Ebay sellers to be cautious of

pmacc · 23-09-2016, 09:50 PM

After seeing Shane's (barnz_xr8) thread on his issues with dodgy parts and having my first run in with an arrogant seller who tried to rip me off after we made a deal via email, i thought it would be good to have a list of sellers on Ebay that we should be cautious in dealing with.

Best format for this imo would be state the sellers name and then give a reason why anyone should be cautious of this seller.

ill get started

goldgt0369, backed out of a written deal and became aggressive in subsequent emails until purchase was cancelled

For barnz_xr8

Ausdigital147, misleading advertising, cheap knock off (substandard) parts delivered

This will just end up in a Sh.it fight, everyone's idea of a bad deal will be different. Someone will bag out a seller because the item turned up after 4 days and not 3 like the seller said but hey...give it a go.

It is a something that crossed my mind as a potential problem when starting this thread, my intention of the thread is to be a guide of sellers to just take an extra second or two to before buying from them. Its also why i suggested members leave a reason, so in the hypothetical case above some members will go that's not an issue to me, and go ahead with their transaction

Maybe we should list our favorite sellers instead

I've bought several great discount suspension parts from Ebay seller 'Suzukisuper'.

+1 for Suzukisuper.
Fast delivery and good prices.
Was a bit dubious about their rear shocks for territory at GREAT prices, but they still work great after 20,000ks. Balljoints etc are fine, as good (bad..) as OEM

I'd only buy "named" items through Suzuki Super .... I have been to their actual premises and they are busy as well. But I found the hard way that their Falcon hubs are poor quality and failed within 2 weeks ... even the replacement one I got through them.

I cut my losses and purchased a reputable brand.
