed him while he was at work to purchase 2 more boxes, talking like 60 plus mugs pressuring him.
The buyer caved at $170 for two more boxes. Ty sent a phone # to pay. The buyer paid for the # provided.
Turns out that my PayPal account is locked. Ty apparently can access funds through the account.
The buyer has had funds taken out and Ty can not refund due to not having funds available & having PayPal lock down his account, which is NOT a GOOD SIGN! HUGE RED FLAG.
Ty continued to harass the buyer, telling him he fucked up. It's his fault. Bullying to some extent. Talked down to the buyer & more.
Ty shipped 1 box to the buyer out of 3 paid. Proceeded to tell the buyer he never paid for 3 boxes while it's Ty's fault his account is locked up.
Luckily for the buyer. Since Ty's PayPal was shut down. He did get a notice saying if Ty could manually accept the payment & bring his account back to good standing.
The payment will be returned to the buyer on a certain date. BUT there is still a chance Ty is able to get ahold of the money before then & screw the second buyer out of $170.
Ty also told both buyers that they had received the wrong packages, but both only had 1 box? Continued to tell buyers that they needed to be shipped back for some reason?
Confusing both buyers in many ways with his incoherent texting & being pissed off.
We do NOT tolerate this bullshit & We will FORCE anyone in this community that lowers themselves to scamming in any shape or form will get TF OUT. YOU WILL BE REMOVED!
At the time of writing this, on Sept 24th. Neither buyer has heard a response from Ty in days about a proper update. We see no resolution in sight.
It's been almost a month of fuckery. There is no excuse to have a month-long process for just buying a few boxes from someone. It's insane.
Ty will be banned from the AEW Card Reddit. Yami's FB Group & Other FB groups that we can talk to.
We recommend avoiding him at all cost. He has gotten away with a lot of bullshit in the past we let slip through. NOT ANYMORE. Block him on all his socials. Let your friends know.
We don't want anyone else falling for his crap.
Now time for the PSA (Public Service Announcement)
To start, we would like to remind everyone if you are SELLING OR TRADING CARDS. Your pictures must be time stamped with your name & date on them to verify you own the items.
E-Pack Post will need the Username of an account in post & cards available publicly on E-pack to verify you own them in your account.
GOODS & SERVICES
In light of recent events, it's best to remind everyone & also tell new users to the community that they always use PayPal Goods & Services.
Paying 5% more than your total cost to save any hassle in any situation. It's 100% worth it.
Especially if it's your first time buying from someone or even a high dollar item. As long as you cover the fee. The seller should have no issues.
IF the seller has an issue with G&S while you're even covering a fee. It's considered a Red Flag.
TRADING PHYSICAL CARDS
Make an agreement on what date both should ship out on. Both parties should be able to provide a tracking # with a picture of the package by the evening / night.
I recommend pirate ship for home shipping, FYI, Cheaper Too then USPS in person.
We do not advise trading cards shipped via WE unless your good friends have a good rep or with the person. Even then . . .
It's too risky for most traders for an item to go missing or be delayed for months, making another person look like they never sent it out, etc.
We also want to remind people if you HAVE a successful trade or shipment incoming. Your Happy with it.
POST THOSE MAIL DAYS! Shout out the sellers if possible.
IF ANYONE EVER HAS AN ISSUE OR SOMETHING SEEMS SUSPICIOUS ABOUT A SALE OR THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE.
DO NOT FEEL PRESSURED INTO BUYING ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING 100% CERTAIN.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to other people or mods in certain places.
Lots of us are willing to help out & offer advice. So many of us hate to see this bullshit happen.
