Kahunaminor Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Did you order that yesterday? Yes mate, Followed the original posts link and it was on the Ebay page in similar items. There were eight left at that time. I went back this morning to provide the link and I note the postage price has been upped by US$100 today for the same item. The seller may have mistyped the postage on the original? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Tamiya-60327-Vought-F4U-1D-Corsair-1-32-scale-kit-In-stock/322809003401?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140620075055%26meid%3D853b827bd7be47b9b546477c11d4d9d6%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D322729138082&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850 Regards Edited October 26, 2017 by Kahunaminor Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maxim Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Gee, that guy selling the kits must have a bucket load of USB cables he wants to dispose of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafju Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hi All Order tracking update: Oct 25 => "shipment arrived at destination country" not so far from the end... Raph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTroll Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I sent this to xsxs3525: "Other customers of yours report not receiving the item listed. Please refund my payment of $39.99US immediately." To which he responded: "Thank you for your purchased! When you bought this item, did you read the item description and shipping term? The shipping time is 15-35 days. Do you know?Shipping number: 30467898296Tracking website:http://track.4px.com/queryhttp://www.17track.net/en/track?nums=&fc=190094Because the International shipping requires more complicated shipping procedures, it needs time to ship and the duration on its way to you is out of control. If you don't receive item after 35 days, just please contact us, we'll give you a satisfactory solution. Thanks!" I clarified with this: "My concern is that the item is not as represented in the eBay listing. Other customers of yours have reported receiving such things as USB cables - not the model airplane as described in the listing. I believe that your listing is false in an attempt to defraud me. If so, please refund my money now." And his answer was: "It is a mistake. I have resolve the problem. Please don't worry! You will receive the Tamiya 60327 Vought F4U-1D Corsair 1/32 scale kit. Thanks!" I guess I can stop worrying now...LOL. So endeth the entertainment for today. Kahunaminor, Out2gtcha and BiggTim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Southern Bandit Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 And as an intermission from tonight's show folks, a word from our sponsors. Gotta love the Whistling Death sound there. rafju and BloorwestSiR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Man, that is so cool! That would surely make you soil yourself to be on the receiving end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phasephantomphixer Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Well if ANYONE gets the kit out of this please let us know...I had similar issue with "great deals" out of China resulting in several refunds. They try to extend the transaction time to make any monetary recovery hard for Paypal by sending a worthless trinket (I once got a soft metal bracelet) so there is something showing as shipped. Most of the time it was just excuses or no replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian site, listing in USD by a Chinese vendor with a near 98.9% approval rating on EBay. At $39.00 shipped to my door, its almost enough for me to try it myself. EBay always makes crap like this right if it goes sideways. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The postage was still US$130 at that time. Just now back to $30.....Seriously mysterious!! Go on, you know you want to...a man can't have too many USB cables 🔥 Edited October 27, 2017 by Kahunaminor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelingbob Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I have been tracking the two "vendors" (who are selling well below market prices) since this opened. The shipping costs for both have been all over the place. One day it's one price, the next day it's another price. Weird stuff.

Guest The Southern Bandit Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) What I don't get is how he's got any left to sell - I would have though another retailer would have bought hundreds of the things off him, considering they are well below cost. I know mate, its utterly bewildering and makes no sense whatsoever, but we need to see this thread and what happens to its natural conclusion, the guys will be fine, no money lost and perhaps a USB cable up, but wow, what a thread, its caught the interest of all the modelling sites world wide now going by views Hey this thread may even be useful evidence for those that never got their kit if any fighting dispute is raised by the seller, but one look at things already from Ebay/Paypal and the buyers will be refunded quite fast, I'm 100% sure about that.

modelingbob Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I would say it is likely that a refund will be given, but I definitely would not say that there is a 100% chance of refund from PayPal under Ebay's Buyer Protection Plan. My experience is 0%, and I'm 0/1 with Ebay Buyer's Protection Plan. Funny thing is, when I filed the dispute with Ebay, the customer service rep told me not to worry that I was 100% covered under Ebay's Buyer Protection Plan and would be getting a refund. And when I escalated it into a claim from PayPal, the customer service rep from PayPal told me the exact same thing the Ebay rep did. Four days later I get an email from PayPal denying my claim, there is no appeal process, and the matter is closed. Needless to say, I no longer have an Ebay or PayPal account as I cancelled them. IMNSHO, (and in my experience) Ebay's Buyer Protection Plan is a big marketing joke. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
