Suspicious ebay activity?

[flashjazzcat]

No offence but ebay are scum and take a sizeable chunk out of the winnings especially for low feedback score (not percentage...score!) sellers and most categories are enforced FREE postage and packaging so if he is going to discount it to 16 pounds AFTER it sold for 32 he might end up with maybe £12 in total...not worth the trip to stand in line with the losers at the post office to send your parcel.

 

Give the guy a break jesus christ, why not moan about the scumbags running ebay screwing sellers into the ground with more and more unfair changes....you are lucky sellers still list this stuff on ebay. I have 4000 8bit games and about 50 computers and ebay can get stuffed with their latest changes! I will be making my own website...and pimping it to hell on single high profile item ebay auctions...ebay is just not worth it anymore. I could end up LOSING money on games let alone making my costs back at all.

 

He bothered to email you and explain...what more do you want blood? 12 megapixel DSLR images? LOL behave! I am sure he is wanting to cancel the deal to get back his commission charges from ebay and paypal on refund simple as that.

 

Just stop crying, cancel the deal and find another machine if they are so common and worthless....be a bit less of a child about the whole 'loss' of a 65XE and move on....nothing to see here. If anyone has tried to get bulky boxes down from a loft via a rickety ladder (which is 99% of how UK homes are) then clearly you would know this is very probable. It's not like he can hide re-listing it for more either

 

The days of retro sellers on ebay are numbered, they are leaving in droves, just read the ebay forum posts from people with 20000 or 30000 feedbacks....these are major suppliers to us.

The point is, as a frequent and experienced seller, he knew fine well that the 65XE might fetch a low price. He went in there with his eyes open, and when he didn't get the price he expected, he welched on the deal, simple as. No-one forced him to sell the item on ebay (he sells a lot, so presumably he's happy enough most of the time), and no-one twisted his arm to offer free postage. There are plenty of other Ataris with BIN prices in excess of £80 with £15 P&P charges on top.

 

As for a photo: the guy was able to photograph the item for the auction, so if he was so out of pocket, why not take another quick snap and I might still have paid him £32? Because the thing never fell out of the loft, that's why. I'm not going to pursue the guy any further. I can't make him sell me the thing. What I'm talking about is courtesy and fair-dealing.

 

No-one's crying about this: I just don't like being messed around, which I believe is what happened here. No-one forces anyone to use ebay. Internet based transactions like these are based on trust, and I believe this seller - in this case - was full of s**t. All sellers have to accept losses when auctions don't go as high as hoped. Real auctions can be the same.

 

If you read back a few posts you'll see I already cancelled the transaction and remarked "Case Closed". I'd all but forgotten about it until you piped up with this hysterical rant. Cut down on the coffee, FFS.

 

...I suppose I'd better add a smiley for some irony...

 

Flashjazzcat, i have 65 xe in good condition boxed ,untouched, no any upgrades inside (for now) , i think put it on ebay but if you looking for 65xe? I need little clean my storage,wardrobes and living room.

A very kind offer. I'm not exactly in desperate need: I only tried to buy the ebay item because it seemed too good to miss. PM me with a suggested price: I can only say yes or no.

So, wouldn't you have to take it out of the loft to take the auction pictures? And, why would you put it back in the loft when you know you have to ship it out in 7 days. The more I muse on this, the more I am convinced that the seller is full of it.

[mariusz]

On the occasion of this topic, let me present my current problem. This is my second problem with sellers from England. Listen to this:

 

Here is still visible Ebay site with the auction where I bought electronic equipment. Roll it down to the section Questions and answers about this item You can see the potential client's query about a piece of equipment the player.

Questions and answers about this item

Q: Hi, is this unit with new Dynamik power supplay or not ? Regards Miro.

A: It DOES have the new Dynamik power supply with a receipt to verify

 

 

-This new Dynamik power supply cost about 450GBP (vastly improves the sound of player)-

 

Whereas the seller's response, I sent him the following query:

 

"Hallo mornington..crescent,

 

Under condition, that Your Linn Majik DS Digital Stream Player - Black auction #180425624836I has new Dynamik power supply - I offer You 1450GBP for. If my proposal fits You, close the auction and I will PayPal You the money or remove the block for bidders outside the UK, so I can make my offer. You could send the item to my family in London or directly to the Poland (I cover shipping charges). I'm serious eBayer with 100% positive feedbacks. Let me know about your decision.

Best regards"

 

....and things turned out like this:

 

Hallo,

 

I will alter the auction to accept Ł1450 on the basis that immediate

payment is made to my paypal account on completion. You will be

able to make the offer in 3 minutes. I look forward to your bid.

 

 

- mornington..crescent

Hallo mornington..crescent,

 

OK. I am waiting.

Hi

 

Finally got to find out what happened. Not our fault - entirely DHLs.

 

The unit was collected on October 30th by DHL but returned (something I didn't know about until today) as apparently an item of shuch value shipping to Poland has to go in a specific DHL yellow box.

 

I've lost half a day trying to fing out waht's going on but it has now been reshipped in DHLs yellow box!

 

Attached is the dispatch note.

 

Sincere apologies, this was DHL and none of our fault, you should have it Friday.

 

 

Best regards

Sara

In addition, there is no original packaging (in the description - all packages) and the lack of original invoice. However, the lack of Dynamik power supply, which costs an additional 450 pounds is a cause for which the player is eligible for return. I am very disappointed by this fact. I expect refund of payment with shipping costs both ways.

DHL refused to ship in the original box. I can send you this and the Dynamik power supply seperately today should you wish. There was no mention in the listing of Dynamik.

 

Otherwise I am happy to refund in full on receipt of the returned unit in perfect condition with the casework unopened.

 

Please let me know how you want to proceed.

Dear Sara,

 

Let's make some things clear:

1. This was what You said concerning power supply

 

Questions and answers about this item

Q: Hi, is this unit with new Dynamik power supplay or not ? Regards Miro.

A: It DOES have the new Dynamik power supply with a receipt to verify

 

If You make such statement, that it becomes an inseparable part of the listing description.

 

2. This was my first question:

 

"Hallo mornington..crescent,

 

Under condition, that Your Linn Majik DS Digital Stream Player - Black auction #180425624836I has new Dynamik power supply - I offer You 1450GBP for.

I believe that this is not right now, if you write that in the auction, nothing about it was mentioned.

 

Back to the problem.

Since I am an honest man, not retreat without reason, what I do, the case will be concluded positively, if you send the new Dynamik power supply with a receipt, the original player's invoice and the original box.

On November 18, 2009 I applied for sending an incomplete electronic equipment : "Welcome, I received the shipment. Unfortunately, I find that the player does not have a Dynamik power supply, despite the explicit commentary stated that it is equipped.

....and after some minutes got such answer:

 

The buyer is trying to extort additional goods. These have been sent despite there being no duty to do so. I have offered the buyer a full refund if the goods are returned untampered with, however he has not done this. I believe that the buyer had opened the casework of the goods invalidating the manufacturers warranty and cannot return in the condition they were sent.The option remains for the buyer to return the goods, untampered with, for a full refund. Alternatively he has wait for £500 of additional goods he has not paid for but has blackmailed us to send.This is a thoroughly dishonest buyer.

It seems as though you've done everything correctly...but are holding the short end of the stick none-the-less.

 

I had a similar situation with an Atari purchase last year...Paypal eventually gave me my money back, but it took hours of phone calls, which I only got to after months of emails. Alas, my purchase was also only 120 dollars. But from what I've heard and experienced, if you stick with it, with Paypal you will be compensated.

 

Good luck.

Yeah... , England is not so far away from Poland.

 

Today I added an answer to the dispute:

 

Shame on You!

Quote:"The buyer is trying to extort additional goods. These have been sent despite there being no duty to do so."

My answer - Carefully read the questions and answers section on your listing. Let me quote once again, and last longer.

 

Questions and answers about this item

Q: Hi, is this unit with new Dynamik power supplay or not ? Regards Miro.

A: It DOES have the new Dynamik power supply with a receipt to verify

 

Man, You written in large letters that the player DOES have a new Dynamik power supply. Do not compromise yourself and do not call me blackmailer. You breach of my personal dignity, which is illegal. What's more, given your statement made in the section of questions and answers about the item, in my proposal for the purchase I EMPHASIZED that offer you £ 1450 under the condition that Your Linn Majik DS Digital Stream Player - Black auction #180425624836I has new Dynamik power supply. You never deny that is not so! (that the player has no new Dynamik power supply).

 

Answer to yourself two questions:

1. Are the words "DOES have" in your dictionary mean "DOES have"?

2. If the client declares that will purchase, under condition that the player has the new Dynamik power supply, then prior to the transaction You should tell him that he does NOT have it.

 

If you have answered "YES" - I expect an apology and the tracking number.

If "NO" - think over Your behavior.

 

From this day, the next 7 days I expect the missing items (according to YOUR statement:"I can send you this -box- and the Dynamik power supply seperately today should you wish"). If they do not receive, I will transform the dispute in the claim and shall forward all correspondence service PayPal and Ebay.

Only way to get true satisfaction at this point...

 

Yeah, and "kiss" her face with your shoes too.

 

English women aren't too pretty, and she really deserves such a plastic surgery. :D

@spookt:

 

I meant "in general".

 

Haven't said that all of them aren't "too pretty".

I no longer have to explain a fourth Atari 8-bit to my wife.

 

Only 4?

 

Hehe I have over 70 atari 8bit computers. I'm crazy, I know.

I think it becomes addicive after a while. I just bought a mint 800XL on ebay this afternoon (I could almost hear it falling from the loft hatch as I clicked the "Pay Now" button), and thereafter the 65XE zaxon offered me. I think I'll have to stop after that (two XLs and three XEs), but my self-justification for buying - as a collector - at the moment is the shape of the vintage computer market. You don't need to work on the Antiques Roadshow to see that now is a good time to buy: prices are low (a point which my previous eBay seller should have realized) and most people are anxious to turn goods into cash. Quite how I explain this to my wife, I don't yet know. She may not appreciate these shrewd investment decisions when two large boxes turn up at the door and we're dangerously close to dipping into the overdraft again...

 

I'll just tell her what ThomSW said about English women and then leap enthusiastically to her defence. Funnily enough, she's part French anyway.

The "Boxed and Mint" 65XE I just won on ebay for 32GBP is apparently damaged and not working. Here's the mail I received:

 

Hi. Thanks for the payment but bad news Im afraid. Your item has been accidently damaged and subsequently doesnt work anymore. I cant apologise enough and Im gutted myself. I'll give you a full refund and would like to cancel the transaction if thats ok with you unless your willing to accept the item damaged which I doubt?

Please get in touch asap so this matter can be resolved.

Thanks,

Paul!

 

Call me an old cynic, but I'm wondering if he didn't get the price he'd expected and is intending to re-list. I replied (perhaps unexpectedly) by saying I'd be prepared to accept it for spares at a considerable discount depending on the extent of the damage. Surely if it really is damaged (and beyond his ken to fix), he'd be happy to accept a smaller price for it. If not, I'll be watching to see if it gets re-listed.

Just take the refund and move along. There are plenty of 65xe models out there.

Yes: I've moved along to the tune of another two 8-bits. The healing process has begun!!!

I asked him 2 questions. Would he ship to the USA, and has it recently been dropped from a loft.
