Thanks to lejackal for bringing this thread to my attention, I know it's an old thread but just thought i'd share my experience with this seller.
Got this MOC this morning from this seller with a bad split in the bubble and when I messaged to complain I got told it was advertised as 'used' so it was as described. This obviously isn't the point as we all know, if it has a split in the bubble this is DAMAGE not 'used', the split should have been mentioned in the listing which it wasn't and wasn't even shown in the pictures.
I suggested a partial refund and he said "as per his description" he does not offer partial refunds but will refund £5 as a goodwill gesture ( what an insult ), in the end I settled on a £10 refund which to be honest I was kind of happy with because the split can't be seen when it's on display, and the transaction was done outside of ebay so I know I would have had hassles returning and getting my return costs back etc. Also earlier on I was told the item would be posted on 'x-date' and when I messaged on that date to request the tracking number he told me he was still in another country and his post is not due to go out for another 7 days ( thanks for telling me ).
I know I should have just maybe returned it via a paypal case but i'd been searching for one of these MOC's for a while and want to keep it, so it's a lesson learnt really and in future I may decide to upgrade the figure if I ever see a nicer one.
Anyway just thought i'd share about this seller as he's obviously acting very dishonestly, and he currently is selling 15!!! apparently genuine VCJ loose figures which I now believe to be fake after reading what other people have said in this thread.

If I knew he was deliberately trying to scam me and then threatening me with court, I'd call his bluff and go to court if thats the game wants to play. If you do its vital you have all the details of the other people he is scamming also with you, leave nothing to chance. Make sure everything you have is accurate and nothing can be contradicted in your argument. All emails and contact you've had with him have a record. You'll both then be hit with a set of questions designed to quickly establish who is scamming who. You'll very quickly then find out how big his balls is!

Hi he hasn't done anything to me he just seems like a complete **** by the sounds of things. Is this the same guy that was listing around 10 VC Jawas on eBay awhile back? If it's the same guy I've been in contact with him before. If it's him him came across dodgy to me at the time also. So I cut off contact from him. He never could give a straight answer to any questions I asked about the Jawas. Then he admitted to me once I pressed him that he only had 1 or 2 in his possession.
Are you in the UK? Have you tried ringing your local citizens advice? What did the courier service say about the matter? This is serious what this guys at if you also know of other people having the same problems from him.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I had seen something about this guy on google reviews and found the thread. He is clearly a chronic scammer goes under multiple names including Aubin Rabia, Aubin Ray, Pascal Engels.
I guess he has decided that perhaps it's easier to let somebody else do the work since scamming people online was not lucrative enough for him, so recently he approached Vectis auctions and offered them 20 boxes of sw to sell. After they did their research on him they appear to have quite rightly refused him their services and declined his collection.
Not one to give up easily he then approached them several months later under a fake names and offered them the items again, which this time they accepted. However upon phoning them and admitting his real name to them once more they realised it was the scammer again and decided to decline the collection once more. They told him to arrange collection of the items from them which he doesn't want to do resulting in him leaving them a bad review. So essentially he used the fake names hoping to get Vectis to sell his stolen/fake items so would not surprise me if he was approaching other auctioneers too.
