    You may want to go ahead and call Paypal to file a refund claim.

    Call paypal and explain that the seller's Ebay account has been shut down due to his fraudulent activity and see what they say. That way you get it from the horse's mouth. The longer you wait the longer before the process gets started.

    I would file a PayPal dispute now. You will get $ back in 10 days when they don't respond. You can try calling too, but at least make sure to file dispute.

    PayPal seems to be able to get it done sooner then eBay.

    I ordered a Gahz'ranka from yangchuanyan2013 mid-August with an expected delivery of 9/8-10/20 (according to eBay). It has been "processed" through the San Francisco USPS facility (customs I assume) for the last 20 days. Still not here. eBay said I couldn't file a refund request until after 10/20 and then it would take 10 days, but PayPal opened a dispute for me today (9/22) with promise of completion by 10/3.

    So try PayPal.

    So I rolled the dice on acfun_toys for a sealed MMC Jaegertron for $99 free shipping, as it isn't far off from other sellers. I used a $15 off code and got this back today. Needless to say, I declined, I got my refund and wanted to let everyone lese know they would not honor their own buy it now price.

    Just call the post office this item is ship from China so the shipping to you country needs extra 30 USD if you afford it we will ship it to you
    Appreciate your understanding

    Awful. Im having trouble of my own. Work_Honest seems legit and provided a tracking number for One of Two items since i ordered back to back. Now it says the package has arrived in my country but the tracking stops at the airport. I keep waiting for it to show, with no result. It's been 5 days so far. Kinda fearing that it might be stolen, since it's known here that the airpory employees and bosses tend to have sticky fingers.

    There is
    I don't know if its a hack job ( a ton of these guys say they have been sellers since 2013, so they either bought/ hacked someones old account, or they were playing the long con) or what, but an earlier post says zhen,yang and a few others are all the same account, through pictures used, or address that the items are mailed from.

    Moral quandary. yangchuanyan2013 DID send me out something and is showing up in 17 track. Hate it do a fee reversal on him if he actually sent my Richthofen. I did buy a Junkion Blacksmith Matrix of leader from a Chinese seller that later went the way of Yang but it arrived some time ago. So who can say w these dudes?

    I'm in the same boat, tracking shows it on the way to me but I'm still opening a PayPal dispute Monday. I was hesitant before but now that his store is shut down and the shenanigans with everything in his store being slashed in price just before it shut down, I don't mind if my product shows up and I got a refund for it beforehand. He screwed someone else, probably multiple people, guaranteed.

    For anyone curious, I did see his negative feedback this morning before it turned private. It was for a Gahz'ranka that didn't show and he didn't respond to the sellers emails.

    He never replied to me when I asked about shipping status and why he marked everything down.

    Expected delivery of November 21 on mine gives them plenty of time to take the money and run. My guess is their account has been compromised or sold. Long con isn't worth it if they have been making that many successful transactions.

    Sonuvabitch. I ordered Grinder, and his head from that guy. Both have tracking numbers but that doesn't mean much. Guess I'll open up a dispute too.

    Guess the old addage is proven true again, "If it sounds too good to be true...".

    Just called paypal to raise a dispute. I urge those that have bought from him recently to do so as well.

    I can't call paypal but I opened up a dispute. It sent for the Grinder auction but the second one for his head, the seller couldn't be contacted for some reason.

    End of Saturday here (and election night in NZ, heh, what a shitshow). Still no Gahz'ranka. Still no reply. Guess I'll see if they can get my money refunded tonight since he got shut down. Can't say he didn't deserve it. Because he did. Obviously.

    You could say that I have been... swindled.

    I'll show myself out.

    Full disclosure, that was my negative feedback. I placed it because I decided we had enough info to conclude he turned rogue, so I wanted to try warning anyone who wasn't aware of him turning rogue, just in case.
    I would urge others to do the same but... it's kind of a moot point now, isn't it?

    Wow, what the hell? I had no problem with them twice about a month ago (though the items admittedly took at least a few weeks to arrive). Are they seriously going rogue already?!

    Same here.
