82-T/A Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Is this guy for real? https://www.ebay.com/i/253424148619 "NEVER USED - STILL HAS BUBBLE WRAP ON ALL HARDWARE!" Seriously, who does he think he's fooling? He wrapped a bag around a WYSE monitor, which doesn't even belong to it. The computer clearly has fading and there's stains on it, and it's been modified. He's asking $1,000... does he think we're dumb, or is he dumb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Well, there are plenty of dumb people out there. But, yeah, that's a bit ridiculous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 If you look at the guy's feedback, he has one neutral where someone stated, "Product was really scratched up for something that has never been used." https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=pmj1353&iid=-1&de=off&items=25&searchInterval=30&which=neutral&interval=365&_trkparms=neutral_365 How he's managed to maintain 100% positive feedback is beyond me. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of "after a while" it must be selective or the ones with 97% are clueless about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMenard Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 You can't leave a negative feedback if you use ebay resolution center to file a complaint and the guy refund you. I had to deal with really dishonest sellers this year and I wasn't able to leave any feedback even thogh I won all of my cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I have heard of some sellers getting negative feedback expunged from their record after several months. On Amazon, sellers just try to harass buyers who have left a low rating into changing their rating. Or they pose as concerned citizen or something like that and ask buyers why they dont change their rating after the seller has agreed to work with them.

Keatah Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Sellers having negative feedback result in lower sales. And that means less final "value fees". So it's in ebay's best interest to gloss it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMenard Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Make it number 8 this year... My latest purchase, an Apple Mono CRT for my IIe, was ship to me with only a few balled up newspaper sheet for protection... I've sent him an email, will probably have to escalate.

AMenard Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 And number 9... I'm on a streak of bad luck this year. My new arrival, a CoCo 2 is DOA. It wasn't advertised as untested or defective. About to open a new claim I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
