Jacob Hutkins, of TicketProviderUSA.com, is running a scam through eBay on the account "stubsnow" where he sells tickets that he does not own, and then simply doesn't provide them if he cannot find them cheaper. He words his auctions as if he has contacts with boosters and donors, but this is all a big fancy way of him saying he is waiting for the ticket prices to tank and hopes you overpay.
If the event takes place between 1-90 days and he can't get something similar to what he sold, he refunds and makes up some story. If it takes place 90+ days out you are on your own and can't even leave feedback. Most of what he sells are events that are very generic like music festivals where you can get general admission seating from anyone at a later point in time, or Masters golf tickets where he can literally sell multiple thousands of dollars in auctions without delivering for over a year - well beyond being able to do a chargeback.
In my particular case, I won two auctions from him, paid right away, and then promptly received a refund saying he had already sold the tickets. Later, he admitted that the price was too low but offered nothing. Appropriate feedback was left. He then went ballistic, harassing me in emails, finding out my phone number, threatening me, etc. A few days later he came back and said that he felt really bad about everything and apologized, and then promised to fulfill the auctions despite the low final auction price. Reluctantly I agreed and sent payment. He then did a complete 180 and proceeded to try and use my payment as leverage in getting me to remove his negative feedback. When that didn't work, he went to eBay and concocted a story that I was some competiting ticket broker trying to sabatoge his account and then held my money until I had to get eBay involved. Then once eBay requested that he send proof of shipment, he decided to commit mail fraud and send a trackable package with nothing in it!
Long story short, I never got any tickets and I wasted hours upon hours on the phone with eBay, Paypal, and my credit card company just trying to get my money back. He is a habitual liar. In the course of 2 auctions, he managed to not only fail to honor the auction as a seller, but he also tried to extort me for feedback and made harassing threats and prank phone calls. I should have probably expected this from some 20 something wannabe ticket broker who obviously doesn't have enough money to be a real ticket broker, but I honestly did not know someone like this actually existed.
Consider yourself warned, and if you see "StubsNow" selling tickets on eBay, stay away!
