    That would suck if he went bad. He was my go to guy. I have spent well over a $1000 from him.

    I hope they're legit; their shipping prices on all TF items makes RobotKingdom look bargain priced!

    The fact they are charging for shipping is curious to me though. Either way we will have to see.

    Seems my seller despite getting me a tracking number hasn't heard from his supplier since the purchase. Meh, if only I was ballsy enough to just buy the dang thing off of taobao directly.

    I'm taking this as supporting proof of my ongoing (conspiracy?) theory that the suppliers are more to blame for random Ebay scamming than just sellers going rogue for quick profit.

    Day 3

    Baowen99 package on the move across China, meanwhile baba (or indeed a showz order placed at the same time) have yet to provide tracking or confirm dispatch.
    Guessing this is due to a busy weekend...

    some take longer than others to ship stuff out, i know my showz spoiler did and both my items from one day bid took a while, i guess it's part of the course when dealing with bigger established sellers over smaller guys, as long as it gets here and the item is what i brought i can wait those extra few days it's worth it not to have my money tied up for a month dealing with the hassle of getting refunds

    I would say they are rogue. 250/350+ reviews are in the last 6 months on a 6 year old account, and most are from 1 star buys and the reviews are copy-pasta. Everything listed is cheapest on ebay by quite a bit, and finally, he has items that are out of stock everywhere (gigapower hq03R) at 60$ cheaper than anyone else, and they some how have 30+ for sale?

    I would be very surprised if they werent rogue.

    This is a red flag, price and that it isn't available yet.
    It is a fire sale? Everything is suddenly on discount; including stuff that isn't even out yet.

    New DX9 D14 ATTILA D14 Transformer Robot Menasor Motormaster Capone Action Figur | eBay

    Was eye balling that FT-20A and B, but after looking at stuff like the DX9 Menasor, I can't go through with it.
    Thinking rouge and sold the account.

    Yes they did.

    Bear in mind that don’t mean much. I’ve had a rogue send me tracking info before.

    Just to bump and update the OP:

    > maucat_2 (In November 2019 changed name to azjedb8)

    This seller has now been closed and marked as a fraud account, can be moved from the approved list.

    Ordered on November 18, Planet X Asclepius from shwi790 on eBay, hasn't had an update since November 25.

    "2019-11-25 04:55 Beijing, Beijing Exchange Station Return"

    I messeged him on on 12/2 and he wrote back the same day and said he will check with the post office and get back to me... have not heard back, no updates on 17track.net. o_O 

    Also ordered Takara Legends LG-60 Overlord for 39.99 shipped on November 18 from wangs2-19 on eBay , and it is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, December 6.

    Both on good sellers list (for now).

    Interested to see how this plays out. I can't decide if I want to give this seller a try or not.
