Ebay-Powerseller with 26.000 ratings

Webauktion24 is insolvent!

16.02.2010 09:54 Uhr

It is over! The end of January 2010 the Ebay-Powerseller Webauktion24 GmbH with residence in the Rahlstedter Straße 92 in 22149 Hamburg had to register insolvency. At the time, the company had more than 26.000 ratings on Ebay. Currently, no more auctions and offers are listed on Ebay. But now, negative ratings are piling up. It is to be assumed that again – like in the case Topseconds – hundreds of customers will wait in vain for their goods resp. money. Especially as Webauktion24 GmbH also auctioned off higher valued watches.

In the past, Webauktion24 GmbH had already attracted negative attention several times. The ZDF-show WISO reported about the company in association with fakes and replicas. It remains to be seen, as to how far Manager Andrzej Steven Rathmann and his family will be judged by law.

Online fraud with brand name watches

More and more aggrieved Ebay customers in the Topseconds case

The Topseconds case goes beyond all dimensions. This is why the police and the public prosecutor´s office are now going new ways. On February 17^th, 2009, over 11.000 damaged customers were addressed by Topsconds via email. Senior persecutor Fred Apostel explains: „The customers all have an Internet connection that they use“ and "this is why we choose to go this way." In the mail, the damaged Ebay customers are referred to a homepage specifically installed for them. Technical processing is more convenient and it is easier to reach everybody, because there are simply so many customers, say the prosecutors.

The end for Luxuswelt24

Damage caused by Ebay-provider Webauktion24 is increasing

The account of Webauktion24 GmbH is still not blocked by Ebay, even if the number of negative ratings is exploding. At least, no new watches are being offered. According to our information however, there was much more damage caused than originally expected. More than 50 negative ratings in the last 4 weeks make us expect the worst. The insolvency of Webauktion24 GmbH may develop into one of the greatest for Ebay in the branch of watches.

Damage amounting to millions

No Ebay-buyer protection in the Topseconds case – Customers are left with the damages!

Buying is a thing of trust – especially in the Internet auction house Ebay. But time and again, fraudsters with attractive offers creep in and subsequently accept the transferred money from the customers, but do not deliver the goods. The newest case: Topseconds. Topseconds GmbH has been selling watches of trend brands as Powerseller under the name "topseconds" on Ebay for years. 43.000 ratings make a serious impression. But the beginning of December 2008, the Internet auction house suddenly blocked the account. As is common in such cases but with significant delay and much too late for those damaged.
