    Cheers. I've messaged the seller about six times now with no reply. All I'm asking is that they verify the inactive tracking number. I can wait, I guess. Wankers.

    one*day_bid is still a legit seller. Purchased a KBB MP21+ on January 11th, and recieved it today. About 3 weeks later.

    It was packed nice, but the product box was pretty banged up. Contents were fine though.

    Update on liulung87_5

    Scoria, ordered last Thursday is still in customs, stomp, who I ordered Sunday has returned from customs but no more updates for 2 days. Although I have to say I'm starting to get nervous. They have also raised the postage on stomp by £10 today. Suppose it could be because of pre NY mayhem.

    Ebay:
    I guess ive been burned sooo many times I know the procedures..

    There is written info from both ebay and paypal that states: "If you do not hear back from (the seller) and want us to step in and help, we will contact (the seller) in your behalf"..

    I would call either of them and ask them to help because the tracking number doesn't seem to work. That is a legitimate reason for your question. Plus, it it will be on record that YOU tried to resolve a potential issue ahead of time, because if you file a claim, they will ask you if you tried to contact the seller and seeing the file will speed up a refund.

    I am, however, finding that both paypal and ebay are super-overwhelmed with issues lately, and try to delay things as much as they can because they do get a cut of they sellers fees...but that is their OWN fault for letting the scammers ruin everything in the first place.

    Just came off the phone to eBay. Woman told me I have to wait as there's nothing they can do regarding tracking number and lack of contact from seller. Useless really.

    Not a Chinese seller, allegedly Italian (though they do state "We have a factory in China to make professional cosplay costumes for our customers all over the world", but then only have one item for sale and it isn't even a cosplay costume o_O )

    They've already sold 2, have more than 10 available, but it's far too suspicious for me at that price...

    The sure signs that I see... They have FT 14 and FT 15 for $78 and $80. Quantity available keeps increasing. Both of these figures are long sold out everywhere and are fetching $200+. No way they have that many in stock and for that price. The price on FT Soar is very low as well. If it sounds to good to be true.....

    Somewhat frustratingly the seller I'm waiting on has today had another positive feedback from someone who purchased the same item as I. Does this mean I simply have to be patient? Has the seller been scamming intermittent customers? Stay tuned...

    Any reports for guofei8608038 ?
    Have seen people have enquired but not sure if anyone has used them. They have a good selection of stock and seem to have good feedback related to TF transaction.

    I wouldn't risk buying from that seller. Their product description of MP-21 is "Love Wish Pearl Kit"..

    I'm waiting for my order from him.
    It has already missed the estimated delivery date.
    I'll let you know how the situation evolves.

    Every item he sells has the same description, so the possibilities are:
    1) he's lazy
    2) he's preparing to turn scam
    3) he's already a scam

    That has been mentioned before (many pages back, this thread is soooo long :rolleyes: )... I suppose that means you can't say "item not as described" when you get sent beads :p

    Ebay:
    Avoid the following sellers like the plague, wangyanju66, honghuotiantian*20, they have the same pictures and listings as wangpan986-1. I have been tracking a Graviter I ordered from wangyanjun66, it has been stuck in customs for nearly a week showing "in transit to my hometown." I called the post office and found out the package weighs 2oz. either my Graviter is on a diet or it is an empty envelope. I notified ebay that honghuotiantian*20 is posting fraudulent items as well, listing chrome guttur in stock with more than 10 available, hopefully we all know by now that is a scam especially since wangpan986-1 said the exact same thing, my guess same guy. Just trying to help guys, but you want to throw money away throw it at showzstore or bababobob00712. I will NEVER try to save again with these other scam artists, going with the guys we KNOW we can trust. Fortunately got my money back, but as a power seller on ebay I can tell you only a matter of time until PayPal kicks up their rates because of scum bags like this, also inside secret just notified last night PayPal is going to be slowly phased out of ebay over the next 2 years, going with Adyen. Paypal will still be offered during this time.
