Ebay Seller - Gold Star.

[mx250]

It seems everyone likes to whinge like a stuck pig about Ebay and PayPal but there are some gems out there. I've just been refunded $8.05 for over charged postage  .

I guessimated that I was being overcharged about $5 and I hummed and ah'ed about challenging the postage but thought 'what the heck, its a fair price and not worth the agro for $5'.

So mrajf, take a bow - you're a legend.

The same seller refunded me $7 via Paypal for refund on overcharge for postage. Must say i was pleasantly surprised..first time in over 200 transactions!!!!!!

This is good!
djfshop in the U.S. took the time to disassemble a set of $20.00 forks for me to save me money on the postage. The inner tubes were mint and that was all I wanted.

Great thread. Restores your faith in the human race.  We need to start a trusted supplier/seller list of ebay sellers.

OK - lets keep the ball rolling - Dan at www.re-mx.com - has never been anything but helpful - he has recently become a rep for Terry Cables and I have a problem with a cable so he is chasing for me.

Nothing seems to be a  drama!!!

I found this seller dgs38 is excellent. Fast, relieable, honest. He has over 4000 feedbacks at 100% rating. Sells a number of petcock kits. A+ service.

Actually, I've had a good experience with so far which is important because this is a hobby and enjoying it without agro is important. If it became all agro I would just walk away no probs.

I only look to Australia and the US, I have found postage from europe is a deal killer. I have found the Yanks great in every regard. I have had a couple of issues but always worked it out.

The most upset I've had was from a Victorian who wouldn't send me the parts after me winning the auction. Didn't take my money but didn't send me the parts either  . They were alloy indicators for the YDS and haven't seen any since . Left bad feed back and then he retaliated by doing the same to me, wanker . Bloodly amazing, wouldn't answer my emails until I gave bad feed back then I couldn't shut him up, wanker . Ya can always tell a Victorian, but ya can't tell them much .

Graeme - sounds like the same Victorian I had dealings with!!!!!!  And Matt - so strange - I have bought of Mikebfym and had no dramas at all?

im allways checking ebay in germany out for maico stuff  and they are really helpfull  and i alway ask if the speak any english first   and the postage price are really resonable  considering it so far away

[TonyB]

Paul, or anyone else, have you ever imported a bike from Germany?? I wonder if anyone knows a company that can ship bikes to Australia out of Germany??

 Did you win that tidy little Hercules, Tony ?

I too have been over charged many times (Price quoted different to what is on the box) but I always pay up to protect my rating as I find that it helps when querying things later you are more beleivable. Pleasing though is that when I have contacted them and pointed out the discrepency 95% have refunded most of the difference if not all.
Some cases I have had stator coils turn up and one or both are faulty and after contacting the relevant seller they have given a partial refund and in one case he even refunded the postage.

I have only been ripped off a few times by sellers but heaps by Ebay themselves. Their currency rate is always over 2 cents in the dollar less than the going rate when buying OS with Paypal and they charge about 2.5% when buyers use Paypal but will pull your adds if you try to pass on those costs to Palpay buyers.

In all, my dealing on Ebay have been good but I always try to deal with sellers that have very high ratings @ a high percentage (98%+) and if they have ANY recent negatives I check them out. 9 times out of 10 I found the negatives have been left by Non registered users.

So I suppose "all I am saying is give peace a chance", no, wrong, that with a little homework on who you are buying from should keep you in good stead. I have been ripped off dealing one on one more times than Ebay.

All have a great time at CD5 and have a beer or three for me

No T250K I did'nt go for the Hercules but might just look at a red thing?/? (no comments from the Maico peanut gallery either) sooo does anyone know who imports from Germany
