    Yilaixtoys (On Ebay) sent my MP 28 KO and it got to me in about 20 days. Packaged in the Styrofoam box and sealed box as requested. He had some of the lowest prices I've seen on KOs and 20 days for shipping is very fair. I'm happy and so far, so good! :D 

    Also I got my Ratbat and Rumble from caotianxi so that's 2/2 in the last couple of months. Good sellers!

    That's good to know, I appreciate the info.
    awww man, you minifig is much cooler than mines...lol


    Yeah hopefully, because these scammers are the worst. I felt confident in buying from Miffy but damn, almost 2 weeks now and nothing. I wonder what's going on with my orders


    I have no idea, this is the first time this has happened to me.


    That sucks man, I know in some cases of packages getting delivered and some random stranger swiping them off the porch. Were you home on the day it was delivered? I would recommend you get this app called SHOP, I use it a lot myself. You put your tracking info and it'll give you real time of when your packages are scanned. Theres been times when I don't even get a doorbell ring, mail man just leaves my packages on the doorstep and if it wasn't for that app who knows how long it would be just be sit outside for anyone to snatch up. You should still contact Ebay/Paypal and see what they say but try and check with your local post office as well. Good luck, hope you get your item.

    Re: Miffy, I took a look at their feedback and yea, it’s not pretty. A bunch of recent bad feedback, and 2 people who bought the same item as me reported that their item was shipped to the wrong address. Definitely smells bad....

    I'm beginning to think this might happen to me. Has anyone ordered here and received a Dunerider from this miffy21584?

    miffy21584 got me MP-21 Bumble and MP-11SW Skywarp a couple months ago. Ordered June 26 and delivered July 16 via Speedpak. No complaints. But those last 5 negatives don't look good on his review.

    Yea, looking at his feedback, it seems he doesn't have any problem fulfilling the regular KO stuff that most ebay sellers have. The trouble starts with Fanstoys stuff and higher priced stuff.....

    I ordered FansToys Dunerider from miffy21584 on August 15. "Delivered" today. Got nothing.

    Based on recent Feedback and my buying history (I've never had a package "delivered" that didn't show up; tracking shows the package going to 92103 and I live in 92117), I bet miffy21584 is BAD and a SCAM.

    DO NOT BUY from this Seller.

    Seller should be taken off the first page "Good" List.

    I had to go and look back at his feedback, looks like he's scamming. Definitely contact Ebay and tell them what happened. Since I was never given a tracking number Ebay told me I can file a claim in the next couple of weeks instead of having to wait till after the estimated time of delivery which is all the way in November SMH. It's crazy that I had to ask to speak to a supervisor to be given that information. Idiot customer service rep was telling me I had to wait till November. In your case, you should speak to a supervisor also because a lot of times the regular customer service aren't going to really help you in situations like this. I had another seller scam me 2 weeks ago for $500. I was given bogus tracking numbers but the tracking numbers didn't show anything was shipped out. The tracking was made up numbers. Customer service told me I had to wait till the estimated time of arrival to make a claim despite the tracking not showing that the package was scanned to be shipped out and the seller not responding to my numerous messages. A month had already passed since I bought this stuff, I told them I'm not waiting that long and asked to speak to a supervisor. That person seen some fraudulent things going on with that sellers account and escalated my claims. I got my money back 5 days later.

    Nice! Was this over the phone? Can you PM me the phone number for eBay?


    This whole scam thing was kind of fortunate actually. Assuming I’ll get my money back, I actually just repurchased dunerider from showz for 30$ cheaper Haha

    No, I haven't been able to reach them by phone since all this Corona stuff happened. What you should do is click all the way at the top left of the My Ebay screen where it says "Help & Contact" and scroll down to the end where you'll see "Need More Help"? and click on the Contact Us button. Then click on "Buying" and then click on "Get help for a item that hasn't arrived"...

    Scroll down to the bottom left where it says "Chat with a automated assistant", click that and a little pop up box will show. Type in AGENT so you can by pass the automated crap and speak to a customer service rep. A box will show asking what your issue is and you just type out your situation and then hit "continue" underneath. It'll tell you how long the wait time will be before a agent will be able to speak to you, takes anywhere from 1-10 mins usually for someone to respond.

    At least that worked out in you getting him cheaper..lol

    It looks like two other people seem to think clevertiger16 is another shop of one of the "good sellers". See below. I remember seeing all these names bunched together a while back. Don't know why the "Search this thread" didn't work for me.

    I've not personally used clevertiger16, but have made two purchases from wolvesbabies this year. Wolvesbabies was very slow to get the package in the mail each time (in stock must not mean in stock), but after that the packages all showed up well packed. Used YANWEN for shipping.

    How slow was he? I actually just made a purchase with Wolvesbabies, my first purchase from him after randomly finding him on Ebay. Picked up DX9 Kukinski from him on the 22nd of August and he shipped it out on the 24th. I just got it delivered today, took exactly 2 weeks to show up. His listing said it was in hand.

    It looks like the last package wasn't too bad. Ordered a pair of KBB Seekers on June 20, got the notice on June 24, and the tracking info quit on July 4. That 17Track website (just learned about it two days ago) says I got the package on July 27, so just over a month total. Two weeks stuck in LA customs and then it appears to have bounced back and forth between Ohio and Kentucky for a couple weeks. Not wolvesbabies problem about all that although I was getting nervous.

    My first package from wolvesbabies did take about 2 weeks to get a tracking number. Since it was only my second China e-Bay purchase it will forever associate "in hand" with "not really in hand" whenever I deal with wolvesbabies.

    I was home so don't think it was swiped. Still not sure what happened but couldn't check local post office because the speedpak/orange connect tracking is not valid on usps.

    I opened eBay claim and it said to wait 3 days for seller response but seller is not even registered anymore, so I did ebay chat with agent as you suggested and the agent did the refund for me so thanks for the tip.

    when you have a orangeconnex number,wait till tracking say "Arrived at Destination Hub"..send them an email with your tracking number and ask for the one need in your location(me was canada post) and 1 day later they reply with the good tracking number that work with usps - canada post tracking number.
