    eBay Feedback Profile for hai_mg-9

    This seller's feedback shows all his feedback are dated 4/1/19. Anyone know why? I did a search in this thread and 1 person reported a positive transaction in Jan 2019. Tempted to get Roadking. My gut feeling is telling me don't do it. What say you guys?

    So what is your guys final opinion on seller One*day_bid nowadays? I finally broke down and ordered Stomp and Soar as they are the last two I need in re-acquiring my collection I had to sell off last year.

    I had purchased from them a long time ago and everything went ok. My questions for you guys with experience with them would be...

    Are they still good?
    Were the items you received in fact new?
    Did they ship out quickly?

    Thanks guys!!!

    Are you looking via mobile app? I had the same issue but when checking on laptop - it was normal for the same seller that I was looking up.

    I wish you luck.. I believe it is a delay tactic because paypal is watching them and freezing their funds because of the disputes coming in. I never received a new China Post tracking number and cangquan actually gave Paypal the same Speedpak tracking number when they asked for a new one, too.

    Speaking of liujungling87_5 ... have had 4-5 orders no issues this year but ordered a Pocket Toys Soundwave he had for $17.99 last Thursday and still hadn’t shipped as of today so sent a reminder message earlier this morning and got a response now that he would be sending it and providing tracking today. I’ll post updates.

    cangquan1971 has started putting a ridiculous # of items on "sale". That's a red flag that he's gone fully rogue is now grabbing the last gullible buyers before he leaves. Hopefully enough people leave negative feedback to make others aware before the damage is done.

    Yes on mobile it says 4/1/19 for all feedback while on laptop it says "during past month". And just checked other sellers and its the same date (4/1/19) for them too. It must be an eBay app glitch. Makes it hard to see if any of the feedback are recent.

    I'm sorry man. But thank you for the update, I just filed my dispute with paypal for my KO MP-13 I ordered 4/26.

    My tracking stopped two weeks ago at the Regional distribution center in HANGZHOU, ZHEJIANG and has an alert when using track17.

    I have reached out to cangquan1971 for a week now with no response. :mad: :(

    I'd actually never even heard of this before yesterday where another person asked the exact same thing. Turns out, for whatever reason, the Ebay app, rather than listing the normal 1, 6, and 12 month periods for feedback, lists the feedback dates as 4/1/19, 1/1/19, or 10/1/18 to indicate how recent the feedback is. Don't really know why they used this setup, but it appears this way for all sellers and is not in any way an indication of a sellers trustworthiness.

    Okay, I'm actually trying to sell off my Supreme Class TF Cybertron Starscream, and I kinda accepted the first bid that came up, but I'm feeling like my buyer isn't gonna get around to paying me. Now, we haven't exchanged money yet, so that's one thing, but I'm feeling like I should either ask him when he will pay, or if he doesn't respond, try to get out of the agreement wholesale. One, is the latter bad business practice, and two, has this ever happened to others?

    I just checked my "New" tracking number this morning and see that it's active... I guess my brand new Battery aka Roadking is on it's way.

    Still getting hassled over my Quakeblast transaction from seller moxingd_80. It never arrived, even after the drop dead date of 09 May. PayPal is still waiting to reimburse me. And the US Postal Service just curtly told me the tracking number is incorrect.

    I emailed the USPS back to say that no, it's not an "incorrect" tracking number. It's just an INCONVENIENT one, because it shows that the package successfully made it through both Chinese and American customs, then was sent to one of their own USPS sorting facilities in Columbus, Ohio, where it sat for a week, and then it stopped being tracked.

    It's likely that the USPS wished to change the tracking number once they took over the shipping transaction here in the US. But that's not my problem. And it's not my responsibility to figure out what they were supposed to change it to. All I know is that the original tracking number still works on numerous online tracking sites, and it shows that they lost it.

    The tracking number isn't what's incorrect. Their service is.

    Dude, where's my carton?

    I know what you mean, and NOT defending them, but the post office is only going to do so much... The same thing happened with my item with moxingd. The problem is, your tracking number, like mine, most likely is a reused number that has garbled info. These scam sellers are changing name and address info so something gets sent so far because of the zip code, just so they can show they shipped "something", then it gets stuck because theres no such address or name. My package from moxingd is still in mail limbo for weeks now. I would call paypal back and reexplain that you have not received anything, thats what filing a claim is for.
