International buttholes on eBay

[Ideal]

In November 2008 I bought daughterboards for 3000 and 4000 from redrumloa on ebay.
These have as of today's date never arrived.

Draw your own conclusions.

FWIW asshat Ideal ...

I looked up the tracking number given in Red's feedback and your claim that it is bogus doesn't quite add up

It clearly shows it left the USA and was received by customs at the other end. Not Red's problem, take the matter up with your local custom's office

[dreamcast270mhz]

You have no place to call Red a scammer. just because one transaction doesn't work does not mean you have to go and slander this guy. I have heard nothing but good things about Red so you and red should work it out your issues rather than you Ideal go whining like a little kid who hurt himself.

Mailman thought they were chocolates and diverted them.

Draw your own conclusions.

So you purchased an item in 2008 and never received it. Now you purchase another, sounds rather foolish if it actually happened. I have received stuff from Redrumloa very quickly. Emails answered promptly as well.

[Tension]

USPS Priority Mail is quoted as 6-10 business days, today is day 11 and I get this PayPal claim filed against me without customer contacting me first.

All of a sudden I am getting a landslide of scammers and just plain a-holes. The worst offenders are in Italy and Spain, but France is making a push lately.. Sigh.. Looks like I am going to start declining international sales this late in the game.

It is certainly time to quit!!! :furious:

Be that as it may, surely this is a matter between yourself and the buyer from ebay.  I`m sure you didn't stroke him, I`m just not sure why you posted this here...  

There will always be arseholes on ebay.  I bought 2 MIDI interfaces in a row that were broken, off different sellers, and got no return.  Tough cheese.

But this isn't the place for bitching.

No, it isn't a place for "bitching", but it is a place to remind others of con-artists like Ideal who are here to extort money from people like Red by receiving goods and then claiming they didn't and hoping they can get a refund in exchange for not posting negative feedback.

I've purchased many items from Redrumloa over several yaers and I've NEVER had a problem.  NEVER.

Even if Ideal isn't a con artist, it's been pointed out that the tracking number is genuine and he should be taking it up with his country's customs service.

I couldn't give a shit how much business you've done with Red.  Read my original post.  I'm sure Red didn't stroke he guy, I just don't think people should be dealing with customers like this through Amiga.org

Shall we all start washing our dirty laundry in public Darrin?

Sure, why not. It'll very quickly sort the liars from honest folk out.

This forum is the Amiga Marketplace (look at the top of the page), I can think of no better place on AO to discuss the purchase and or sale of Amiga merchandise then here. Given that these sorts of issues are common (and often quickly resolved), just why shouldn't they be brought out if the buyer/seller feels the need?

Well we'll have to agree to disagree.  We've lost a good retro-seller because of this and I like to know why.

I know that as an eBay user I wont be selling on one person who posted in this thread.

[recidivist]

Whoa!

I have had NO problems with redrumloa,and my purchases total several hundred dollars-daughtercard,Indivision,idefix,603,and I don't remember exactly what else in past years.

Although I think red is pulling our leg with the $4500 C128 tower even though its chock full of goodies !

[Hessu]

There are several, i wouldn't say buttholes, but lazy, sellers too, i don't know why it is so difficult for sending at least a message, when the item has been shipped? Most of us buyers do know it could take even weeks to get it, but still would be nice to get some info about the shipment With red i have had never any complains, i've paid ultrafast and got my goods ultrafast Goes with some other pro sellers at ebay too. I do understand those who have given up selling internationally (Usually just those guys have the stuff i want )

Have had luck with my shoppings, so far only one "scam", i didn't get the actual item(game), but older version of it. And the seller is no longer ebay member, so i couldn't contact him about it, few euros loss, not a big deal after all.

[gazgod]

Selling on ebay has become far more risky since ebay in its infinate wisdom stopped sellers leaving negative feedback on buyers.
Scammers can now raise disputes and leve neg safe in the knowledge that the seller can do nothing about it and to and ebay doesn't care as it still get its fees.

Draw your own conclusions.

That somehting went wrong with the postal service of possible one of several countires.
 
Having at one time worked for a parcel company at one time 6 years I can tell you that a lot of things go missing.
 
I think the lasck of negative feedback on 500 sales and as a valued member of thsi board that the conclusion is that possibly the boards never turned up.
 
if your attitude was like this from the start I would refuse to deal with you as well. It works both ways.

@ Tension
 
well its your opinion and youare entitled to it.  Since when is it down to you to decide who discusses what where.

[tokyoracer]

Sadly thanks to fleaBays new feedback system buyers have nothing to loose, some are most likely taking this to their advantage and getting goods for free as I speak.
I would like to meet the man/woman who thought that was a good idea...
