I've bought from him before, and generally its been good, but some early items I got were more "used" then listed.
Too bad... Some is good, but some of the stuff is just recycled crap that never really gets looked at before its listed.

I prefer to get from nitronutz for new "used" Revo parts/

Can we get a list going of known, trustworthy and honest eBay sellers?

I was just involved in 2 different auctions and luckily I was outbid in both.<br><br>A couple of days ago I was contacted by the seller (kewdkw262( 0 )) of one of these auctions wanting me to submit an offer for this item (New Revo 3.3 Roller} directly to his email address. I thought this was very strange since there was still 3 and 1/2 days left to the auction, but what bothered me the most is that this contact was not received through eBay! He emailed me directly. My first thought was "Great this guy has a hack into eBay to get email addresses", but it turns out that this guy just plugs your eBay ID onto all of the biggest email providers and sends these emails in bulk and hopes to get a hit. There just has to be something wrong when someone tries this hard to get your money. I did report it to eBay but it looks like no action has been taken yet. <br><br>Then yesterday I received an email from the Loss Prevention Department at eBay notifying me that the other auction that I was participating in had been ended and if I had bought anything from this seller to contact PayPal or if I had sent a check to stop payment. This seller had 3 "New Revo 3.3" and all have disapeared with 2 days left to the auctions. Since these items no longer exist I have been unable to find the sellers ID.<br><br>I could say more about all of this but I need a second to catch by breath.&nbsp; Sorry<br><br>

In your preferences, choose "Hide my email" address. I will give my email out to specific people that wanna talk RC. But Never put your email address on an auction. There are hackers lurking Ebay looking for addresses to attempt to hack. They can send you viruses or attempt to slip in through a "backdoor" if your Email program leaves a port open in the background.

Security is an issue to be educated about. Never open ANY link in your email box even if it appears to be from Ebay OR Paypal, especially ones that say your account information needs to be updated. If you are wondering about your account with Ebay or Paypal, open a blank browser and manually log in to the address that way. You will find out everything you need to know, and be safe that you're not being tricked.

Links in emails often take you directly to a site, with an address "close" to appearing right, and the hacker has used the same html code to build the page as Ebay does. The difference is, it's not Ebay. Sites like this are constructed to steal your account. After obtaining your information, a hacker can change your password and lock you out. Who knows where it goes from there? Same with Paypal.

The Ebay feedback system is there to let you get a preview of the person you are dealing with, by seeing how they've dealt with others in the past. A person with (0) is a newbie. IMO, Newbies just opening up with High Dollar Auctions are ones to be cautious about. Building a reputation takes time. A trustworthy reputation takes more time and even more effort.

A good Ebayer will put customer satisfaction first. He will list honestly and accurately his auction descriptions. Then even If/when something goes wrong, he will go the extra step to make the customer happy and make things right.

One morning, I got up sleepy headed. I had a few things to ship. I packed up two things in two separate boxes. Then in the hustle of making sure my kids were getting ready for school. I printed out the labels and put the packages in the mail box on my way off to work.

Come to find out, I had switched those labels, put them on the wrong boxes. Someone who ordered 3 - A123 cells, now had a 7.4v 4000mah Lipo on the way and the other guy was getting the A123 cells when they were expecting a Lipo.

In fixing my mistake, I paid return shipping on both items. I gave a free A123 cell to the one guy along with a female Deans pigtail. The other guy, I paid return shipping and tossed in a few extra bucks. So, I didn't make much on either auction, BUT........the one guy has returned several times and bought things from me.

As an Ebay Seller, it is our responsibility to make sure the customer gets what they pay for. I believe a person is either Honest or their not.

I hope this works out and Rcwaffle gets what he deserves!:diablo::whip: I've never liked Ebay, It's a good idea, but there are too many a-holes that like to screw people over. I've tried to buy things on Ebay but always got screwed over because they never shipped it and I always lost contact with them, It's just to much of a hassle for me.

He's back at his fraudulent ways again...this time, I hope he gets what he deserves.
