Bought a from
short Blaster mask and figures lot
from
Rob Vader Collectibles
.
To begin with seller did not respond to roughly 6 messages asking about the condition of the item while it was active (wanted to make sure the Blaster mask hadn't been cut). Seller marked item as sent after payment was made and so I contacted them about the tracking number, as the item was being sent by Priority Mail International at $18. They told me the item hadn't even been sent yet and that the list had stipulated a 3 day shipping timeframe after payment was receivied.
I then asked them again about the condition of the mask where they claimed that it wasn't their responsibility to know what they were talking about and asked why I bought it if I wasn't sure.
The item arrived and while it was fine, the postage costs were not. The seller had actually sent the item via 1st Class mail international for a cost of, get this, $3.12- pocketting the $14.88 difference for himself.
When I raised it with the seller (even offering to factor in a few bucks for the cost of the padded enveolope and ziplock bags he'd used); to begin with it took an international phone call to actually get a response, and when I did, it was to tell me I was lucky to get the item for 50% off and that there was no shipping to Australia for $3.12.
I messaged back that the shipping which was stated both on the package and on the USPS website for shipping a parcel 3 oz or less and that the cost of the item was irrelevant as he had placed the item on sale knowing full well that that involved losses on his part. Seller then claimed that sale price was a moral issue.
I called him out on the fact that the moral issue was that he'd charged me for one form of shipping, sent by a cheaper method and pocketed the difference for himself.
At the same time, I spelled out what would happen depending on which approach he used. I even gave him the opportunity to still get positive feedback by doing the right thing. His response though was to tell me how he'd been scammed so many times by buyers and to play the victim.
My patience at that point wore thin. I told him he had until the 8th to decide what he was going to do and that if he refused to do the right thing, I was reporting him to eBay, leaving neg feedback and spreading the word around forums.
I got no response. I messaged him again early this morning reminding him that he had 20 hours left to do the right thing until the deadline.
At that point I got a response back telling me to not contact him again or he would regard it as harassment.
He might have some nice things, but with how fraudulently he has behaved and how much of a headache he's proven to be to deal with, I'd advise each and every one of you to avoid him like the plague!
