eBay rogues

Chances are he'll do something like this again, regardless.

As this is a sticky about ebay sellers, just wanted to check....

Have any of you dealt with darthplaguies??

 

[weasel]

I recognise the name, but I can't remember from where. No doubt someone will remind me.

He is a crock mate. Be very careful! Has had several eBay names over the years (including Luminousbeings) and is well known for dodgey dealings.

Approach with caution!

[burnsy]

I've got an issue at the mo, I'm just trying to sort it out

[paulaura]

OK, bought a powerdroid SW 21 back, bubble damaged on a Best Offer.

Description states bubble fully sealed.

Item received with two sides of the bubble fully lifting.

Contacted the seller and he states the bubble must of lifted in the post and he will put a claim in with the post office and I may get some of money back. No, no, no me old mucker, I'm getting all my friggin money back. Bubble lifting does not occur in the post!!!

Put in a Paypal claim and I've got this response via ebay...

Ok,if you wish to send the item back then do so ,but please note any postage costs will be at your own expense,we can let paypal decide this if you prefer to do it that way ,no problem
thx


Not sure what to do? Do I ask for a full refund and then send the item back, or do I send the item back and then get a refund.

He's a scamming bastard, don't buy from him. This bubble is bloody hovering off the card!!

 

[paulaura]

Im glad you posted this as Ive been tempted by some of his stuff in the past.

Hope you get the refund ok.

Stu go through ebay mate, if you send it back then he could say the box was empty or it was even more damaged and cause you hassle, register the complaint with ebay/paypal then you can provide evidence to ebay with your tracking number that you have sent it back and make sure you get the refund, if your payment was made with a credit card you have an extra layer of protection as they will help you out.

Dont trust just sending it back to him if he is being awkward, it may take a bit longer to get the refund but it will gurantee you get it.

just my opinion from experience

OK, put in my dispute with Paypal and his answer was :

As I state the item was fully sealed when I sent it,the bubble must have come unstuck in transit,for which IU will happily file an insurance claim.If you wish to return it and let paypal decide ,that is fine,but I cannot refund without a return

So contacted ebay customer services today and they said keep the item, I will get a full refund within 3 days, close the dispute and have no further contact with the seller. They said to leave feedback as I feel fit. Shall I neg him??

There is no bloody way that bubble came away in transit, it's fully lifting both sides.

The guys a cock, stay away from him.

I'm amazed that you even got a response from Ebay.

[paulaura]

Although Im glad youre getting your refund, it is very disturbing that ebay told you to keep the item!!!!

I know this person may be a piece of ****, but what if a genuine situation like this occured...

The seller would lose the item , and have to give the money back?????? :?

 

[burnsy]

Paul, I was shocked when they said keep the item and they would refund me.
I was willing to send the item back and get my refund.

I wonder if it's because the seller has had a few issues with other buyers recently?
From the PM's I've been getting, it sounds like he mucks people around a lot.

Aye its good you are getting your refund from the seller but
it shows you how much off a cowboy outfit ebay are you get to keep it aswell :shock:
Maybe this time its a result but this could also leave the flood gate open for the scammers
to scam honest sellers!!

I sold a tri-logo han to germany and the bubble came away i refunded the buyer in full including
return shipping costs!
then sold it again stating in the auction what had happened and somebody else won it from germany!!
I suggested they take insurance as it was about 2/5 off but he declined
Guess what happened it came totally off it transit!
He emailed me but i said i suggested insurance, i could have gave him nothing but
i gave him a complete c9.5 yoda even when i was right!
it really just depends who you are dealing with on ebay!

 

[plantman]

In reality you should send it back to him and he should refund you the full amount plus the cost of posting it back to him, if they are saying keep the item i would think he has tried this trick before to get good money from the insurance for a shite damaged figure.

wait and see what happens...
