Ebay Douchebags....The ones to avoid!

[Otaking]

I've had massive, massive problems with Tokyo Toy Factory he's a seriously dodgy seller  , avoid buying from him under all circumstances, basically he somehow manages to get all of his negative feedback removed?? when I left him negative feedback (which got removed  ) I got loads of messages from other buyers he had ripped off as ebay had removed all their neg feeback they'd left aswell.
Maybe a new thread should be started to avoid this douche ripping off more people.

Man, you have no luck.

Tell me about it!

Im having such bad luck that I might retitle this thread......."overrides run in with ebay douchebags. A life story in itself!" lol

Man thats totaly bogus! How the f*ck can he get negative feedback removed? Unless he works for ebay or knows someone in the system! That f*cking suck....Ill remember to never do business with him again.

Oh and I eventually just told him f*ck it if you can ship the f*cking thing in a bubblewrapped envelope and refund me my money if anythign happens to it then ship the damn thing.....So he supposedly says he will ship it now in a bubblewrap airmail envelope.

Sounds like it is time for an "eBay avoid list" sticky thread.

I agree! I wonder if aaron would sticky this? I will PM him and ask!

A logical solution would be to create a list of known scam artists and post their userid's for all far and wide to see. I'll volunteer to compile the list and post it in the appropriate place it this hasn't already been done.

Either that, or just a new thread with Ebay sellers that people have bought products from and whether they had a good or bad experience?  I know a few Ebay sellers I would definitely buy from again (Hit-Japan, retrogamecity, toysonlinehk....).  That way people know who to avoid and who to trust.

I PM'd Aaron to ask him if he would sticky this thread and we could turn the first post of bad peeps and good peeps, then the rest of the posts could be used for stories or something of the such from the bad peeps.

Well, if we're going to make a list like that (which I think is a great idea), I'll contribute a bit. While I've been lucky enough not to run across any bad stores on eBay, my two favorite sellers so far are jump-to-japan and rxmdx.

this guy has been selling cosmic fantasy  and Turrican forever I bid on them twice and was outbid by the same person just to have this seller put them back up for bid a day later. I reported the guy for shill bidding. cosmic fantasy didnt go over 5 dollars nor did the turrican. I think he still has those games up for sale.

As far as Turrican is concerned this guy did you a favor... lol

Man yeah talk about it Overide, I dont like tokyo toy factory either. He doesnt sa antything in any listings about the shipping costs not being correct etc etc. While I know full well theres no way in hell he can ship it EMS for just $4, he does need to state that "there are gonna be additional shipping costs for EMS so DO NOT PAY until I resend the invoice" or something along those lines. Plus his prices are pretty bad all aroujnd anywyas. You can get a brand new copy/sealed Dynastic Hero from Japangamestock.com for less than that. I will second thtam rxmdx, hit-japan, and retro-game-city are definately sellers very well worth buying from. They are very nice, trustworthy and good accurate prices overall. Also the ebay seller that has a wierd id like yyghjjf or something like that, i forget the store name but very good seller also. He ships up to 2 single case thick (jewel case games)to me for $2. DEAD SERIOUS.

I think his store name is yamatoku?

Well I got the games in from tokyo toy factory today.....

I left him all positives just to show good sport and since the games did arrive as he said he woud ship them....Priority in a box! Although his 5 star ratings were not pretty. and deff not 5 stars!

Bonks Revenge was all dirty, sticky, and the case was cracked, the manual is worn badly and has sunfade, the lable is peeling off. His auction stated item was in good working condition! That to me is not good condition.

Far East of Eden was as described and complete!

Dragonslayer 2 was in the described condition but item was not complete. Its missing the spine card!

Art of Fighting was in good condition as well and as described!

All in all the auction proved ok except the bad communication and horrible shipping charges. Let this be a lesson learned to all who buy from him.

Good to hear that it worked out in the end, but there's a good lesson to learn - check out the shipping charges before bidding ($23 is less than what was stipulated in the auction listing).  That's a lesson that I only had to learn once..... well..... hopefully I've learned my lesson.
