Time to call it a day on ebay??

[chazb73]

I'm really pissed off with ebay sellers

Some of you will know of my recent issues but it hasn't ended there and I am now considering ending ties with it all.

Won this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251617585176?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I was well chuffed. I contacted he seller prior asking would they consider posting the item. Sure I was told. Gong to the PO tomorrow to get it weighed and give you a price I was told - never got back to me :evil: Negged - he has -1 now :lol:

Then this total knob - Are the weapons original I asked - Yes 100% I was told. Arrived crap Repro's :evil: Worse than that was the abuse I received when I opened a case (opened a case straight away I was so peed off)

Oh my god r u that sad and lonely that u would have time to take out a case on me???? I take that as a yes!
I will be sending u a refund but not yet! I've got till the. 30th so that's when u will get it!
I will be sending out your details to my other ebay sellers just to let them know what u r like, so I just hope u don't screw anyone else over!
It's been a blast!

Can't find the other offensive one - will look forward to negging him - twat.

Got a Princess Leia - repro cape - sent it back waiting on refund still - will have to escalate that one probably

And finally got myself a smashing ESB 21 back Death Star Commander - hasn't arrived - another twat ? probably.

Sorry for going on guys but is it time for me to quit ebay ??? I don't need the extra stress

Don't let the ########s grind you down mate! unfortunately there are tossers in the world! and that numpty who has emailed you is the sad ass for sure! what a total Pratt

 

[x-pack]

Jesus! That message is harsh. I would get the refund and neg him anyway just for that.

 

[SublevelStudios]

**** mate, you've hit a bad run there.

There are some utter ****balls out there, total and utter nutlickers. But, I'd say stick with ebay, the potential to miss out on stuff will end up being more stressful than having to deal with this sort of stuff in the long run - at least that's how I'd feel.

I've had some bad experiences too, but as a buyer, you're really well covered. Ebay has always come out in my favour when I've had issues with items.

Stick with it bud.

Bad luck there mate, surprised you didn't notice that Endor blaster was a fake fro the pics though :roll:

Phone ebay and let them read the messages, odds are in your favour that they refund you straight away.

 

[poncho]

ive learned my lesson and never buy anything from a seller who has hardly any feedback!

 

[PGowdy]

This guy's obviously an arse-hole. Classic keyboard warrior tho; Clearly doesn't really understand ebay. Has only made 1 sale and claims to have some sought of "ebay community" in his corner. Yeah, alright. :roll:
He's just an ill- mannered, dishonest, ignorant **** and you really needn't pay any mind.
Leave the bastard a neg and report him to ebay. They take messages like that pretty seriously.
Also, keep an eye on his account. It's incredibly unlikely he has the intelligence to block you so If he lists anything again, buy it. If he pulls the same ****… you know what to do.

Most sellers on ebay are good honest folk. Sadly, in my experience it tends to be people who sell vintage toys that basically seem to be the biggest pricks out there. Really not sure why it is but there really does seem to be a scary amount.

The second seller 'gaztom80' is clearly a scammer - if you have a look back through his previous sales there are so many red flags - lot of repro weapons being sold yet seller always referring to the photos or blaming previous purchases. He knows exactly what he is doing and is the reason why people end up with so much repro crap in their collection

Examples -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Star-Wars-Last-17-Complete-Figures-/201136852161

All head gear and bow bags original but not sure on the bows?
Please look at photos and make your own mind up.

Of course the weapons are repro and the seller clearly knows this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Star-Wars-Figures-Complete-/201133341130

I'm not going to go through each and every 1 because I do have a life )
But if u do want me to send any pics of them I will be happy to do so.
When I bought all these figures I was told that weapons were original, but I only know what the buyers told me

Just on the first line it is clear that the carbonite block is the newer version and the R2 pop up has a repro sabre

I find in my experience on Ebay that the most difficult part of landing any "bargain" or items at a good price on ebay is not actually winning the auction itself its whether the seller themself is happy with the sale price and is willing to ship the item. Too often recently they havent.

I dont get it really. If you know how much you want for an item list it at that price! :roll: :x

Because it is extremely infruitating as I am sure Andy will testify when you win something fair and squae and the seller doesnt even post it! :twisted:

 

[chazb73]

All good point guys

Guess I was complacent on one or two items recently and didn't do my homework... I must stop taking folks word fr things - I'm too trusting :roll:

I need to detach myself from the prick comments also...

 

[Michael Sith]

Just have a stroll through your feedback mate, that tells you what bona fide sellers and buyers think of you :wink:

Ignore the idiotic comments doled out by brainless numb nuts on ebay that think they can get away with scamming....they can't don't even give their comments one seconds thought, none of us do

Your a top bloke mate we will all attest to that

 

[Stuart Skinner]

I think a few of us should all buy one item off him, then all put in a case for false items, then everyone return item recorded delivery but without the item in the return package, what is he going to do? Say to eBay that five people that live around the country no where near each other have all done the same thing to him, he'd be ****ed and then we can all leave him negative feedback, perhaps teach him a lesson.

I'm fed up with these complete arse wipes continually ripping us off, these people and others like that Darren Orme, we all complain about these things but really do think it's time to start ****ing them up back, I'm game for this if anyone else is just to get one over on one of these little pricks.

Also want to find a way to get to that Darren Orme as he makes me grind my teeth every time I think of the little ****er.

Evil genius

Cheeky ****er with that carbonite block! Can also see that the A Wing pilot weapon is a repro, I'd assume that most of those weps are cheap repro crap!
