Report bad sellers on internet. (Page 1 of 11)

people still buy stuffs on gemm lol ?

Ok, I've vented (almost) enough anger about native.force, so I'll just say this:

Ben,
if you're reading this, just do the right thing and return the money you stole from the 3 of us robots.
We're not gonna stop until:
a) you're caught by the authorities
b) you're never (ever) able to sell a record on the internet again
Sell some of your "mazinger" collection if you have to.
That's all.

Bias is speaking from experience o_o

beware of melody-mecca. he/she has very little feedback at all but i still decided to give a new ebay member the chance to prove himself and gain positive feedback.

now, the trouble started with him not having entered shipping/combined shipping information in the first place. 20 USD to have one 12" shipped from italy to anywhere in europe is already more than most other sellers from italy charge. i bought two 12" which resulted in 40USD shipping because of aforementioned improper auction setup.

i then contacted the seller asking to update the shipping. he didn't do that on ebay as would be the normal way. he just sent me a paypal link with NO indication whatsoever what this was for. at first i didn't realize that the payment request came from that seller. i replied asking what the payment was for and all he wrote back was: "read well"... while neither the email nor the payment details on paypal revealed what this was from. what he read i can only guess.

ok after some hick hack and similarily informative emails i figured it out somehow that melody-mecca was sending this paypal payment request. what didn't match was the price he was asking. for the two 12" he suddenly wanted to charge me over 26USD for shipping, an amount which i have never been charged before because i usually ignore that kind of auctions. it almost seems like he's trying to recover a few bucks that he got less because of his low feeback number. i told him to reduce the shipping charges to no avail. his reply was something in the sense of: "do you want the 12" or not? i already have offers that are higher than yours." whatever. what a stupid fuck.

once again i learned a lesson: don't trust sellers with low feedback. it's not worth the hassle you might encounter.

same thing here. i told him to use the auction functionality for the money request so my ass is coverd by the buyer protection thing. but no dumbass tells me he already sent an invoice.

well i think he can give my records to the guy that already offered him more money

follow up on melody-mecca: i did receive my discs. he paid only 6 euro for the postage and even re-used he cardboard mailer. so the 26 USD for shipping is a real rip off! even 20 USD would be too much. oh well, it's gonna reflect in the feedback.

What do I do when a "customer" (ebay + other stuff), who is a well known and respected robot here, does not pay and take the records for 3 or 4 months, and  he entirely stopped the (normal and friendly) correspondence? Open a new topic (by the way, this robot is alive cause he's posting here several times a week)?

agreed. and then he can also reply here if there is some kind of screwup..
