    I bought five Yes Model Decepticon jets from them last month. They arrived in the UK in just over two weeks. I had to pay £8 customs charge, which is fair enough given the size of the box. They'd put the alleged value as about £50 rather than the much larger true amount. I was certainly happy with them.

    Looking even better! I'd expect around a two week wait from China, though I have received stuff quicker... but I think that seller turned rogue later :rolleyes:

    Had a Infinite Transformation Megatron finally hit UK shores today. Took just over a month which isn't bad I guess. It's at a sorting hub so should get it within a few days.

    That's the Megs I've got, it's very nice! :cool: 

    Seems like I may be safe to order the Jinbao Constructicons then :D 

    But don't forget to update when Megs arrives, just so I know you haven't got beads instead ;)

    Ordered a fair bit from them in the past, no issues whatsoever. Currently watching a Fans Toys ‘Goose’ of theirs, as it seems to be the best price on eBay at the moment. However, got scammed on a ‘Maverick’ and can’t find another for a decent price, so might not bother now.

    My kbb skywarp came with tracking which worked up till delivery but it's still showing in transit to be delivered on the 20th of nov despite being delivered one area of note is that they use hermes when it gets to this side so if you are dead against myhermes then it's something u might consider.
    In fact i have the history which i was just checking purchased on the 8th sent out on the 11th i think i recieved it around the 19th or the 20th of octoberh

    Paypal have finally open a case on chao7623 on eBay.

    Have to say, Paypal have really let me down a little this time around, it has took me 4 phone calls for them to open a case on him (The first 3 phone calls said they would open it right away, but didn't). I don't expect a refund right away, but I never expected it would take 4 phone calls for them to open a case on him, when just looking at his feedback its clear as day he is rouge. Paypal normally as always been good to me, but they have been little poor this time around.

    Not happy.

    I got the Jinbao Oversized Constructions.
    Two of the three boxes were a little rough otherwise good transaction.

    Ordered a FansToys DinoBot last month from one*day_bid... it arrived in about 30 days from China to US via epacket/ChinaPost. Legit seller, not a scammer... BUT:

    The bot was listed as brand-new, mint in sealed factory box... what I received was clearly a used bot. No factory FT seals on the box, dead-bugs sitting in the styrofoam inside the box, discolored styrofoam that looked to be from water damaged, figure was OK, not new. And I could see adhesive residue from where a repro-label had been removed prior to one*day_bid shipping it out to me.

    So at best I'd give this seller a C- grade. Item was not as described and was not brand-new, mint, un-opened, in a factory sealed box. So if you really need to something to complete a set, proceed with forethought. The item will most likely be used. Other buyer's have also reported receiving old, used bots despite the listing from one*day_bid stating new, mint in sealed factory box, un-opened. Posted earlier in this thread. Liar at best.

    Me neither. No contact. Just waiting on my PP claim to be closed and for my refund. Complete scam-alamma-ding-dong. Ebay should ban the account. And not even so much as an offer of a refund direct from Ebay when they clearly can see it was a scam or hacked account. Poor service and zero feeling of protection from Ebay when things hit the sh!tter.

    Now you tell me! :rolleyes: 

    Never mind, not as described can get reported just as easily as anything else :D

    I read the previous feedback in this thread and ordered anyway hoping for the best... but as with most things, wound up disappointed. But I'm closer to completing my set. At least you'll get a bot... not a small piece of Lego or something. I doubt I'll ever buy from one*day_bid again though. If you complain, IIRC he'll offer a partial refund.

    That seller wasn't hacked. If they were hacked then why not message us or respond to the PayPal claims?!
    I didn't receive anything from eBay all. No message or warning. No offer of starting a refund.
    I went straight to PayPal and filed the claim over the phone.

    Bingo. I agree. I did the same exact thing. I called PP... and even then the PP rep was less than helpful. Even showed them the Ebay official message regarding the seller's account being hacked. She was like... well are you sure you don't want to wait for the quoted delivery date... even when the USPS tracking shows it hasn't moved in 2 weeks and shows an incorrect undeliverable address? PP sucks-@$$ too in these sort of claims too imhe. We'll get our money back, but a lots of wasted time, energy, and effort. No more Asian/Chinese sellers for me. Maybe bababobo... but that's it.

    I was convinced that there were previous comments about them, but when I searched the thread nothing came up!

    Even a used set of bots is better than a small empty jiffy packet I once received :p 
    And a used set of bots (as long as they're not damaged of course) with a partial refund would do for me :D

    I've stayed clear for a while, just buying used Trannies from UK sellers on ebay, but nobody is offloading the Jinbao Devvy so I had to go for a Chinese :rolleyes:

    Buying ‘used trannies’ sounds like you’re gonna need a LOT of antibiotics!
