Possible trouble on ebay

Hey guys, remember back in March when I won the auction for the Enzo Ferrari (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5963177274&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1). Well its been well over a month and the guy still hasnt shiped it out. I have emailed him several times over this but he just keeps telling me he hasnt recieved the money. I have the money order reciept still but I have to wait untill the tomorrow morning to check on the money order. I have noticed several negative and neutral replies since this and they are all about slow shipping or not recieving what they bought off of him. His username is toy_power_seller, I was wondering if anyone here has bought from him before or if anyone here knows anyone in Hong Kong who might be able to get in touch with this guy since all I get from him is an email here and there. Any help is greatlly appreciated and beware of this guy if you decide to buy off of ebay...

i think i have previously heard bad things about this user......

heh that is the reason why i dont buy from out of country. you can try get your money back from the place u got the MO from. u can claim that it has been lost they can check if it has been chased or wat not. better to deal via paypal if you want to do overseas.

use paypal for ANYTHING on ebay. pretty much guaranteed money back if you have a problem. have you filed a claim with e-bay. they will do a full investigation. i bought 3 kits off of the same person. this was last sunday, the 17th. i have contacted teh guy through 2 different e-mail addresses. i have even sent payment which included 18 bucks shipping for 3 models...yikes. he never sent a revised shipping amount. i figured what the heck. i'll send the money and ask him to refund any overages. if i havn't heard from him by this sunday, or i dont have my models. i will file a claim with e-bay....dont let this discourage you from using ebay. always check feedback before you purchase anything. I have YET to get shafted when purchasing off of ebay. i have had nothing but good experiences. you may also want to try asking a simple question about the itembefore you bid. even if you know the answer. that could give some insight to how friendly and legit the seller is. sorry to hear about your luck...and hopefully mine doesn't turn out the same....oh and i used pay pal...i just really want the models. lol

i've bought things from him with no problems.
we exchanged a few messages via ebay message system (of e-mail relay) and the item came no fuss a few days (maybe two weeks) later as was the norm for hong kong to uk shipping.

anyone here know what the postage/shipping situation is like from hk to us?

and yes, paypal is best.
what i don't get is why you sent payment before you got an invoice from him first.

the first thing i do when i win/buy an item is send a message requesting total and i don't send any payment until everything is finalised.

What a bummer !!! .......... hope u get your parcel soon. PayPal i think is the only way to shop on E-bay, worryless trading !!!

Mike :sunglasse

Yep, I've dealt with this guy before, his names Dennis by the way. I've order three kits from him, and 2 have arrived and one is missing. However, I'm in the middle of trying to get either money back or replacement kit for the one which didn't arrive. So far he has been helpful and has kept in touch.

Just keep up the correspondence and hopefully all will be well.

what i don't get is why you sent payment before you got an invoice from him first.
I didnt, I waited untill I got the invoice to send him his payment. I have turned him into ebay for fraud but I doubt anything will be done about it since its under the $25.00 for the buyers protection policy. I just want the kit to be honest since Ive already got the paint and photoetched parts here waiting for it.

Well you just did the worst thing you can do which is to leave negative feedback before ALL attempts have been made to resolve the issue. You have 90 days to leave feedback, so leaving a negative anytime before then leaves you without even that tiny bargaining tool in your armory.

You state in your feedback that you left for him that you have proof he defrauded you, is that the case now? The only way you could have proof is that the money order is proven to have been cashed by him, do you have that proof?

Just out of interest, did you consider that maybe he has not received the payment, and that is why he will not ship the item? I personally have over 1000 feedback on eBay and I can't tell you how many times I have irate buyers moaning at me about not receiving an item when I have not actually received their payment.

It can take as long as 6 weeks for a letter to arrive in Hong Kong or Japan, 2 weeks is average, and I have known it to take 8 weeks.

Just my 0.02

i paid him straight away for my JTCC accord, he gave me good feedback and praised me for fast payment....5 weeks later, where the f**k (excuse my language) is my damn honda ? i dont know but if go back to hong kong i will track him down and collect everyones models for them (and i'm gonna give him a damn hard slap too!)
btw....i feel you pain !!!

I have went through the ebays dispute center & the 10 day waiting period and he didnt even respond to it. I have tried and tried to resolve this without going this far but that seems to be the only way to get his attention. If you have read some of his other 83 negatives and 51 neutrals you will read that the only way the others got the stuff they ordered was to go this route. Also if you read my feedback to him you will see it actually says I have proof that I paid & that I turned him into ebay for fraud, I didnt say he defrauded me, not yet anyway. The only real response I got from him was him asking me to send him the actuall money order recipt to him so he can "check into it", that wont be happening. He even went as far as to say if I send him the reciept he will send me my $35.50 and the kit as a gift, so I told him to show some good faith to me and send me the kit. Then I would gladly send him the reciept and anything else he wants, but he wont do that. He has even offered to give me a refund, the kit and pay the fees the bank fees for either canceling the money order or information as to where the MO was cashed at, but he will only do this if I send him the reciept first. To me that that sounds abit fishy. I dont think I should have to do everything myself since I sent him a picture of the money order already made out to him (which I always do when I pay for something off ebay or buy something from someone). There are still a couple more options left even though I think its going abit to far but I will if I have to turn him into the FTC and the Internet Fraud Agency which ebays offers but I'm hoping that it doesnt go that far

I just wish all of the people who he has done this to would get together and all of us turn him into ebay, maybe once the suspend his account he will get the picture that we are tired of him taking his sweet old time to ship out our orders or not even shipping them out at all. I 'll bet you if the roles were reversed he would sure as hell turn us into ebay for not paying for them so why should we be any differant?

can you send a COPY of the reciept, never send the original though, i use paypal. are there any problems you could encounter by send a copy of the reciept ? possibly could he do something with the copy to "get round" re-paying you or giving you the model ?

and that's the problem with payment through the post.

you can't prove that you sent it, he can't prove he hasn't received it.

and er.... i think only 76 negatives out of 2756 members isn't too bad a record.

I have sent him a picture of the money order reciept but that wont do for him, he wants the real reciept which I am not about to give up. heres a picture of it.

I mean its not hard to see if you look at the date, amount you can see its for his auction. I dont understand why he wont show me some faith here and try to resolve this.

There are really only two possibilities here:

1. He never received the payment.
2. He received the payment and has decided not to send you the goods and steal your mony.

In my experience, 1 is far more likely than 2 (and in the experience of over 97% of people who have dealt with him). Realistically you have to go through the route of establishing if the money order was cashed. As far as I know, the only money order you could have sent is an International one from the Post Office? I didn't think there was a charge from them to establish if it has been cashed or not, but even if there is it is the only way you will know definitively know what has happened.

His feedback, is actually quite decent given the number of auctions he runs and sales that he makes.

Moral of this story however is....







Always use Paypal.

and that's the problem with payment through the post.

you can't prove that you sent it, he can't prove he hasn't received it.

and er.... i think only 76 negatives out of 2756 members isn't too bad a record.
Well I posted a pic of the money order so that should be proof enuff that I paid for it, just look at the date and amount and to me 83 negatives in the last 6 months isnt to good of record specaily since there all about the same thing not recieveing or slow shipping. Also if you add his negatives and neutrals from this month alone and figure it out thats 1/10th of his sales that are having problems which I dont think is really that good.

that proves you got the money order.
it doesn't prove you sent it.
nor does it prove that he got it.

that is why you use paypal.

strange how people don't really complain when it's hlj taking 2 months to send something
but
when it's a guy doing things by himself (maybe) you give him shit.

Well I havent ordered from hjl before so I wouldnt know about that, as for giving him"shit" I dont know what you mean by that but if its what I think I dont believe so. I have been as nice as possible, I've emailed him and such trying to resolve this. With him asking for the actual reciept, offering to give me my money back plus a free kit as a gift just makes it seem fishy (maybe thats just me). I mean if I bought the money order why wouldnt I send it to him, it doesnt make sense to me but then I guess there are some people out there like that. I will be useing paypal for sure from now on if I buy from overseas again.

let's put this into perspective.
he has over the past 12 months received over 3000 counts of feedback.
it equates to something like 10 items sent every day.
his record shows that maybe 2-3 % of those don't reach their buyer; that is 3 kits out of every 100.
that's not bad.

i mean, you have a negative listed in your feedback.
according to the details/percentages involved, you are not much more reliable than him.

don't forget that as well as him having to receive the thing, he also has to get the thing (or try to get the thing) cashed at a bank.
if it's not a generally/worldwide accepted money order it can take ages.
heck, it take me ten days to get money from a hk hsbc bank to a uk hsbc bank AND that's just operating from one network to another within the same bank.

I've bought 2 kits from him on a really low price and i received them without any problem.
The shipping was slow but i did now that by the replies he got, and for me there was no hurry to get the kits.

i paid with paypal

Just wondering why wouldn't you pay with paypal ?

Paypal is your friend.
Never ever buy from a seller overseas.
Always check the feedback before you buy.
Things get lost in the mail.

These are my personal rules that work for me. I see so many deals from sellers overseas but there feedback always shows that some buyers never recieved their stuff, not that this is the sellers fault, I blame the postal system. You are trusting several people to get your money order to the seller and he is relying on several people to get the stuff to you. Both parties probably speak different languages so mistakes are bound to happen. I think you should chalk it up to experience and move on. Just my :2cents:

Mike.

Have the money order stopped refunded, if it hasn't been cashed. If its cashed, then he screwed you, because he was the only one that could cash it. Little tip on using ebay is to check the feedback first and also try avoiding sending out payments. Use paypal, i had this happen to me, i know it sucks bro, Hopefully everything works out.

was it an international money order?

I dealt with this guy and he kept saying the item was getting returned to him. After 44 days had went buy since I purchased the model through paypal. I filed a claim against him. Then he posted a "fake" tracking number and said he would give me a refund after I told him the number did not work. Well I emailed paypal about this and he never refunded my money and finally they filed the claim in my favor and I got my money back. I def. do not recommend that anyone buys from him. I hope everything works out for you. Good Luck.

I finally got his contact info from ebay, so I tried to call him. Low & behold his phone number (0036017018) is no longer in service (go figure). Anyway the main thing here that makes me think hes trying to screw me & the others over is his insistance that I send him the actual MO reciept. He keeps saying that if I send him that, he will refund my money and give me the kit as a gift. Who would lose out on $71.00 USD plus a kit? Now come on why else would he want the reciept? If I sent it to him I couldnt turn it over to ebays fraud department (safeharbor) and then i'm really screwed. Also has anyone else noticed that in the location part it says hes located in "Hong Kong UK" & says its being shipped from "Hong Kong UK". I could be mistaken but isnt Honk Kong in Japan and not in UK? Anyway theres to many discrepencies with all of this just to be a mistake.

So have you called the phone number on the money order stub that you have to see if it has actually been cashed yet?

So have you called the phone number on the money order stub that you have to see if it has actually been cashed yet?
Yes. I called the company today and they said it takes up to 90 days to tell if its been cashed or longer since it was sent out of the country. So right now he could have cashed it but that wouldnt show up in thier system for almost another 2 months or so.

hey im pretty sure i have bought from this dude. he sells mainly tamiya kits right? i used paypal and i recived the good within a week after payment.
i think u should chase up the money order....

I have used him a few times with no problems Paypal Only.

Ibut isnt Honk Kong in Japan and not in UK?.

sorry, HK isn't in Japan.

sorry, HK isn't in Japan.

Hong Kong SAR is in China (well sort of):
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.

Hong Kong was governed by the UK, so he might have a UK passport and as such could have duel nationality.

I've never ordered from him, but I've ordered from tomchina who is in HK, and he sends goods within 14 days when I pay via paypal. I would only pay by paypal for goods from HK, I wouldn't send a money order, or postal order as they are called in the UK.

I don't think leaving bad feedback has helped you, as you don't know if the money has been cashed yet. If the money is cashed, and after four weeks no goods, then it's time to complain..!!

However sorry if you have lost your money. I actually haven't brought from him due to the bad feedback he gets. Tomchina has hardly any at all, and his packaging is superb. I always buy my kits from him.

If he has not cashed the money order yet then technally you have not held up your end of the deal. You have to allow time for it to get to him, if you insist on sending a money order yo must also understand that this is the slowest way of doing business on e-bay.
I'm sorry but i think that for you to go ahead and give negative feed back before you even find out if he cashed the moneyorder makes you no better than a seller on e-bay who dosen't deliver the products offerd. Next time you need to be more patient.
Hell, he might be on some other forum right now starting a thread about the asshole who never sent his payment but left negative feedback.

Tard, no offense or bias on you or him, just have few ideas that might be able to clear the confusion:

1) What postage method you sent the MO to the seller?
By USPS Airmail Letter (takes 1-3weeks)?
OR USPS Economy (takes 1-2months)?
OR did you get "Register your letter and with the tracking number?

2) For money order, all the banks in Hong Kong takes 3 working weeks (around 21 working days) to cash international money order and the bank also charged US$8 for handling any type of money order. I assume he has notified you about that.

The receipt you attached is good evidence to show you that you have purchased the money order. However, if you have the receipt/ tracking # from USPS for the letter, that is the best way to prove you sent.

I hope you get your stuff soon.

just my :2cents:

Sellers on Ebay in HK list :
Shipped from Hong Kong, United Kingdom
This way when you search for items in the UK you find them, US sellers do the same Example :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43119&item=7970507384&rd=1
this guy is in the US but listed as UK.

Hong Kong SAR is in China (well sort of):
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.
DUH, I meant China darnit...LOL

I ordered two kits from him almost 2 months ago. An Enzo and an F-50. I recieved the Enzo, but never the F-50. He claims it must have gotten lost in Customs, which I suppose is a valid excuse. He made me wait quite some time to reship the F-50, and claims he resent it, so we'll see what happens. I paid for it via Paypal, but it's been over 30 days now and paypal has always been usless in helping me solve my problems, so hopefully all will go well.

Hey guys, I finally got this guys contact info. Wow there are alot of discrepancies with it. First off this is the name and address I got on my ebay invoice, it says to make/send payment to (which I did).

Now anyone who has bought from this person knows he uses/goes by the name Dennis.
Now I did finally get his real phone number and I did call him. Anyone who has had bad dealings with him can pm me and ill help you get in touch with him.

5 weeks ago today i ordered my honda, still no sign of it. i'm pissed off.

Well I called the guy and he said he would get the kit shipped out to me, so now we'll see if he really does or not. Oh yeah he would also like it if I retracted my negative feedback but I'm not going to do that untill I get the kit...

it is good to hear that. hope you get that kit soon from him.

is he going to compensate for the long distance phone call you made? :grinno:

in case it hasn't occured to you, the guy/guys are running a business there.
i see no discrepencies except in what is irrelevant detail in the address (especially seeing as a valid postal address is included anyway)
the phone number.... well, i've never updated anything on any of my profiles except my postal address.
besides, i don't thin he really expects anyone to make international calls anyway....

no offence, but you seem like you are trying really hard to paint him out to be some kind of major fraudster.

Well to me when you are dealing with someone from ebay they should only have 1 name not 3 like this guy. I can understand it if there are 2 guys running/selling it, but then when your getting emails from another person (not either of the other 2 names) it just seems fishy to me since there isnt a company name or anything. Also as a freind pointed out to me a Hong Kong phone number is only 8 digits long not 10. With the way this guys feedback is going this month I hate to say it but I think he is either scamming people or he is selling stuff that he does not have (maybe its on backorder) and if thats the case all he would need to do is just tell you that, then it would be ok, but he doesnt. I mean besides the 29 negatives 18 neutrals there are 38 feedbacks withdrawn, now thats alot of people complaining so its not just me or just a couple of us here.

it is good to hear that. hope you get that kit soon from him.

is he going to compensate for the long distance phone call you made? :grinno:
Nah, I'll just be happy with getting the kit since I already have all the grade-up parts and paint for it.

Good luck in getting your kit. Hope it all works out for you.

the 2 extra digits on the phone number are the 00 which is what you would have to dial in for international call, WHICH you should know seeing as you say you've called him....

again, regarding the neutrals and negative feedbacks.
is it a lot compared to the number of positives?
like i said, your record is only maybe 1% better than his.

Actually you have to dial 011 and then the country code then the phone number, but the number he gave ebay is bogus so it doesnt do any good to call it. As for the feedback thing over 10% of his sales "this month" have had problems. I have had 1 problem in the couple 3 years or whatever I've been in ebay so that is a big differance.

oops.
00 is what we dial from the uk.

and have you done as many transactions as he has?
and once again, is it a lot when compared to actual numbers of sales?

anyway.
how did you post it?
what kind of money order was it?
how was he going to ship it to you?

oops.

Lets see here he has 393 sales this month and 47 of them have had problems with this guy this month, not to mention how many people have retracted there feedback, so YES it is bad. As I said before thats over 10% of his sales that have had problems. It was a regular money order and I sent it by mail, the same way he was/is going to ship my kit. Also I did get in touch with him and now all of the sudden (everysince I turned him into ebay everything is fine) hes going to ship my kit out on the 2nd. Lets just hope he actually does ship it out...

And you may have noticed that three of us here have had trouble with getting our kits. Something isn't quite right. :screwy:

And you may have noticed that three of us here have had trouble with getting our kits. Something isn't quite right. :screwy:
Apparentlly not, the only reason I bought from him was because at hobby lobby the kit is $50 bucks. If I would have know it was going to be such a pain I would have gladly paid the extra and been done with it.

Was talking to Monkey, because I'm in the same boat you are :eek7:

well, i have to say that i'm with the 4000 odd other customers of his that have had no problems what-so-ever.

that is, seeing as how you like percentages and all that, the 96/97% that are happy with how things went.

well, why keep "having to say something"
since tardster already got the progress, is this necessary to keep in doubt with him?

well, i have to say that i'm with the 4000 odd other customers of his that have had no problems what-so-ever.

that is, seeing as how you like percentages and all that, the 96/97% that are happy with how things went.

so there are 3-4% have problem.

also, tard already said he called the number and that phone number is fake, until he got the real number and already talked to the seller.

i'm not doubting him.
heck for all i know, the guy maybe really is a fraud.
my gripe is that he is here bashing someone who cannot defend himself.
that is what is wrong.

there is also the FACT that more people have been satisfied than have not.
sometimes things go wrong, yes and if something had gone wrong, then perhaps he should've just come out and tell his customers there might be a delay but does that warrent being called a fraud on more than one website?
let's not forget that this was done before the situation was resolved.
wouldn't it have been better to say something when everything hs come to a conclusion?

it is just too obvious...of what he is doing.

so they're having a bad month....
what about the other thousands of positives?

as someone else who sells on ebay said, sometimes he just doesn't get payment through the post and the otehr party insists that it is sent.
sent payment does not equal received payment.

That was what I was getting at. He is having a really bad month to me and I was just trying to warn other here so they wouldnt end up the same way I did. To me personally having over 10% of your sales have a problem is getting out of hand. If you notice thats almost half of his negatives have been this month alone and the bulk of them have been within the past 6 months. With some help from a couple of the guys here in AF I was able so far (hopefully) to get my stuff and Ive been able (I hope) to help a few others with there problems. Thats all I was doing. To be honest what I think may have happened is he sold stuff he did not yet have, as I said before maybe the kits were on back order ( who knows).

I've ordered an Enzo, 360, f50 from him without any problem, recieved after about a week.
