Carefully vet every seller, report to eBay, add them to your blocked buyers list and hope that stops them showing as sellers, then go through page after page of listings to find the first one that might actually be located in the UK (joke option) |

"Item location" is the explicit lie that they lie.
It is fairly obvious when you look at the expected delivery date, but they are still liars, and still wasting my precious, precious time. It could be better spent correcting Percys who are being wrong on the internet. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Stinging and negging them is recreation time.
What's particularly amusing is the amount of time and effort they'll put into bawwing about a negative. I've even had irate and barely comprehensible phone calls over negatives for tuppence-ha'penny items.
What exactly do they expect to happen after they refuse to resolve a "not received" other than with the standard "Dear friend, you wait long time more then fivestar us very important." ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

The eleventeen hundred top hits are seller JoyGoodFun49212, item "located" in Birmingham, but the seller address is Wun Hung Low province in China, with a 2 week delivery time.
Order stuffs.
Stuffs arrives two weeks later via ChinaPost.
File a "not received, refund"
"Dear Friend, delivery not in control please to wait two more days we very sure it arrive then give 5 star most important."
Wait 8 days, hit HALP! button, eBay refunds.
1-star and neg the scammer.
I'm not asking if I should do it, I do do it, fairly regularly now, and with no qualms at all after the first time I fell for it.
But I'm mildly intrigued as to whether I'm ahead of the morality curve on this one. Would you? |
I've had a fair few refunds and no request for goods back from cunts like this. Sometimes I remove the neg feedback, sometimes I tell them to go fuck themselves, depends what mood I'm in. ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

Secret tracking, eh?
I did actually get something from Chinascamz which was tracked to the extent that eBay automatically marked it as received when it eventually showed up. Spoilsports. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

To be fair, I actually did have a Chineesy grip-lock get knocked back by some Dutch X-Rayist. I have no idea what he thought he was looking at. Maybe some sort of genital mangling device. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Bit of a hijack but it came up earlier, currently eyeing up something from China land, just under £18 (the old limit ), worried about getting hit with an £8 fee to collect 30 odd pence or whatever it'll be.
What do? |

I can't remember the last time I had anything from China-China-China that wasn't marked as either a gift, or with the real tuppence-ha'penny value. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Nothing because they havn't arrived.
I asked why the tracking number didn't work and have just recieved:-
Quote: | The seller has responded to you and offered another solution to resolve this issue.
Seller's message:
' Hello, Thanks you for your email. I quite understand your feeling. As a seller, we do hope our customer can receive the item asap. I just contact the shipping company and they told me that may be it will delay about 7-10 days as the custom was strengthen the security check in these days terrorists. For this case, would you mind waiting for more few days? if you still can not receive the item on 5th Dec.just contact me, we can arrange resend or refund for you asap. Is that okay ? Best regards, Angel ' |
So it's Islamic states fault now. |
Still no levers. Seems the seller is a genuine penis. And bad at maths.

Is this the random eBay moan thread now... good
Ordered something advertised as for my phone, it didn't work (I assume they listed random models), so I returned it to the seller. Had to chase up my refund, they asked for proof of postage, told them I used the pre-paid label they sent me and they refunded me.
Anyhoo my question; the seller cancelled the order at the same time and now I can't leave feedback? I wasn't going to neg' them until the refund stuff, seems like they were hoping I'd forget about it. |
