unreliable seller on Ebay

Postby Hans Efde » Fri Jun 15, 2012 8:28 am

I bought a
Universal 36-1 ECU Trigger Wheel - 5.20" diameter with 4.2" hole
from seller whisperingwillowtarot, located at Ingrave in Essex.
I never got it and the seller has not responded to my emails. I will give him negative feedback after the weekend and try to get my money back via the Ebay buyers protection scheme. It's a cheap trigger wheel, but don't step into the trap. He had 9 for sale, but at the moment his ad is not active. Anyway if you see the name whisperingwillowtarot, avoid him. He has 100% positive feedback, so I was surprised I got conned by him.

Thanks for the headups Hans. Theres always some fuckwit having a go. Spoils it for everyone else. We had that with an american ebay client claiming they never received an item. Out and out theft.

Hey hey, the postman arrived to day and brought me a trigger wheel:

Not from the bitch mentioned above (Ebay refunded me by the way for that transaction), but from a nice chap far far away. From Minsk/Belarus of all places and for a very reasonable price. So it's of to the machine shop to have the pulley reworked.

It's sad inditement on uk when it's safer to get something shipped all the way from Belarus (not exactly renown for its integrity) via eBay than here in UK!

but certainly not indicative from my experience. So far a good one with ebay.
Where there's money to be made there will always be rogues. Just got to look at the banks!!
Sorry you found one Hans.
Maybe there's more to it.
I once had a customer I ordered a lot of things in for. When they arrived and I tried to get in touch with him, I just couldn't.
Eventually his wife got in touch with me and although she had received my original message, said that it had been the last thing on her mind as her husband had died 2 days after placing the order.

I know it's a bit late but I've always had excellent service from Trigger Wheels.

Yes, but this one costs half of those from Trigger Wheels and shipment is cheaper too.

I got mine from Trigger Wheels, but from their bargain basement. It cost £10 because it had some scratches on it! :o ;)
It's worth keeping an eye out there if anyone's looking.
