Ebay Douchebags....The ones to avoid!

[RoyVegas]

I left him all positives just to show good sport

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
Item was not complete. Its missing the spine card!
the bad communication and horrible shipping charges

I don't understand why you left him positives??? the transaction sounds terrible??

 

I was thinking the same thing.  Maybe should have gone with neutral feedback as the transaction surely didn't seem like it has anything positive to it at all.

and if Douchebags like TTT keep getting away with it without peeps leaving negative feedback more innocent buyers will be suckered in and ripped off by his sales and dodgy tactics.
I suppose the thing is TTT gets nearly all of his neg feedback removed anyways, which there seems to be ALOT of.
Just to check override, if you had have left him neg feedback you do know he wouldn't have been able to leave you neg feedback in return as sellers can only leave positive feedack.

Unfortunately, almost all eBay sellers withhold their own feedback until after you leave them theirs, and bad sellers especially will almost certainly punish you for leaving negative feedback by leaving you negative feedback, which when you're just some guy with only a couple dozen feedbacks or so, can really hurt you.

He has a point which is why I opted to leave positive feedback....I did explain in the feedback what was wrong with the items. I also punished him with horrible star ratings. Altho I did know that sellers can leave negative but I believe they can leave neutral which is what he would have done Im sure....IF he even leaves feedback. Alot of sellers never leave feedback.
All in all I got the items and to me thats what counts...Atleast I didnt loose any money on the games and atleast he shipped them how he said he was going to. I do agree tho I should have left him neutral atleast but at the same time if hes gonna get em removed then whats the point? I can list positive with a negative message and hopefully people will read them and realize something.

Sellers can't leave negs for buyers anymore. I don't think a seller can even leave neutral feedback actually, only positive (or none at all).

EDIT for quick reply fail.

Sellers can't leave negative (or neutral, I think) feedback for buyers anymore. Either positive, or none at all.

I believe at this point either Amazon or Google will have auctions that will totally eclipse egay if they dont already and paypal will be a distant memory seeing Google and Amazon take direct payments from credit cards like they already do. Ive seen a Sega CDX for 189.00 on Amazon which I consider a really good price if its guaranteed to work.

I do shop at amazon alot but just as ebay goes the prices alot of times are high and you dont usually get as good of pics if any. If you email sellers alot of them wont send you pics but at the same time several will! One thing I do like about amazon is that you can email the seller giveing a best offer and alot of times they will lower the price for you.

There was a (US) omberman 93 on there that the guy claimed to be complete in shrinkwrap. The price was $56 and I emailed him to lower price to $40. He agreed and I bought it. Then he emailed me back and told me he was sorry but the listing was incorrect and it was not in box but in a jewel case with manual, game and sleeve. He sent pics and told me he would take $30 instead! I still went with it seeing as bomberman 93 is so hard to come by.

The one reason I deespise egay is if a grievance is launched against you at all on paypal your account is suspended with no questions asked. I know the strategy of withdrawing money immediately but who carries a pc or online capable cell with them when grievances could be launched the day they receive items. Good deal Override on that BM93 though. Reminds me of trying to find Ys 1&2 at any store for more than a year. Kinda sucked. Valis,Last Alert and Cosmic Faantasy 2 almost justified buying the Turbo Cd for 300.00 but Ys 1&2 cemented why that game console was worth buying even at 300.00 with the TurboGrafx clocking it in at over 400.00 within 6 months of buying it.

Be careful with that.  Ebay will deem it feedback abuse if you give a positive and get too negative in the message.

Hey guys,

I got my game from TTF (Tokyo Toy Factory) today in the mail! The game was in a much better state than described in his listing! The $4 dollars shipping I paid got it here in very good shape! It was double wrapped with bubblewrap....It was also in a very thick bubblewrapped envelope! The item got here in about 6 days if I remember right ( i can double check).

The items turned out to be a nearly sealed dynastic hero! The plastic shrinkwrap had been cut with a razor blade on the side where you open the case, it was done in a manner that you can open the case and pull the cd out without disturbing the plastic wrap...SO IMO the game is technically sealed and it is complete! The game is in very LIKE NEW condition!

Ill post pictures up later, it seems that despite the troubles I had with this guy about shipping charges and what was listed on his ebay page about them is somethign to overlook and just ignore him when he ask you to pay more money. He seems to be somewhat flaky but all in all after recieving my game I was very satisfied with the way the item was packed and the condition of it.

"Technically sealed" yet opened and cd is easily accesible...oddest way to describe it.  Notclose to sealed techically  or any other way.  May be in LIKE NEW condition, but far from the same thing.

You have a valid point.....Ill make changes accordingly!
