Take the negative. Why risk losing the items as well?

I totally understand what you are saying but you have to give people a chance either way I wont be losing anything, I will have the money for the items I sold.

Dude-don't take this the wrong way but I think this is a very naive way of looking at it. I base this off of ten + years on eBay.

Again-I do hope you take it as a lesson learned.

This guy, cenagijoe, also bought from me a Felino. He also asked me to mail it to China and i simply mailed it to there. Until now he didnt leave a feedback but also didnt complain.

[Master Drow]

Ok this guy, aries5899, bought O INVASOR from me on April 20th.

I sent him the figure 4 business days later.

He paid for economic shipping, what takes like 20 business days to arrive.

On May 6 he messaged me asking "where is the figure?"

I answer him back saying the package has a tracking number (all my packages have one) and he would be able to follow it on USPS website (all brazilian packages can be tracked on USPS as soon as they arrive on USA)

Today the guy messaged me again saying that:

"I'm afraid that there is a problem with this figure. It is NOT an O Invasor as you promised in the auction but instead it is an Invasor who's emblem has been rubbed off. In good light a Cobra emblem can be seen on the chest of the figure. I am highly disappointed and am giving you the opportunity to make this situation right before I leave feedback. "

I replied to him:

"Sorry for the mistake, it was not my intention.
Well, send it back to me and i´ll send you
another. I have two. The interisting part is Cobra
Invasor is rarest than O Invasor and also more
expensive, since Cobra Invasor is a brazilian
exclusive and O Invasor is not. Or you can also send it back to me and i´ll give you a full refund. It´s up to you decide if you want
another O Invasor or the refund, in both cases you
need to send the figure back to me."

There is his answer:

"This appears to be alot of hassel for the person that won the auction and paid for an item that was not the correct item. I want the O Invasor figure and in my opinion it should be your responsibility and risk to get me what I paid for. I have already paid for shipping once and do not care to pay to ship it again. I will send the figure I have now back when I have the correct figure (O Invasor)."

Well, it looks to me a highly suspicious position, so i just checked with Ebay Support and they also said he needs me to send the figure first to get the refund (or other figure).

So i messaged him saying:

"To solve the problem, you send me the figure back
and i will full refund you. Exactly as described on
return´s policy. Remember that when you bid in a
auction you agree with the return´s policy. I just contacted Ebay Support about the problem and they also said you need to send me the figure first. In case you decide to leave a negative
feedback, i can also cancel it contacting them and
reporting you. So i´ll wait you send me the figure
back."

And there is where we are now. I´m almost 99% sure i sent him O Invasor and not a Cobra Invasor because I´m not insane to send something that is worth a lot more by mistake.

e-bay joe sellers be aware of 2 current international scam artists making the rounds with the "lost in the mail routine"

make sure you block



marciomarsoamac



farfallarosa1955



If you chose to sell to these 2 gems make sure you ship with priority international.

[nightforceoutback11]

E-bay toy sellers be sure to add;



budweiser311



to your blocked bidder list. This genius likes to leave negatives on .99 cent transactions. This is the old "payment is in the mail" stunt. Pretty sad.

[SH0CKWAVE]

solution is simple.

DO NOT ship overseas.

it's the unwritten rule.

if you don't want to get scammed, DO NOT ship overseas.

done and done.

[JoeMama]

yes. echo'ed.
I'm sorry, fellow overseas tankers, but I agree with the above post.
I don't ship overseas.
Just no form of oversight.

mainman234- Not really a bad buyer but, a guy that gives no breaks and basically tried to force me to ship him something I worked very hard on for for $.99


Here's the story

I listed my Norman Osborn Custom on ebay and by mistake I listed it at .99 BIN instead of an Auction style..(clearly my fault).. now this was up for a matter of minutes..(normally my auctions don't show up in the search on ebay for at least a half hr.)..Well needles to say someone somehow seen it and bought it..(but, did not pay for it)..Now I go to cancel the auction and I see it's sold. I think to myself no big deal I'll simply message the guy and tell him what happen.

well I get this back from him

Dear doc_ed_out_customs,

You should have made that more clear when you posted. Mistakes like that can cause issues between sellers and buyers like my self. But I'll be fair, how much would you be willing to sell on a Buy now basis. That would at least be fair to me since I had every intention of purchasing the item.

- mainman234

I think to myself okay so, this guy is clearly going to not be happy about having to bid on this.. =/

so, I reply

Dear mainman234,

Yea, The auction was up no more then 5mins before you got it... I noticed when I was posting the Ms.Marvel Auction. As for price I'm not good at putting a price on my stuff... Why I just post it for $.99 and see where it goes..

These are some of my other completed auctions

If you want to throw an offer my way that is fine... But, Please understand that it was a total mistake and in all reality should not have been over looked.. Again very sorry for any problems this has caused!

- doc_ed_out_customs

never got a reply back then today I see he left me negative feedback

SO, not really a Bad buyer well...he never did pay for the BIN..Haha but, if you are ever in a bind and make a mistake don't look for help from this guy.


I might be in the wrong here but, would anyone sell something they worked 14hr on... or better yet would any of you work for $.28 an hr for 14hr?
