    thanks for this info. I just got off the phone with PP and they're giving the seller 10 days.
    hongbo is officially bad!

    Well this is interesting. I'm not too concerned yet, since it's only been a few days. Although, it's slightly annoying that he doesn't have the products 'in hand'.

    This is for KO Ironhide and Prowl. I will update when I have more info.

    I am sorry to hear what had happened. I have stopping using Chinese sellers other than baba for a long time. It is just too much trouble to go through and baba ships toys lightning quick. The tracking number is usually active in a couple of days and he replies all my messages. To offset the price difference, I buy during the ebay flash sale ($15 off $75, once per month) together with baba's $5 off $70 coupon it saves me $20 on every purchase. I also use my wife's Ebay account so I can buy two figures at once if needed. The only drawback is she knows how much I spent on toys. :(

    IMG_20170607_133135.jpg Got him. afclub is legit. Box is in amazing condition. It shipped In a box rather than the sleeve thing they usually come in.

    Ugh, another negative feedback today for hxli7777_5. Not good. My tracking numbers didn't show anything for almost 2 weeks, and after 2.5 weeks tracking still shows in China. Should I file Paypal claim now or wait?


    Edit: I've decided to wait until the 3-week mark hits (this coming Saturday, 6/10). If package has not been processed through and left China facility by then, I will message the seller asking to furnish the item or process a refund within 48 hrs or I will open a Paypal claim on Monday 6/12.

    I went ahead and ordered a Quakeblast from baba yesterday and got a notice for tracking the same day. I have a good feeling I made the right decision to pay a little more to avoid the hassle of scammers. Not to mention I'd rather support a legit seller than someone that will most likely go rogue at some point.

    Re: whzhen1976-9

    I sent the Seller a message last night asking for an update on the shipping and just got this response:

    [​IMG]

    College entrance exams causing delays? Makes no sense to me but I'll give him time to prove his reliability before I jump to any conclusions.

    You should contact the Seller for an update if you haven't already.

    So bad news. I just got this message from a new user who can't post on the forums because he just joined. Check my profile for the message.

    Take it as you will since this guy is not a verified user (no offense YumYumPrime and thanks for the heads up) but I don't see why anyone would make this up.

    Anything can happen but it is very hard to image why baba will go rogue given the reputation he has built over the years. If I were him, I would stay in the business knowing that I have tons of buyers waiting to buy from me.

    I filed my claim with Paypal a couple of days ago and got my refund already. Probably going to stick with the usual merchants from now on...
