What are the QC issues you are having with them?

 

Is it clearance issues on the part where the back of the van has to swing down to form the inside of the chest area? I had to spend quite a bit of time trimming and filing the piece so that it could rock into place. The other place i had lots of issues with were the wheels that fold into the legs... that double joint was so tight, thought I would break something...

 

On my Ironhide its one of the wheels that fold into the legs. The joint is tight to the point of it created a massive stress mark trying to fold it, it just won't move not matter what. Meanwhile, on Ratchet, the front silver bumper won't flip down in robot mode like its been glued into place and one of the heel's on the foot won't flip out. The seller has got back to me saying he wants to see pics.

 

There's another seller who just did the 30 Percent price drop... Items for sale by maojie1990 | eBay
On about half of their stuff..

 

See below:

maojie1990 is very suspect at this point.

I have a feeling negative feedback will start trickling in soon.

 

Oof, looks like I dodged a huge bullet in this one. I was an inch away from buying that Ironhide but then I saw UT Challenger for like 70$  

 

Not to mention they claim to have GP Superator/Grimlock for $126 shipped. Taobao, maybe but not for Ebay.

 

I have almost the same situation. My shows it is on the boat. I ordered in July. I think anything after July was when they sold their account.
Hopefully I'll get my items (3 bills worth). If not (or even if I do ^^  , I get my money back.

 

Another small update

Got my tracking number for my THF03 Dynastron from wenqiang201688 on eBay however the seller lied about when they had posted the item.
Item was said to have been posted on the 25th of July, but the tracking number shows the item had not been posted out until the 4th of Aug, NEARLY 2 WEEKS LATER!

Disgusted.

 

has anyone bought from wanglansuo8 before?

 

Their feedback profile looks shady AF. Despite being on for over 3.5 years, the vast majority (242 of 326 most recent feedback) of every feedback they've received has been from a buyer with 0-5 feedback score only. In almost every case, the user buys 2-3 random items, and that's it. Their pricing and listings look normal, but that feedback just screams something shady going on to me.

ugh, wish I knew about this thread before I purchased, I bought an XTB Flipside from them cause of the discount. I've gotten a tracking number already though but no movement yet. I've ordered a lot of stuff from overseas (rc stuff) and it always came through..I'm hopeful...

 

He just dropped Superator and is now selling it for $63...

Negative feedback will start popping anytime soon.

Too bad, I just bought 2 mp cars from him, I got the tracking info in 2 days and they're on the way. Will let you know once they arrive, hey, I once got a chinese coin instead of an IT Megatron, curious on what I will get this time

 

That's sad. I just bought a Gigapower Dino last month from acfun_toys and he shipped on time, left me feedback and it arrived in under 2 weeks and well packed. You can't trust anyone nowadays. It's a roulette game with Asian Ebay sellers now.

Do you feel lucky???

   

 

Got my refund from haoyunlianlianzou28.

Overall: I think he was a ok seller, its not his fault the figures QC'S were bad (its the risk of buying KO'S after-all). I really should have done my research more.

 

Anyone dealt with happy.go.go.buy.buy before? Almost bought from maojie1990 too, although his past feedbacks have been pretty good so far. Am interested in buying something from him since all of his inventory are discounted. Hopefully he is legit.

 

Based on their feedback profile, pretty much nobody has period. They have 2 feed back for the entire last year, and only 200 some feedback on a 19 year old profile. With only 3 item listings, it doesn't seem likely they'd be a scammer at all.

 

Yeah, that was my impression as well, but since he is from China, it's always suspect. Also having to wait weeks until your item arrives from China unless you pay express which can cost $$$. Can't believe how many bad sellers from China now a days. Saw the latest one placed in the bad sellers list: acfun_toys. Went from good to bad.. Wonder what happened!?

 

Eh, never any guarantee, but nothing looks suspicious about this seller, if they're a scammer, they're definitely not an ambitious one. As far as good sellers going bad, there are a number of guesses, theories, and rumors. Sometimes a legit account can get hacked and used to amass sales without ever delivering items, sometimes it's just a middleman using a forwarding company that can't deliver, but they lack the finances to refund customers and disappear. sometimes it's a forwarder that screws both the customer and the seller at the same time, sometimes it's a scammer just building enough credibility on nonsense purchases until they get a large backlog of bigger ticket items then jumps ship. I've even heard stories of sellers that were stealing items and listing them for sale before they'd gotten enough of them, and were subsequently arrested while obtaining them. There's even stories of older accounts that have gone inactive that supposedly sell their profile off to scammers to drive up quick sales of a bulk of items (this is why people are leery of higher feedback sellers that suddenly have a huge surplus of listings that they've never had before).
