    Negative feedback is starting to come in as well. I also had received carry from him a month or so ago, but when his prices dropped he did t pass the "sniff test" anymore.

    I thought FT willis for 53 seemed legit enough to take a punt, and I cant get the tracking to work anywhere. Ebay has sat on despatched in Beijing for a month: LX128676845CN

    so do I ring paypal, or ebay, whats best?

    $53 is too good to be true for Willis even on Ebay. I would have called Paypal after the first week of no updates.

    I guess eBay and Paypal don't lose enough money to these scammers to take it very seriously. eBay won't let me open a dispute until July 11 for a June 14 purchase. I told Paypal that by July 11 they'll be paying a lot more in claims, they should be moving faster for an obviously suspicious move that works every time. They thanked me in that way where you can tell they're humoring you and will promptly ignore your suggestion as soon as you hang up.

    yanna was a highly rated seller, but obviously that's too easy of a distinction to earn. I think in the future I'll be sticking to sellers that have over 500 or 1000 positives over a longer time period, like bababobo. Or I'll just pay the extra $5 and buy it from baba to begin with.

    Has anyone bought from bestgift_china? Seems legit but didn't see the name on the list. for as long as he has been on ebay maybe someone here had experienced buying through him/her.

    I've just given wzwu66886 another message as the tracking still isn't live for my Wei Jiang M01B and had the following response:

    He's been really prompt at responding to my questions which helps smooth over any doubts I have. His feedback is yet to show any recent negatives.

    I got a different tracking number for my purchase from xinzhong.zhiyouni. My tracking number said it was due for delivery yesterday. Nothing yet.

    See the testimonies below including my own. So far he's been legit.


    April 2017
    June 2017 (this month)



    He's legit and on the Good Seller's list.

    I think we all need to stop giving these Chinese sellers the "benefit of the doubt". I know you are all holding out because you got such a good deal, but if nothing comes you didn't get a deal at all. After tracking is issued, email them after a day or two. If you get no response after 1 or 2 messages just file with PayPal. if they dont respond to PayPal then you know they are a scammer. I think sometimes people dont want to hurt feelings... but then you get mad when they steal your money. Im not trying to be negative, but the reason we are all on this board is because we have all been scammed or feel like we are scammed. Just file if you feel uneasy. You can always apologize and remove the claim.

    IF YOU HAVE A CLIAM DO NOT FILE WITH EBAY...USE PAYPAL. eBay will just make the process longer.
    (PS...If you file your claim with PayPal you will also get to keep your eBay bucks. Idk why...but all of mine are still there from the claims I've won.)

    I can tell you recently... yanna998, shenzhouxing2013, and hxli7777_5 have burned me ...but I've had success with weilangaofeng2015.

    Its all hit or miss. I have an order from shanfgc-2 that should be here Monday/Tuesday.

    Will update on him soon!

    Oh WOW, I didn't know just saw. I guess we have to see what happens. Damn some of these are getting much harder to tell because they have a lot of TF sales go good and then scam.
