I am a new user to Hiss tank site but i have been visiting it for the past few years to read the news of g.i.joe.
Recently, i have a really bad experience on hunting a g.i.joe item on ebay. Here is how the thing goes : I was interested in an item GI JOE FSS 1.0 QUARREL (MiB) that was listed by christin123aaa and then i contacted him to ask about the shipping and the condition of the item. I got the reply in the next day and he told me about the shipping cost and he would upload more photos for the auction at night. I thought he was nice at first but i was wrong. Day 1 I have waited to the night and see if he has uploaded to the item. I have checked the item for a few times but i don't see any update. I think it is ok as the seller maybe busy and is not avaliable to shoot more photos and think he will do it on the next day. And at that time, i was the only watcher of the item. Day 2 Revisited the item occasionally to see if the seller has uploaded more photos. Prepared to buy the item immediately if everything is ok but still no luck for it. I still think it is just fine as it is just a minor issue. And i even think the seller may have changed his mind of not providing any photos. I would respect it if it goes that way. And there were like 3 watchers. Day 3 Not seeing any updates, i asked the seller about whether he is still going to provide the photos. I told him i have seen the watchers are increasing and i was really interested in buying the item if everything is ok. I got a reply that he said he was busy for the past few days and he said he is going to do it at night again. Of course, there was still no update at that night as usual. Day 4 Rechecking the item frequently on this day because if he was going to upload any photos as he said, it should be the time. But no. Nothing as promised. Keep checking it until i went to sleep hoping some miracle would appear so i can make my decision finally but everything has come to the end before i can notice. And there are 5 watchers by the time and i was quite worried but still as he said he is going to provide more photos, i think should just wait for it because it is a better way to make decision as it is avaliable if he held his promise. Day 5 When i wake up in the morning, the item is sold. I was rather sad. And what pissed me off most is when i check the item again even it is sold, i found there were still no newly added photos at that time! Oh my god, why would he promised something that he would never do it?! And that affect the buyer a lot!! From my point of view, he may not have violated any policy that i know but what he did and said has completely annoyed me and brought the worst result to me. That is spending a lot of time and effort on checking the item and cannot come to a decision of buying or not buying it. And eventually, i have even lost the chance to buy it and it is largely affected by what he said about providing more photos. I know i have to take the risk of the item may get sold during the time. And i wouldn't mind or be annoyed if the item is sold on Day 1 or Day 2 and even Day 3. But it was like almost a week and he is still unable to provide the photos and even at the time the item is sold! Everytime he said, he would provide the photos at that night but he can't. I would be glad if he said he is rather busy and he will just try to upload them sometimes around this week than at least i know what risk i have to take and when should i spend time on checking the item. Moreover, i didn't ask for the photos at the beginning! I send him a message and ask about the shipping and whether the item has mint card and good painting and even said i hope he wouldn't mind answering and try to be as nice as possible. He may just simply answer yes or no but he said he was going to upload more photos which has completely changed my plan. Right now, i believe i am the first watcher and i think i derserve to have the first chance to make the decision of whether to buy it or not but i lost it because of the terrible seller that can never fulfil his promise and the confusion he created. I have sent him a message talking about the situation and what is the effect of his promise on my decision and said i deserve to receive the photos as promised at least and has a fair chance of buying the item. And he replied by telling me i will get one on ebay finally and try to be patient(an insult?!)......and he even send me a link as below saying he was busy at this project : http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...serpent11.html What the hell? Are you trying to promote your product while your potential buyer are making complaint to you! How rude and ridiculous! It has completely damaged my brain permanently. Lastly, i told him to send me photos hoping he will fulfil the promise in some way in another message but haven't receive any reply up to now. I guess he is just going to ignore me from now on and i am really really disappointed. I know seller doesn't care the feeling of buyer as long as the item get sold. But please at least don't try to do something that make so much confusion to the buyer that will affect their decision making. It is not a normal case of complaint in buying and selling. But i would like to write this case down as a sharing about what would upset a buyer because of the inreconsiderate action of a seller did. It is welcome to judge it. And i know he is a long term member here so i have already expected a lot of defense for him. But still i post it here because i really can't tolerate such attitude. |

Sorry bro, but people don't eat, breathe and sleep GI Joe. Perhaps he just never got around to listing them. Either way, I think you are taking this wayyyyyy to personal.

If I'm not happy with a seller's attitude or response, I simply walk away. Simple as that. His loss, another seller's gain.

The point is don't promise something you can never get around to do it. I have sent him a second msg asking about it and he still says it is ok, he is going to do it tonight. But that night and the another day, he is still unable to do so. I believe for the amount of time given, you should at least know whether you can do it or not as a mature people. And i didn't want to raise this out as it is more personal than my previous point. How much time do you really need to do this simple task of shooting and upload a few pics? Do you need a hour or two? I believe you can just do this in 5 to 10 minutes. And is he really so busy that he isn't able to spare the time in those five days?

Yes...because sometimes life gets in the way. It's called prioritization. Again, I think you are taking this too personal.

And please stop saying it is too personal. I don't have anything against the seller as i don't know him from the beginning to now. What i am writing about is the whole situation and its affection to the buyer in a general way. |

All this over Quarrel? Your waaaay too emotional to be on ebay. A lot worse things happen to buyers on eBay. It's not like a seller had a MOC Club Dial Tone with fuzzy pics for a BIN of $300 and sold him for $100 the last day with clear pics. The link you posted is from a Hisstank member. Some people are just lazy. Your gonna run into the same situations on here just like eBay people will not put a little effort into a deal even when they can make money. Welcome to the Internet.

And moreover, i am not just complaining about his irresponsible attitude during the whole auction but his attitude towards my complaint after the item is sold. It is very funny of him that telling me to be patient after i have waited five days for his photos to decide buying or not. And he also sent me the link to his product saying he is busy working on it which i think it is really really rude. So, is everything worthless beside your project? Not even the potential buyer's time? Not even holding the promise you have made? I am trying to be careful on ebay but i have never encounter any situation like this as the policy can't help. All my past buying and selling experience are good. If there are problems, all the situations can come to a reasonable solutions which both agree. However, in this case, i am the only one that suffer the lost(my time and the chance to buy the item) because of the confusion created by the seller. That why i have opened this post. If it is just some normal case of damaged item or item not arriving, i wouldn't post it here. Last edited by cartis7713; 05-01-2014 at 05:03 AM.. |

I'm no shrink but your making Mount Everest out of a pimple. Your writing a novel because you didn't get your way. If I was a mod I would have closed this thread. It's in the wrong area anyway. Bad Buyers and Sellers on EBay is the thread to post WORTHY complaints. When you look on that thread you will see what i mean when i say your rant will be meaningless to other tankers. IMO anyone who reads this thread will not hesitate to buy from christian. And before you say im his friend and im defending him you dead wrong. I attempted to purchase items from his BST and I'm not gonna get into details but it was not an easy dealing and I ended up annoyed also. This crap happens to everybody get used to it. I was bidding on a GI Joe item that was only going for $80 and the bid was at $60 I had my Hammersnip set to put a $100 bid in at the last second. Seller ended the auction with 1:30 left to go. The item I was after only comes up on eBay 4 or 5 times a year. Was I upset ? Yes! I contacted the buyer and asked why he ended the auction early and he never responded. I was over it in a few minutes. But I didn't make a grip about it on here. And yes it is just a Quarrel a very common item on eBay and if you look on the BST here you could probably get her cheaper.
