Hello all. A bad seller sent me various Ãtems broken; for sure it didn't happen during shipping. EBay gave me my money back. I left negative feedback and he replyed not only with lies but also saying I am a thief, and he dared to post my name and address. He dirts my name and I am trying to find out if he did the same on this forum. I thought I was doing a search , and by mistake I made a post :S Is there a way to find out if he wrote a post with my name on this forum? Is there a way to delete the post I wrote few minutes ago?

The very first time eBay assistant suggested me to leave the feedbacks to let other buyers know, I thought that same: that eBay and/or sellers may see me as a problematic person, and that it could also affect my account; now I see I was right ðŸ˜ž They said that I was not going to be see that way, that if I did so I will help other buyers warning what could happen to them .

All the feedbacks I left, are the truth, the positive and the negative ones. The seller who cancelled my orders before my limit payment date argued the cancellation as non-payment and he put a strike on my account, wich eBay inmediately removed (again, they are not fools, they read the messagges).

The response to my negative feedback from the seller who tried to scam me worried me, in case anyone would believe him. I wrote to a seller I made friendship here on eBay, I sent her photos of the damaged cars and screenshots of my messagges with the dishonest seller. She gave me wise advices and Made me SEE something very important: this man is surely a bitter and unhappy person, and the most important: no intelligent person (eBay sellers, someone from my country, etc) would believe his lies, those shows a lot of him and those are not consistente with what I wrote in the feedback.

Community rules do not allow "naming and shaming", so even if a seller did post your name somewhere on the community forums, it would be removed.

I see that you have had several problems with sellers and that you use a freight forwarder for sending items to your country. Be aware that a freight forwarder is acting as your agent, and the seller is only responsible for the first delivery location to your agent in Florida. Any damage thereafter can not necessarily be attributed to the seller because of the shipper in the middle. So a claim may not work out for you.

I also see that one seller has added comments to your negative feedback that includes the shipping address of your agent. You can ask eBay to remove that information, since it is not allowed.

Hello, ShipScript. Thank you for your reply. I have already asked eBay and they suggested to ask him to remove it or retract of it, and/or I may take a strong measure (wich I do not want to take nor I will).

"I see that you have had several problems with sellers"
In fact, I have not had "several" problems with sellers; I have had "some". EBay agent suggested me to leave the feedbacks to warn other buyers.

I opened my account about 15 years ago. I was studying in USA, I bought books and some other things; I hadn't any problem then. Some years ago I supposed to bought a branded, Large, tshirt, and I received a cheap, XL, imitation.

With my recent purchases I have had half and a half experiences: a seller who cancelled my winnings without a messagge from him and even if my limit payment date wasn't arrive. I had won several items from him and I wanted to take advantage of his combined shipping discount, he had one last item I wanted to bid on (he knew it because I sent a messagge). That was not the first time he did that, I read a negative feedback saying the same. After him, I had two very good experiences. After those, I unfortunately stumbled upon a scam seller who sent me a car with the seats horribly glued, one of them detached; another one with its acrilyc case broken, and the worst of all: a car listed as NIB with a large screw going through it (I asked about the condition of all the cars I was interested in, and he said: all of them are in mint condition), the exhaust pipe broken, and other issues. The basis plaque of that car was removed, and the screws of the plaque were put again, that is why those screws where there. The car was not new, because it also various other issues, like windshield scratches. I guess he just take advantage of knowing I was going to use a third party to have the Ãtems in my country by a third party, I told him. I wrote him to ask for a discount, but he said those were insignificant damages taking in consideraciÃ³n the great shipping discount he did to me; and in fact, he paid less of what I paid to him (now I know it because USPS has a calculator ) .None of those damages can occur during shipping, as he sarcastically said that he was not responsible for damages ocurred during shipping. My case is not the first of its kind with that seller. He packs with a few sheets of newspaper. I read another negative feedback of someone who thought USPS broke the item that surely was send broken. EBay gave me back my money, even if I used a third party to bring my items (I told them since the beginning), and even if I told them that I just wanted a discount; I guess they gave me the total of my money because of the damages and, I suppose, because of his bad attitude. After him I went across a boy's listing, who became angry because the price I won his items, but that wasn't my fault, I bet more but no one else bet and his basis were very low. One month before those purchases I asked him about combined shipping (on larger cars), he said no so I didn't bet. Then I asked again because the cars I was interested in were very small, he said yes so I bet. Because of the winning price, he didn't want to give me the discount on combined shipping . EBay gave me a $5 coupon discount to use in a future buying because of that. He offered $25 if I won the two items. I paid him $30; he paid les than $9. Again, eBay suggested me that I should warn other buyers. I didn't feel good of doing that, because of the low price I won the items, but the seller himself asked me more than one time to leave him a feedback, besides one of the cars had rust and discolorations and he said both of them were in mint condition. After him, God rewarded me with the best seller on eBay. This very last seller is not only a great seller (honest, careful on packaging, replying messagges, considerate person, etc.) but he also is an awesome human being.

Any of my bad experiences had been my fault, nor the third party shipper. EBay had protected me in all the cases mentioned before. They are not fools, so the problem is not me. Like everywhere, eBay also has scammers and dishonest sellers.

"and that you use a freight forwarder for sending items to your country. Be aware that a freight forwarder is acting as your agent, and the seller is only responsible for the first delivery location to your agent in Florida. Any damage thereafter can not necessarily be attributed to the seller because of the shipper in the middle. So a claim may not work out for you."
Yes , thank you, I AM and I was already aware. And because of that and my bad experiences, I will not buy on eBay anymore. EBay international shipping cost is exorbitantly expensive. And I don't want to take the risk Bad experiences happen to me again. I just will finish my buyings with the seller eBay has, and I will be done.

"I also see that one seller has added comments to your negative feedback that includes the shipping address of your agent. You can ask eBay to remove that information, since it is not allowed."

Thank you. I already wrote the seller, as eBay agent told me. I will wait some days.

I was seeking any comments in this community because I wanted to know if he dared to do the same on this forum.
