    Almost 9000 + feedback 105 negatives pretty awful ones too! Want to buy his costly item I love but ?

    What he has I want to buy but cost of item is almost $175. and up.

    Think it’s too much risk.

    Others selling some of same similar big shot item but their feedback lousy too!

    Don’t mind me trying to figure out what to do!

    Fools rush in where wise folks fail to go

     

    How about doing a simple coin flip to selltle the matter.

     

    Are you feeling lucky today ?

    Thank you 🙏 everyone for trying to help me figure out what to do!

    To buy item I love for $175. Or not to buy item $175. That is the question…

    You know I figured out what to do!

    (Feel like a genius what I came up with!)

     I sent the seller a nice real question about his item and thought I’d just like to see his response.

    You know what?  

    Nada, nothing, no answer…ignored…

    Saved myself anxiety if I paid him $175.+ with his appalling feedback I would be worried!

    Thank you all again…

    Nikki

    Unless this is something that you desperately need, why even consider it?

    The reason those sellers have so many negs is that their buyers are too dumb to use the MBG and get a refund.

    With a settled dispute, no FB can be laid.

    Something to consider.

     

    Those FB made no difference to the seller's account.

    And apparently most buyers don't care that he has 98-99% positive ratings -- that's still an A+ right?

    Sadly I don't trust Amazon for cosmetics anymore. I've gotten too many counterfeits there.

    Personally I would never buy something as widely counterfeited as perfume on eBay, from any seller. Go to a department store and buy one at the perfume counter there.

     

    I hope you know your sister likes Chanel. I wouldn't want a pristine new bottle of Chanel because I have a strange body chemistry and it smells like a wet dog on me. Perfume is a very personal thing.

    What if you receive the wrong item...have to return it...your $175.00 will be returned maybe in a few months?

    What if item doesn't work or is chipped or is fake or not as described? Too many ifs out there.

    Sure, one can get a refund...but you will have to do so work to get it eventually.

    Yes the sellers of these products are big shot sellers.

    Negatives on several of these sellers are for pretty awful things like 1) not new said new but isn’t, 

    2) no box said sold with new box, 3) poorly wrapped arrived broken, 4) no email answer,

    5) no refund.

     

    ok what I want to buy myself is a new bottle of Chanel perfume sealed unopened new in the box…

    + maybe a 2nd bottle to give away to my sister as a birthday gift.
    I think most women would want a pristine new bottle of Chanel perfume.

    Isn't there a Bloomingdale's or Macy's nearby?  Or even online?

     

    If I was giving it as a gift, I'd probably want to make sure it was new.

    Thank you krazzykats,

    The bottle for myself is of Chanel Allure Sensuelle, a rarer fragrance not readily available. 3.4 mil.,

    maybe even now being discontinued?

    The bottle for my sister is of Chanel #5 again 3.4 mil size bottle.  Both about $175.

    I think most women would want a pristine new bottle of Chanel perfume.  

     

    I think that buying a designer fragrance is a risky purchase on Ebay, just as it is a risky purchase from a third party seller on Amazon or Walmart.

     

    It is a risky purchase from anyone but a major retailer.

     

    The people who buy from them, are likely to include a substantial number who cannot tell real from fake. So they might have fakes and never left negative FB or filed an MBG claim.

    Depends on what the negs are for.    Some buyers do leave nasty feedback for no good reason.

     

    Is the seller not telling the truth about the items fox example gold plate when the listing said gold.

     

    Things like had more wear than described or was chipped would be less of an issue if it's an item I want and don't see often.

     

    105 out of 9000 does not seem all that bad.  Again it depends on what they are for.

    If they show 100 negs, they have probably had several hundred that have been removed automagically.

    This is a thinker if you ask me.  What did a lot of the negatives state? Are they located in the US? If  you're unsure about the purchase,  I would trust my gut. Like others have pointed out, you do have the 30 day MBG.  

     

    Hope you're staying warm there in NYC.  Can't wait for spring!

    Assuming the lousy feedback is not in the lines of

    Fake! 

    Way Smaller than stated!! etc etc

     

    Then take it with a grain of salt- there are ALOT of 'entitled' people in this world with expectations that are BEYOND reasonable.

    You snooze, you lose.  But if it turns out to be what you really want, now there's a keeper.  MBG

     

    So, how bad do you want it?
