Stay away from this seller on Ebay
 

kencr250

I won 2 auctions for a complete set of Losi 8ight Buggy 2.0 shocks F&R's and they guy waited 5 days befor shipping them and charged me almost 8.00 for Priority and sent items First Class.
I seen he didn't use payPal to print the label and I asked for a tracking #, he ignored my emails for a couple days till I aquired his personal info via ebay and asked him WTF is going on. His reply was "Items were sent First Class" with no apology or explanation. Now I have to wonder if items will be as described ?
I know these are the chances one takes buying on Fleabay, Seller has a decent FB score and turned out to be a DOUCHE BAG. Hope your seeing this Ken, you dick hole.

that pisses me off too, and unfortunately seems to be more the norm lately. ebay, as well as forums to buy/sell (runryder, RCG, helifreak, etc.). i probably bought 20 things in the past month, from $30 receivers to a $600 heli... probably 90% didn't bother to communicate at all after they got their money. luckily i got my stuff, but i was really sweating it on a few of them.

I hear ya, I sell A LOT on Ebay. I do my own thing and run the Ebay store for my buddys LHS and I kiss ass through email doing everything humanly possible to keep customers happy and informed out of consideration. Even the morons that ask the dumbest questions get nice cheery replys while I'm thinking how I'd like to kick their head because their soo freakin stupid.
It seems the more Ebay changes it makes it harder on the sellers to make a buck, then fewer of them give a rats ass anymore. Ebays biggest mistake was taking the ability for sellers to leave Neg FB for buyers ! Ever since then I've had more dam unpaid buyers, then you have to jump through a hoop to get the credit and all the buyer gets is a remark on their feedback that doesn't even show to warm other potental sellers ????
This guy mentioned above has FB score of just under 700, you'd think he still has something to worry about getting a Neg FB, it'll hurt and look like shizz on his score. Aparently he's unconcerned, well see how he changes his tune if no partial refund is offered or refuses anymore communication ?

Sorry man that sucks, thanks for the heads up. I had that happen to me a while back, bought a bunch of parts from one of these chop shop type places and the shipping was more than the parts. When I left him positive feedback but mentioned that the shipping should be combined he stroked out. Even tried to leave me a nasty feedback, but fortunately the new policy had started that buyers can't be left negative feedback. And he is no longer on ebay or I would have done the same thing as you. Same thing will happen to this douche, no one will want to deal with him. :diablo:

Heres a email he just sent me

""I use priority on large things. First class on most things keeps cost down. Only way to cover actual costs ebay fees pay pal fees ink and so on, my feed back says it all every one gets things fast using 1st class. No complaints. Hope you won't be the first. Thanks ken""

Funny, on the auction page it says "PRIORITY" and charged me $7.49 for first class. He's in IL so I know it would have cost only 3.00 and change for FC and 4.80 for Priority and he still would have made a couple bucks, what a rump plugger.

Heres my response,


"When I purchased those shocks there are certain things to be expected, Priority shipping was one of them. Now you've compromised my RC build because the item will arrive way later than advertised. You made plenty of profit of the shocks not to ship them priority not to mention the $7.49. I happily paid the excessive amount for those items and the shipping because I needed them pronto, not a week later.

Your attitude is a little to care free for my tastes when it come to keeping customers happy, the "o-well" attitude doesn't fly.
You haven't made the first attempt of a apology, that speaks volumes, you flat out don't give damn.

Unfortuantely for you, I have 2 ebay accounts and sell hundreds of items a month between them, I know damn well what it cost to send those shocks FC and Priority, you just got greedy.

Hope you enjoy the FB you will be recieveing, you earned it."

What's funny about the usps is if I order something fom amain or losipartshouse I get the items in the same time whether it's priority or first class. If I order on Sunday I always get my order on Wednesday, first class or priority. :neutral:

its not like the usps truck will move slower with first class.. its just not "priority mail" so id think the only difference is handling time.

if they arent heavily backed up everything goes on the truck at the same time

that is my theory

And i thought i was crying about hotbodies charging me $7.23 for shipping for a wing. I ordered those 9 dollar diffs they had in the garage sale but they were out and they just refunded theprice for the diffs and sent the wing, if i had knew they were no longer available i would have not ordered the wing. i get a big box with a magazine and some sticker sheets.

dude,that's my account. PM me, I'll do what it takes to make it right.

I hope not Harold,Your busting my chops right ? If so ol' Ken needs displinary action.

He just sent refund and basically called me an asshole. Now I have to start all over again. Sheesh.

I think harold is into discipline.. Only paralyzed guy I know with kneepads and a robo-spanker.

You need to forward his message to ebay as recouping fees is strictly forbidden through shipping charges.

Ok, everyone on ebay is in trouble then, including myself.
Ereyone trys to make a little extra coin on shipping, but advertising priority and shipping FC is a dick move.

agreed.. I cant say that I dont charge an extra dollar or 2 on my shipping to pay for the ridiculous fees that are incorporated in using ebay and paypal (listing fees, final value fees, AND paypal fees) I lose easy 4-5 dollars on every 40 dollars I sell.
