<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 404174, member: 4626&quot;]Just wanted to make you aware of the experience I had with the eBay seller &quot;worldcurrencyandcoin&quot; to warn others here who may end up buying, or thinking about buying, from this seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Timeline:</p><p><br /></p><p>June 18:&nbsp; Auction ended, I was one of the winners with a bid of $45 (seller was selling two identical items in a Dutch auction).</p><p><br /></p><p>June 20:&nbsp; I paid for the auction, $45 + $4 shipping (+$5 insurance, that the auction listing never mentioned as mandatory and which I couldn&#039;t opt out of.)</p><p><br /></p><p>July 11:&nbsp; Not having received the item yet, I politely asked the seller if they could confirm when they sent it.&nbsp; Since it was sent registered mail, they could have provided tracking information.&nbsp; They claimed they were investigating the matter with the Singapore Post (seller is based in Singapore) and would take about 7 days to investigate.&nbsp; (The Singapore Post has a website where you can track registered mail INSTANTLY, and there&#039;s no reason this should have taken more than a few minutes to reply with shipping info).</p><p><br /></p><p>July 15: Claimed they sent a replacement item; again gave no tracking info even though it was sent registered mail (something that should have occured for them to do, considering the first shipment was already allegely &quot;lost&quot;.)</p><p><br /></p><p>July 26: Tired of waiting, I asked for a refund, opened a dispute with PayPal, and left them negative feedback with eBay.&nbsp; They responded by opening up an unpaid item dispute with eBay, claiming I never paid (easily disproven when eBay confirmed the information from PayPal, <i>which they own</i>, something that should have occured to this seller!).&nbsp; They also tried to insist they sent me two items which I am holding onto (they never provided any proof of ever sent the first item, and the tracking info that they provided <i>PayPal</i>, not me, for the second shipment, proves they sent <i>something</i> nearly a full week later after they claimed to have sent the replacement.&nbsp; Whatever that is, it still has not arrived here.).</p><p><br /></p><p>They also tried accusing me of being a NPB (non-paying bidder) in their reply to my negative feedback, and blocked me from any of their auctions (as if I would want to ever do business with them again anyway).</p><p><br /></p><p>Take this for what it&#039;s worth... perhaps my experience with this person is the exception, not the rule... but if they&#039;ll treat me like this be sure that they have the capacity to treat others the same way.&nbsp; I&#039;ve dealt with lost packages from eBay sellers before; they were always courteous and promptly replaced them.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t drag their feet, withhold information, launch counteraccusations, and outright <i>lie</i> to me, eBay, and PayPal.</p><p><br /></p><p>At this point I&#039;m trying to resolve the dispute with PayPal to try to get my money back.&nbsp; Will give you updates when I see how that turns out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would advise anyone considering buying or bidding on anything from this seller to consider my experience descibed here and decide if that&#039;s someone they want to attempt to do business with.&nbsp; Would highly advise against it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller again is &quot;worldcurrencyandcoin&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; Using Toolhaus I found out this person received a similar complaint about a week ago... a buyer claimed he never received the item he paid for... and this seller left the same response, accused the buyer of never paying.&nbsp; Digging deeper into his negative and neutral feedback, I&#039;ve found out this apparently happens a few times a month: A buyer claims they nevere received the item, the seller accuses the buyer of never paying; often the follow up the buyer inisists they paid immediately or almost so.&nbsp; Identical to my circumstance it seems...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
