Spoiler

please use this thread as a RESOURCE to ask your fellow members about problems you've had with a reseller or questions about e-bay.

do NOT use this thread to attack or refute other members. if you an e-bay dispute with a member here, perhaps it's best to approach a trading mod before posting? we don't police e-bay, but maybe we can give you a tip or two.

if members ignore these suggestions, then the thread might be locked for a couple of weeks.

thank you.

hey folks,

as a reminder what myself (and other mods) have continued to mention via private message, e-mail and other areas. we do NOT police other trading marketplaces like ebay, youtube, amazon and the rest.

there is ONLY a certain amount of information at our disposal and we do not have the resources in these other locations as we do on this forum - things that we can look at and evaluate.

having said that, there are trading rules on this forum that have been instituted for your own protection for trading transactions that happen HERE.

this includes the pending / active sales threads, the requirement of feedback posted for any new traders, our support ticketing system, the active investigations held by trading moderators and many other things we do not discuss openly.

we have long held that problems occurring on these other forums and marketplaces should be taken the appropriate authorities on THOSE websites.

many of you are established traders here on this forum and you should know all about the guidelines that are stickied in this section - including having new traders send first, getting tracking from the other party and proof of shipment, and what other precautions can be taken to protect your trading safety.

trading via ebay and their messaging system is against their stated policy and should not occur - and there are reasons why they have created that policy. you don't have protection of paypal or their listing system as a buyer or seller.

having said that, if there is trouble with an ebay seller or buyer, you should go to their website and report it there. if you are not aware of this process, follow the below link for more information.

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/buy/report-trading.html

so folks can feel free to chat about a seller or buyer that they are having problems with, but I can tell you right now - there will not be a "witch hunt" by moderators or staff based on one person's account of the problems or trouble they are having - and we limit the action taken for or against members here to transactions that occurred on this forum.

as stated in the thread title of our bad traders list - that list is for FORUM MEMBERS ONLY.

thank you.

[Evil]

lololol

someone told him that you will find him wherever he is and you will appear in his dreams...so he decided to scam someone else

 

[Bigman]

Think he did that and got the money back but to me it is simply not worth the effort.

It was me! I did get my money back but as you say the effort is not worth me buying off ebay. Another member also by the same person.

Can I mention this seller on here, so you all know to avoid!

29 steelbooks to sell a $200 each => $5800

that's like $5000 of profit, not bad

 

[sunnyx]

This ebay seller steelbooks-direct based in the uk is known to sell steels higher than the normal asking price.

steelbooks-direct ebay

He currently has a load of Thors UK and Captain Amercia UK at £120

However, what members don't know is that he shill bids on other seller's steels that he does own to inflate and raise the prices, I believe in order to sell his ones.

Two that I now know of are:

Captain America UK, maximum bid is £90.50

Captain America Ebay

Thor UK currently the highest bidder

Thor Ebay


Well it may be possible to say that he is bidding to win the item? But I don' think so, very obvious what he's doing.

 

[thegreat]

Ahh yes the feedback number gives it away - good detective work

 

[sunnyx]

I won't be surprised if it was him that was shill bidding on all those Terminator 4 UK's to a £100 to boost his prices up

He is now selling them on Playtrade and ebay for silly prices...

I can confirm he bought the Thors and and some other steelbooks as bulk purchase from a member here to sell on ebay

Guys how long do you have to wait before reporting a non paying buyer for an item please?

 

[Evil]

Guys how long do you have to wait before reporting a non paying buyer for an item please?

i often have buyers who pay long time after the auction ended...

if the buyer did not send a message about why it takes so long i would recommend to wait about 1 week

 

[o0 Deuce 0o]

Guys how long do you have to wait before reporting a non paying buyer for an item please?

its 2 days now,used to be 4

 

[Steakman]

Ok thanks, it was well over a week ago now. I will report now then, many thanks

 

[o0 Deuce 0o]

if someone dont pay me inside 24 hours then i report with no exceptions coz its just plain rude, if they msg me and tell me there going to pay in a few days time thats all good but i cannot stand people who just dont msg or reply to my msgs lol.

If its an auction I usually wait about a week before I report it to ebay and keep resending the invoice email every 2 days in the meantime. If it is a BIN, I usually wait 4 days - I mean, if you "buy" something, you might as well pay straight away, right?
