Report bad sellers on internet. (Page 6 of 11)

I'm very happy with paypal. Amazon too. The are like real nasty dogs! When they bite they bite hard and won't let go. And they make the biggest snakes turn in to tummy showing puppies!

Damn i must get some stocks/shares of those companies!

this i dont undertsand:

she paid 300 and got nothing. ok.

but why the fuck she should pay 200 euro more after this?

pleas explain in detail ...

i'll never buy from scientronic he just has nothing under 100 euro
that i'm looking for

on Minimal Wave forum i also opened a topic and there are a lot of persons that were betrayed. One collector explained me the situation as follow:

"hello,

franck all of a sudden realized that there was no way to sell his collection at the prices we wanted to sell and was forced by market to lower down the prices. And we started to sell records at lowered prices. But he started also doing such things, pretending that some records got lost etc... in order to avoid selling some records (even if paid, like Q4U 12"* which is again available in discogs by him), or to ask for additional money (your friend's case) for items already sold!!!

I really hope your friend get back her money. DO NOT DEAL WITH HIM AGAIN. SPREAD THE WORD IN FORUMS!!! "

*recentely also a german user was betrayed, 300 euro for Q4U LP

One of the guys who received a cardboard plate is a good friend of mine, I'll ask him what he intended to buy and how much did it cost to him..

upd: He "bought" a LSE 12" for 50 bucks, at first scientronic told lots of bullshit but then finally did a refund and asked to remove the feedback.

if you guys know who this guy is, why not pay him a little visit? i know i would if this happened to me..

in that case just send a dead fish

I'm not sure franck bauwens really wanted to sell his collection, as he already ripped of many collectors for large amounts of money since 10 yrs so it seems. I am wondering why he still seems to be able to continue his practices?

I also get a sense of spite from some of these older collectors to newer ones as prices seem to have come down a bit in minimalaland.

again some negative experience with a seller from **surprise surprise** italy. this time it's evilbay seller titterellone. unfortunately the deal was made outside evilbay (note to self: never do this again) so i can't get back at him through buyer protection. i bought three records, one is off centre on the A side (he didn't mention that in the item description on evilbay), one is mislabelled (wrong record, right labels) and only one is as actually advertised.
he did offer a refund for the mislabelled record but only if i send it back (which would reduce the refund to about half the amount i paid for it which makes it not worth the hassle) but not a cent refund for the 50+ euro off centre record.

this is the last time i buy from him. why do these guys act like they're selling gold? fuck that shit.

paypal buyer protection outside of evilbay isn't worth squat. just had a taste of their bullcrap policies: my partner in crime got a record from the states through discogs which arrived broken in half! the packaging was clearly not adequate as we proved with pictures, the seller specifically didn't offer shipping insurance outside of the states (he since changed his discogs page to cover up) and subsequently refused a refund. and here's paypal's official (copy/paste) answer to deals outside evilbay:

Our investigation into your claim is complete. As stated in our User
Agreement, the claims process only applies to the shipment of goods. It
does not apply to complaints about the attributes or quality of goods
received. Therefore, we are unable to reverse this transaction or issue a
refund.

i tried to reopen the case to submit further evidence. here's another standard answer:

Closed disputes cannot be re-opened.

You did not buy the item on eBay. We can't work "Not as describe" claims
then the customer did not buy the item on eBay as we can't have a look on
the item.

We are sorry.

we are sorry my ass. fucking bullshit. i'm seriously thinking about closing my paypal account. problem is the alternatives are not as widespread as paypal.

so, repeat after me: paypal sucks for off-evilbay trading. which is not surprising since it's the same company.

then if you guys are smart, next time this happens don't claim you received a broken item, but claim you received NO item. unless it was sent registered, you'll get your money back..

problem solved.
