watch out for this guy on ebay 427BLUEYENKO

[Jonesy]

This guy has used a couple of different names on ebay and has his account suspended. I have bid on his auctions before and found them being bid up by some of the same ebay user ID's with zero feedback.

He used to be ecdubcars and blackyenko, both accounts were suspended by ebay. All of his auctions back then used the same wording and search words and he was from So Cal. This was about 6 months ago. The day his account closed he started up a new account under a new name.

Treat your customers like you would want to be treated. Keeping buyers happy goes a long ways. I am not a member of ebay but if I were selling something, I would likely have the item ready for shipment when I placed the add. When the check was received and cleared, I would address the box and ship it. No big deal???? Just an opinion so don't start flame throwing.

you SHOULD be an Ebay seller, you've got theory of customer service down pretty well !!

I have had to wait and I've been ripped off, and eventually refunded. I've driven all day to find a guy try and hide a rusted out trunk floor under a car cover !! (he is lucky to have walked away!!) It is a crap shoot especially if a seller is a crook and can now sign up with a different name.
I wont throw big money at ebay any more.

This may be a little off subject but I think it should be said. I sell quite few parts on Ebay. I do not like to box up the item until after the auction has ended. This is because there are usually questions about each item. Whether it be more pictures or an intricate detail I had no idea to look for; I need the item in my hands to answer the question. After the auctions end (I list in batches so they all end at the same time), I invoice all buyers. Over the next couple days I package items up so they are ready to ship when payment arrives. Many people pay within seconds of receiving the invoice, which is usually within an hour of auction end. I usually send out the first batch of packages 2 days after auction end. This allows enough buyers a chance to pay that I have a load to take to the different shipping companies. More often than not I receive emails or feedback from the buyers about the speedy shipping time. However, I have received negative feedback from a buyer for shipping an item off 2 days after auction end! I even shipped the item a faster method than he/she asked for. Both sides have to be reasonable for the system to work. Some buyers demand shipment of an item the day after payment but wait 10 days to pay by PayPal. That is not reasonable in my opinion. Waiting a week to get back to the buyer of a manifold is also not reasonable. I am glad to hear the guy got back to you. When you place and item on Ebay you commit to a responsibility. If you cannot fulfill that responsibility you should not be selling. In fact, you also should not be bidding if you do not intend to pay or plan on demanding unattainable goals.

I know the first time that I bought something off of ebay (I have 4 total purchases-2 by/for my wife ) I wanted instant gratification...kind of like buying at a store!

Thank god I had very patient ebay sellers...who explained how things went (I let them know up front that I was new at this whole ebay deal).

I got all my purchases in a very reasonable amount of time...but there was still the underlying fear that the items wouldn't come (not that I spent a lot of money on the items either!).

That's my 2 and a half cents...now I'll fade back into the woodwork...

A lot of you make good points and many are positive. However, sellers are very quick to demand how fast you must send them a down payment or full payment yet it does not seem to be a two way street. Also and in a lot of cases, it likely takes more time to place the add in the first place then it does to sit down, box it up and ship it and certainly a lot less time then it takes to run to the bank and deposit their check. Lets be realistic, how much time for most items can it take? In todays modern world, there is really very few excuses for NOT answering a phone message or e-mail. There are plenty of times that a quick cell call can me made.

The only point I am trying to make is that to some degree it is still a business and we are still their customers. Treat your customers like you would want to be treated. Keeping buyers happy goes a long ways. I am not a member of ebay but if I were selling something, I would likely have the item ready for shipment when I placed the add. When the check was received and cleared, I would address the box and ship it. No big deal???? Just an opinion so don't start flame throwing.

ss427 makes a good point, you win the bid you have so many days to respond with payment and the communication with the seller and his response time should be the same.so its now 2 weeks no manifold no refund even though he said he will mail it back, probably in another 2 weeks.

I'm going on 8 weeks waiting for a distributor I won. Hopefully I'll see it soon. I can't believe people go on vacation when they have stuff listed on Ebay!

Chris,
Generalizations can always cause problems. No offense meant. I have a neighbor guy buddy who moved here from LI and I always have to grit my teeth when he's here to help with something. Too much rush for me. I figure it'll get done and maybe better if we can just SLOW down a tad and be careful.
I'm not a hard guy, I'm just relating my experiences... and I admit, I'm a little anal and spend as much time thinking about how to do it as I do to actually do it!

No offense taken, I made sure I inserted multiple "happy faces" to be clear I was kidding. I lived in the south for about three years and Boston, MA for one. They are either driving too slow or not using the signals. I think NY or NJ is the perfect speed for me. And I do appreciate you using your turn signals before you cut me off.
