    Of the two last incorrect transactions. One of them was an issue with the item sent and he answered that it will be "fixed". The other is the item not being send at all, let's just wait before we make a conclusion, this has happened before not only with him but with the rest of the chinese sellers.

    Soo... bit of an issue worth being paranoid about, looking through liujunling87_5's current item listings is a long list of almost every item marked down anywhere from 10-35% off the already marked below average prices. The single feedback isn't concerning, but these significant price drops is very concerning to me at the moment. Caution is advised.

    *Groan* I literally just bought Unique Toys Challenger from this seller after getting La Hire from him with no problem.....

    I bought it on the 7th, and have yet to get a shipped notice. How much longer should I wait?

    And to be fair, the 7th WAS a holiday in China

    Ain't China one of those regions who take extra long holidays?

    That's a shame. La Hire is an excellent figure. I'm trying to file a PayPal claim but I keep getting an error.

    Depends on the holiday I think...

    I'm not sure what's up but everyone keep an eye out on what you buy. I am seeing a BUNCH of accounts dropping prices to suspicious levels. Like some are around 10 or 20$ below what seems to be the market norm.

    Or maybe I am missing something that someone can fill me in that is going on that would cause the sudden drop in prices? I can't think of anything specific with the holiday week ending over a week ago. I can only think of maybe the HK protests are causing some flack?

    Aaaaand Loudpedal actually arrived too! Day366 is still a good guy!

    About bloody time too, since it's my 4th attempt to buy Loudpedal on eBay! First one had it listed but was sold out - that was Jiangyaoming2018 btw, who is still very much a good guy! - and the 2nd and 3rd scammed me.

    I've ordered from him, he is responding to messages, but I've had no shipping update since a shipping number was generated, but doesn't actually register as a valid number. The purchase was on the 28th september

    I just filed a claim on him/her as well. Had to do it the hard way and actually call customer support because the site was being wonky...

    Ebay:
    Anybody know how to check tracking to see if it's an actual item and not just a phony number? I bought from xialeyulo9 on eBay when he still had 100% positive feedback on September 28 and got a tracking number which seems "stuck" on clearing customs. I've had that happen before legitimately and I paid through Paypal so I'm still waiting for what is probably my pack of stickers, but if anyone has any insight on the process of checking tracking, I'd appreciate it.

    I just bought from him last month and received my item without issue, but if he hasn't gone rogue yet, it's certainly looking like it's likely soon, if not by his own intentions. then by a bogus middleman/forwarder. I'd recommend contacting Paypal now and opening a case and keep it open until there is some progress in the shipping, or if not, so you aren't stuck waiting to get your money back.
