Add [url=myworld.ebay.com.au/classictoyspaper]classictoyspaper[/url] to the list of sellers to avoid on eBay. The only reason I haven't left negative feedback is because I have to wait until 7 days after the auction to do so.
Won a
MiB Captain Power Power Base from him which in the listing he stated he would ship worldwide.
When I won, it turned out that there were postage restrictions which meant that the only way it could go out via Priority Mail International was if they made a box for it.
I was naturally concerned about it making it out to Australia in good condition like that, so I asked them how much courier fees were going to cost (I got a rough quote of $1000 this morning which I would have been fine with) and whether there was enough padding around the MiB Power Base for it not to be an issue- attempting to not only contact them via eBay messaging but making numerous attempts at calling them internationally from my mobile (cell) phone.
This morning I woke up to a cancelled transaction request dispute attempt which I refuse to accept and a message saying they refuse to be liable for shipping costs over $100 (which is anything but the case when shipping by courier internationally is fully insured anyway). I contacted them, understandably rather annoyed about their approach which effectively amounted to an "up yours".
The seller informed me that they expected me to accept their request to cancel the request and that I should just buy items this large locally from now on (clearly the seller can't grasp that Captain power stuff is almost impossible to buy locally).
I have reported the seller and like i said, I'll be leaving feedback the moment the 7 day time frame passes.
I would strongly advise anyone here to avoid dealing with them as this is clearly how they handle problems which arise during transactions.
