Have you had an unpleasant encounter with an eBay merchant? Tell us about it so that we may avoid said sellers!
PS: Do try to be as fair and sensitive as possible, yeah?

There was a guy on ebay a long time ago called "TheGlassGentleman" If he's still around, avoid him. He buys up glass things and leaves negaive feedback for loads of the things he buys and for loads of the people who buy from him. He doesn't take into account that glass is delicate and can break easily in the post, he's a total ass about it leaving loads of negaive feedback like "Item arrived in peices, seller was rude, DO NOT BUY!!!!" when something arrives damaged, a million times over I saw seller's replies along the lines of "What the blazes? It was in one peice when I sent it and I havent even talked with you  " Long story short TheGlassGentleman is an ass who leaves negative feedback for nothing. |

karri1974-Sells repro and original militaria.
A thoroughly unpleasant git,this person.
I'm currently appealing an unpaid item strike due to this person.I bid on and won a lovely east German tunic,and promptly after winning,sent karri a message asking if it was possible to pay in another way than with paypal.I NEVER got an answer.
I waited.I waited for 3 weeks.No answer,no communication at all.
I even worded the question not saying I absolutely could not use paypal if that was all he'd take,I would have accepted either outcome-SOME form of yes or no would have been lovely.
When checking back to look for things on ebay this week,I found 2 messages-not from karri,but from ebay saying I'd had an unpaid item case opened and had been given a strike.
This degenerate is entirely at fault-I never got an answer to the question that would have a avoided this.Not even a request for payment asap.Not a blasted thing.
As well,it's not like he sent the thing.No communication,I wasn't in possesion of un-paid-for merchandise...
In short-The man seems too busy to respond to the simplest questions.Avoid him,plenty of other militaria dealers.

I would not use White Elephant Media and related companies Outpost Media Deals, Mediamusement and Moon Base Media again. They advertised a book and sent an audio book. No where mentioned in the advert was disc, audio, etc... mentioned. I returned the disc per their requirement and that is the last I ever heard from them despite many contacts. PayPal and Ebay were zero help of course. I now use Ebay as rarely as I can and stay away from doing business with companies selling on Ebay. While I was out $25 it did save me money in the long run. Previously I spent much more at Ebay. So thank you EBay for not backing customers. Amazon is now my preferred source for new items. I am not saying they are better, as I have not had any problems yet and that's where the pudding and proof would be. |

In the interest of fair play, I brought this thread to the attention of Kato as I am on another forum with her. She said that she is sorry that you were unhappy with the quality of the product that you received from her and that if your had brought it to her attention, she would have given you a full refund and apology. Kato then said that if you were to contact her now, you would still get your money refunded and an apology as she values good customer relations and is not happy unless her clients are. Please get in touch with her so that this matter can be resolved to everyones satisfaction. |

Don't make the mistake I did and get tempted by the cheap prices of ebay seller "mycloak", trading under the name "Von Lancelot".. the "corset" I recieved is unwearable - it's a style that has a collar/shoulders attached and it's physically impossible to wear - if the corset is on your waist, the shirt collar is up around your ears.. and if you put the shoulders where they ought to be, the corset is way below the hip line. What I think they have done is when the scaled up the pattern for larger sizes, they scaled up everything - including the height of the shoulders/collar/top of the corset. The result is not a garment I can use without significant alteration. The seller ignored my messages and didn't deal with the problems I had at all. Just kept my money. After I had bought it I found out they have actually ripped off someone else's design, too.  For the real deal, the person to go to for this particular style is "Damsel in this Dress" http://www.damseldress.com/ . It's what I heartily wish I'd done! |

If you should ever encounter a buyer named kenny-kenwood, think hard before bidding. I bid on an item listed as 'not fully tested', but also 'working' and 'not faulty'. When I received it, I discovered that it WAS in fact faulty, to the extent of not in any way shape or form to be considered 'working'. When I left negative feedback he then became abusive.
AVOID.
That's all I can say

Also beware of a Ebay Seller Garbolatry. She was very nice to begin with but after getting my measurements for a custom costume, she sent it. It was too small. So I sent the top back as the skirt was fine. She supposedly fixed it, sent it back. Again too small. She asked me to send the whole costume back, and she would refund. I have done so, but as yet have to receive either the costume or the money back. Now she has pulled all her auctions, and refuses to acknowledge any email. Needless to say I'm very upset.

I am currently annoyed with an Ebay seller called chayned_spark, I bid & won a "one of a kind, Sale price" Steampunk brooch, a nice little copper & brass winged thingy & paid via Paypal for it, its now weeks later & no sign of the brooch, also my messages have been ignored & I'm approaching the deadline to leave negative feedback.
Approach with caution this one.

Chayned_spark has earned a negative feedback today. Might be wise to start a dispute with ebay/paypal whilst you still can.

Me too, never received the item I'd paid for, and she had been very informative until long after the point I could have made a claim, then nothing.  |

I just had a nightmare ebay transaction from a user called vintagecottonandlace. I bought a 1940s style dress, but when it arrived it was waaaay too big for me,and didn't match the measurements listed on the selling page. I asked the seller if I could return it, and they refused. I checked ebays policy as they are a business seller, and by rights all business sellers have to accept returns if the items are returned within 5 days of recieving the item. She still refused. I opened a case with ebay, which immediatly closed. I rang ebay and told them of my problem, and they told me I had to wait for a set number of days before I could reclaim.I did, and nothing changed. I left her the well deserved negative feedback, and informed ebay, by phone, that no action had been taken STILL. Theyopened a new case against her, which based on the evidence, I won. She asked for a negative feedback retraction claiming ebay had "settled in her favour", to which I replied by simply copying and pasting the message ebay sent me that I was entitled to a full refund, including postage, when I sent the item back. She never got back in touch, but I sent the item back via the same delivery method and today, after three weeks, I finally got my money back.
This ebay user threatened me, went against ebay policy and was extremly rude and made accusations. Avoid.

I am thinking the place (ebay etsy etc.) and the name of the person or user name should both be highlighted some how in these posts. maybe bold or underlined. a different color and bold font to make it easy to see who we are to avoid and where.
or we could just put a sentence at the beginning with name and place. then have a separate paragraph with what happened.
