The Ebay switch

[Artboy99]

I replied to this thread earlier, and made comments about checking the feedback of the seller and noting that in the feedback are feedback posts about poor shipping, also that the seller typically doesn't sell comics.

 

Apparently my earlier reply got removed

 

Got removed? Why would it get removed?

 

Y'know, I think I remember seeing that comment.

 

Not sure what happened to be honest.

 

I just hope the buyer gets his money back.

That UPC symbol is awful. How could seller think he would fool you?

[ttfitz]

Wait...

You actually bid on a book from a seller with a feedback score of "91.7%"???

and...

You are surprised by what happened???

 

In defense of the OP, the current feedback score only takes into account feedback in the last year, and the seller only has 24 feedback ratings over that period, 2 negative. He's got a feedback score of 750, and a quick scan doesn't show but a few negatives over the course of his eBay selling.

 

A few more than I would like, certainly, but not as bad as the 91.7% would suggest.

I could tell at a glance from looking at the title "Tales to Astonish" , didn't even notice the UPC code.

 

I still love the possibility of good deals on Ebay. Maybe I took a chance on this one, but the Subby cover looked good, and Ebay's buyer protection has served me before. l expect to get all my money back.

 

Thanks for the empathy from my Forum buddies!

Well, I just received my full refund after the item was received by the seller. Ebay provided the shipping label, so I did not lose any money. Did not have to escalate to Ebay Buyer protection.

 

No explanation or apology from the seller. So, should I blast them with a negative feedback?

[iggy]

Absolutely. Bait & Switch (BS)!

[retrothecollector]

Yes you should leave him a neg. All day long. No time for any BS. He wasted your time and your effort. NEG

"Seller listed item as an original. Deliberately sent me a reprint after I won"

"Seller listed item as an original. Deliberately sent me a reprint after I won"

 

I like it.

 

Here is the feedback I posted.

 

 

Seller deliberately sent me a $2 reprint after I won. Waste of my time. AVOID!

[silverweb]

When I went to see my feedback post, I saw another negative just added

 

Very Bad Seller, Poor Communication, Sold item and DID NOT SHIP, FRAUD ALERT

[Aweandlorder]

BRAVO! Thanks for helping us stay clean of scammers

He is now at 85.2%.. probably wont be long before he's suspended..

If he has any sense of business he would be well advised to RUSH you a copy of the original as listed.. But something tells me he could care less

[Michelangelo]

This is a lie from the posting

 

Returns Policy:This Item is actual Images of item are shown above RETURNS are Accepted for this Listing 3 days after the buyer receives it, buyer pays return shipping

I dont like neg FB but since the seller made no attempt at expalining if he doesnt care why should you? Blast em

[Chip Cataldo]

Excellent. Hopefully more follow suit in a short period of time, resulting in The Great NARU casting his spell...

[slym2none]

ebay is a garbage can

 

Indeed. I'm thinking about discontinuing both selling and buying there completely.

 

Have a good alternative?

 

The boards are a great alternative.

 

Not if you try here first and it doesn't sell.
