UPDATE 7/16/08

I originally planned to drop this site after a year or so, but the emails and complaints just keep coming. The latest complaint is Scott emailing 5X and calling the home of a high bidder all in one hour after the auction closed!

It is GOOD NEWS that eBay stopped letting sellers post feedback - at least in this case. At least Scott cannot blast us poor suckers anymore. I see he is averaging one negative feedback per week over the past 6 months. Who knows how many have been removed by eBay for being "innapropriate". They removed mine for saying "I contested at Paypal and the refunded my money" even though it was factual.

UPDATE 11-25-07:

The site has been up for a year and I continue to recieve emails from people that recieve bad products and cannot reach FL Treasures or Scottco. Many have thanked me for this site. I see FL Treasures currently has a 97.6% positive rating - very poor on ebay. Most experienced buyers would never buy form this seller. 90 negative feedback and 59 neutral feedbacks over the past 12 months. There are also many negatives that have been removed. Angry buyers post feedback that contains info not allowed by eBay and eBay removes it. Once removed, you cannot post again. Be careful about what you post. They removed my negative feedback because I mentioned that I won my Paypal case. Go figure.

I recently filed and won a Paypal claim against FLTreasures and Scottco. The "company" owner is Scott Heimstadt. After a bit of research I found that that there are many people that have had similar negative experiences with this company and Scott Heimstadt. The purpose of this site is to educate the public so they can make intelligent choices while buying on eBay.

Scottco currently has 2.5% negative feedback and who knows how many mutual withdrawalls he has had? How many posted neutral to avoid a negative rating in their own personal feedback?

Please review the site and be an informed buyer.

Update 11/9/07

I continute to get lots of questions about fltreasures. People tell me Scottco and FLTreasures have taken advantage of them one way or another. Ebay still has not taken any serious action. Of course, minor disciplinary action is not made public.

I have noticed that Scotco gets many negative feedback that are removed for one reason or another. My negative ebay feedback was removed because it had a URL to fltreasures-scottco.com. Others have broken the ebay rules for feedback in one way or another and Scottco complains and the feedback are removed! If all those removed ebay feedback entries were still showing, FLTreasures would have a much lower feedback rating.
