    (Edit - Just read some older pages. Seems you guys already put him on the list recently. Guess I'll leave this post up as more proof.)

    qiuzhiqing7895 is definitely a scammer now, seemingly went rogue.

    I tried to buy a KO undersized CW Devastator from them. They had a 90 something % approval rating, so I thought it was safe. A month later the package my tracking has been showing is finally stateside. It arrives in my town, but goes straight to the post office. It was an envelope, mailed to my town, right tracking number, but obviously way too small, and someone else's name, and address on it.

    Talked to the people at the post office, they said the address of the envelope wasn't one that actually existed. I looked at his rating, and he/she had gotten 58 negative ratings in one month since I ordered the product. I tried to contact him, and nothing. Luckily EBay refunded me, saying he/she wouldn't respond to them either.

    I'm definitely having second thoughts about purchasing from a Chinese Ebayer again in the future if they can turn rogue on a dime. I just happened to end up buying on the month it happened. One month later, and I would have seen all of the negative reviews.

    I ended up going with SirToys to buy the Devastator, and it was a pleasant experience. I got the item quick, and they were very responsive, and polite. I'd definitely recommend SirToys. The now CW scale Devy is now displayed happily staring down my Dinobots, lol.

    Glad to see you got what you needed in the end. Do you have a link to the item from ST?

    I've been scammed on almost every one of the last 5 or 6 3rd party figures I've bought off eBay, on normal priced stuff from sellers with good feedback that were previously good sellers. It's like they have all conspired to go bad at the same time. What's going on that would make them do that?

    I want eBay to do something about it, but what can they do? Good sellers going bad isn't something you can see until it happens.

    Yup, and thnx.

    CBB CW Devastator - Combiner - SirToys.com

    If you hadn't heard of this Devastator. It's basically CW Devastator downsized to the same height as the rest of the CW combiners. Well, if you don't have PE hands, and feet he's about a head taller.

    Maojie1990's items are gone and they set their feedback to private..eBay Feedback Profile for maojie1990
    I guess they think if we cant see the same negative complaints piling up..or
    It's ok for them to scam us, but not ok for us to leave negative feedback for them..

    I just saw that. I noticed all their items were removed earlier today. My xtb flipout (or stickers) have departed on a plane, so we'll see in a few days what I actually get

    I've added maojie1990 to the bad sellers list. Be prepared to call Paypal to file a refund claim if needed.

    Just noticed that myself. I can’t even send a nasty mail to him anymore!

    Guess I got very lucky with Slingshot, now to get my money back for the other two :/

    I bought MP-12 Lambor from him earlier in the year. He arrived fairly quickly but was slightly damaged, in a way I could live with. He offered me a £5 refund or £8 off another order. So I bought MP-25 Tracks, who arrived in just over a week. So, unless things have changed since May, he's a good seller!

    Could be wrong but depends on size and on who handels it. Small e-packet. A lot of stuff e-express.

    Ebay:
    If you want, you can call ebay and let them know you are upset with their feedback system letting sellers put their feedback on private, because you have a question for the seller because you are "missing items." How you are supposed to communicate with the seller at this point because along with setting feedback to private, that shuts off internal emails... them know the shadyness of letting a seller put their feedback on private. Considering ebay themselves tell us to use the feedback as a rule when purchasing.

    Two final updates to my list:

    onlineshopping_tech = MP (KO) Loudpedal for $AUD89,95
    jiangyaoming2018_0 = MP KO Shockwave for $41,89
    jiangyaoming2018_0 = MP KO Grapple for $45,98
    gugang197-8 = X-Transbots Paean for $88,-
    ahbj1981-9 = MP KO Frenzy+Buzzsaw for $15,99

    and maojie1990 =
    Zeta Toys ZB-03 Silver Arrow for $98,-
    Zeta Toys ZB-04 Catapult for $46,20
    Zeta Toys ZB-05 Downthrust for $44,10

    Right now the status is:
    • jiangyaoming2018_0's MP KO Shockwave arrived in 8 days. His Grapple arrived today. That's 2 out of 2. Also, I ordered the wrong item the 2nd time around. I explained and since he hadn't sent it yet, I suggested he sent me Grapple instead (it was about the same price). He responded quickly and agreed: jiangyaoming2018_0 is good!
    • gugang197-8: bought July 28th, received a t&t code, shipped Aug/4, arrived Aug/12. gugang197-8 is still good!
    • ahbj1981-9: bought Aug 2nd, received a t&t code, shipped Aug/5, arrived Aug/12. ahbj1981-9 is still good!
    • onlineshopping_tech: bought Aug 2nd, received a t&t code, package disappeared but got my money back right away, so onlineshopping_tech is still good!
    • maojie1990: 3 Zeta Kronos bots bought Aug 3rd, Zeta Catapult arrived Aug 17th. We've established now that he has gone rogue. His listings are gone from eBay. I just filed a claim with Paypal. Guess I should count myself lucky for getting the one robot... maojie1990 sucks!
    That's it for this bunch. Show's over, go on home ;)

    Do we trust faithtoptalk? They have something I am really interested in for a below average price. It almost seems too good to be true, but with their 20k feedback, I thought I would check here.

    Debating on whether or not on taking another shot at ordering another one from a different seller after getting burned on this one.

    How much was henanren_34 selling the MP-28 for (grand total shipped)?
    Was it the KO or official?
