I bought this:
GI Joe 1988 Rolling Thunder incomplete for part !! - eBay (item 270767694849 end time Jun-19-11 10:34:50 PDT) The seller said that I have to pay for it before the 24th because he's moving to PA. So I send him the payment right away so he can ship it before he moves & there won't be any hold ups. I didn't check my email for a few days & then on the 24th I checked to see if I got a shipping update or a tracking number. Instead I get another message from him saying that he mis-calculated the shipping & he needs $6 more. And if I don't send the extra $6 by the 24th he won't be able to ship it & will have to take it to PA with him. It was the 24th so it was too late to send the $6, not that I would anyway. So I sent him this thread to take a look at: Seller requesting more money for shipping? in Community Help Boards in Community Then I notice in his feedback he got a negative for pulling the same exact shit on somebody else. I just can't believe some people. Last edited by Steelgrave; 06-27-2011 at 11:23 PM.. |

This damned thing could have been half way here already if the seller wasn't a douche. |

That sucks, dude.
Just to play devil's advocate, whenever I am in ANY business transaction with someone, I make sure I check my email/eBay regularly (more than once a day), at least until I get a delivery confirmation number. I've been burned, or lied to, too many times not to be vigilant. Still, man, I have your side on this story. As someone who just moved (out of PA, coincidentally), I would gladly lose $6 from my bank account just to have one less thing to worry about on my move.

Yeah Steel Grave I am sorry to hear that, nickle and dimming is not the way to go, but so many sellers cant get over that mentality which hurts them in the end due to negative feedback.
Well I should get mine in a couple of days so come to brooklyn and hang out for a second.

That does suck. The one good thing about eBay and Paypal is that they will go to bat for the buyer. I thought it was against their policy for the seller to adjust the price, especially after you have already paid.

Hell thats a dissapointment, hope it all works out in the end.
I know it's just the camera flash lightening the colours in the ebay photos, but the colour scheme with a lighter grey and lime green looks fantastic!

6 bucks?
i would understand if shipping was going to cost 7 and you only paid a dollar...no actually i still wouldn't but it would make a little bit more sense to me, but we're talking about something that's 25 bucks... |

I sent ebay a message, I got an auto reply telling me to call them. So I'll have to call them & try to get a refund. I just want a refund now. I don't wanna deal with this guy.
I'll get a Rolling Thunder from somebody else. But this one was perfect because I need a cheap junker for a custom & this one had all the parts I needed & none of the ones that I don't need. In the future if this guy relists this thing be warned. His user ID is Joezeal & according to my Paypal payment his name is Wang Zhang. I still haven't received a reply from him, he's probably too busy with his move. I don't see why anybody would be running auctions a week before a big move. That's just damned ignorant in my book! |
