eBay rogues

[PGowdy]

Have you opened a case with ebay and requested a full refund??

 

[Lee77]

Yes. eBay were ok about it. They just wanted a letter from someone recognised which is why I sent it to Steve. Funnily enough, if it was legit, I wouldn't get a penny. They said as its only the packaging that's damaged(bubble) it doesn't mean the item is! I don't know how they worked that one out :roll:

I've blocked him too.
That's shocking about ebay saying it isn't considered damaged if it's only the packaging. So if something is described as sealed and it arrives not sealed you can't claim. This could open the floodgates for people selling dodgy reseals.
People should bare this fact in mind when claiming and in future, leave the packaging out of it. Just say "it's damaged".
Scary that items (10s of thousands on ebay) that are sold and priced solely on their packaging and it's quality and structural integrity can be completely discounted by ebay. Absolute cunts.

Blocked! Thanks Lee

Can you block sellers on Ebay?

I didnt know that, please tell me its true :?:

 

[PGowdy]

You can block people from bidding on your items. The only way you stop sellers selling to you is by not buying from them.

Go to the help section on ebay and type "block member" and it'll instruct you how to do it. It's very simple.

 

[Grant_C]

Ah, cheers mate.

It's a shame you can't block sellers from your search. I see the same recycled bullshit from some sellers all the time. Jediretrocards springs to mind.

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah that is annoying. You can remove certain things from your search by putting a word you want removed from your results with a "-" before it. So your search would be, say- "star wars -potf -anniversary -sith". The all sales with the 3 words with the "-" before them will now not appear. I used to save a search with about 20 of these removed words from them. It doesn't remove all the **** but it helps.

It's a shame you can't block sellers from your search.

Try this: click on Advanced search, scroll down to Sellers, select Only Show Items From, choose Exclude, then type in names of sellers that are selling the garbage you want to avoid. Hopefully that helps, sorry if you meant something else.

Watcha guys

Avoid the ebay seller:

Bought a modern POTF Boba Fett (THX insert) off him last week (£3.50 - bit of a bargain) and it arrived today like this:

He wrapped it in bubble wrap, then wrapped two pieces of cardboard around it, then wrapped it in brown paper. Someone left him positive feedback about a week ago but stated that his packaging was poor Why would you then leave positive feedback??!

I've asked him that since he doesn't offer returns, does he do refunds :lol: :lol: :lol:
Still going to neg the ****er whatever he says

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Thats a piss poor job! And to leave postive feedback for packing packing? :roll:

 

[tundra9]

Same thing happened to me with Hunter Toys, never had this happened to me before that purchase, and after reading the
description I couldn't see how I could neg him for the packaging, so I gave him a positive, but wrote about the poor packaging.

 

[silver grin]

He's just replied saying I can have a refund if I don't leave him negative feedback! Oh, the choices!

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah i was just about to say Nick (something i've said several times) it doesn't matter if an ebayer says they don't do returns/refunds etc. It's not up to them! Paypal will refund you if you are messed around. If you're really miffed you can tae that route and still leave him negative feedback. (it's the morally correct thing to do :lol: ) But since he's offered a refund it's probably easier just to accept. Having said this, this would only be acceptable to me if he's offering refund on postage both ways.

Cheers Pete. He's offered me a refund and agreed to pay for the return postage. Pretty fair I think, but can't believe how bad his packaging was

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Glad to hear it you got it sorted mate

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah it's piss poor Nick. But he's lost out in the end. You can wait for another one to come along. He now has a damaged item and has had to fork out for return postage.

 

[weasel]

**** him (not literally), send it back, get your refund, then neg him anyway!
If he thought that packing was suitable he deserves it, if he was so dumb he didn't realise it needed better packing, he shouldn't be allowed to use scissors without mummy or daddy helping him. Either way he deserves a neg!
