The different email is one is for people who paid and one for people who haven't?

Or give me my 2 light bars and learn from your mistakes plus to ebay rules it's tough luck. I've paid now gimme
With you on that Macca. They fit nicely across a troll. Is funny though how they were hacked and only the 1 item was discounted.Quote:

Wasn't happy but could understand that it would suck a55 to be on the receiving end even if it was just a typo (i'm not buying the hacked story).
But then I started having a read of the Seller performance standards on the ebay's website.
"When a buyer wins an item on eBay, the seller and buyer have entered a contract that both members are expected to honour. A seller's obligations are formal – such as sending the item that was described in the listing – as well as informal – such as providing good service." http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/polici...rformance.html
I agree with old mate above, we write the one letter and those of us who have already paid for our light bars send it to him, by all accounts he's obligated to send the bars.
Those of us that haven't already paid, maybe out of luck on this one as no money has changed hands.
whos keen?
Had you paid for yours?Quote:

Hello,
Thank you so much for your quick reply.
Yes,we could send the proof email from ebay to you,but as we are Chinese Seller,the email was sent from Hongkong ebay in Chinese,would you also need it? We are really sorry,as we originally set to sell at AUD 222.99 for a few lights in stock in Australia, but someone hacked in to change the price,also the quanity,which we did not intend to do so.
Or how about this,we make a full refund to you,meanwhile send AUD 15 as compensation to your account to express our sincere apologies,would this work?
Sorry again for all the trouble and waiting for your reply
Best regards
Sheet no. I want my bar. lolQuote:

Mighty dedicated them coming in on a weekend though.
I've told them to get eBay to send me a direct email about the alleged hacking
Go hard my bent little friend
Well just don't accept any eBay looking email with Chinese gibberish on it. It could say anything!
feel free to copy and paste into your ebay
Hi Carcamworld2012
No, sorry a refund will no be suitable.
Your ebay password is your responsibility and yours alone. If my account was hacked and the hacker purchased hundreds of your most expensive items you would be expecting payment wouldn't you, so why should it be different for me?
I understand you would not want to receive any extra negative feedback and that is not my intention. Negative feedback can be avoided by you the seller abiding by the seller performance standards in Ebay's policies, which state that when a buyer wins an item on eBay, the seller and buyer have entered a contract that both members are expected to honor.
As money has already been paid into your paypal account for the above listing I have honored my part of the contract and I expect your store to do the same. I will be expecting the item to be posted 1-2 day after payment verification as per your original listing.
Please note that if you fail to meet the minimum performance standards, your search placement is likely to be lowered, there maybe limits applied to your selling activity or you may be restricted from selling items on Ebay altogether.
I look forward to seeing this items status being updated as posted.
Regards,
Also if they come with birdflu or sars or something, totally not my fault.
Nice. Lets see how things go. Can see it is not only us, but many others too. You gotta love fleabay..
I don't really want to mount a 52" bar anyway, I thought I'd get something more in the 30's
But as they say, arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud, after a while you realize the pig likes it.
My reply
Sorry no compensation will be accepted as when I paid for this product we entered a binding contract, as I said earlier I expect to be notified of the product being posted on Tuesday.
Furthermore I understand you would not want to receive any negative feedback and that is not my intention. Negative feedback can be avoided by you the seller abiding by the seller performance standards in Ebay's policies, which state that when a buyer wins an item on eBay, the seller and buyer have entered a contract that both members are expected to honor.
Failing to receive confirmation of the item being posted by the end of Tuesday will result in a negative review and a formal complaint to ebay, also forwarding all communications between us including your claim that they notified you of your supposed hacking and took no further action.
I wonder how many are giving up and taking the $
f**k me i hate chain mail
got the same wank of an email back saying some rubbish about a chinesese email with too many hard to pronounce r's or some rubbish and he could give me a nice shiny $15 dollarr coin as compensation.
haha never had this much fun at midnight on ebay before!
This is what i sent.
Dear carcamworld2012,
Hi there,
That is unfortunate as you say if your account has been hacked. Please forward the correspondence from eBay Australia that confirmed that the account had been hacked and advise me also why Ebay, upon becoming aware that the account had been hacked did not restrict or remove the listing immediately? If your Credit Card got stolen the bank would immediately restrict its use.
My understanding is that we have entered a contract for Sale and supply of the item as per the rules of ebay. I have paid in good faith the full amount of your "Buy Now" plus the stipulated postage amount and i am clear that your obligation is to provide the item as per the listing. You note also that the item is located in Sydney and the delivery time is 2 to 7 days.
Please forward the despatch advice once the item is posted.
Kind Regards
I think that we all should write different emails but use the same basic points. I am a little concerned even about this thread. Id hate to jeopardise our chances if the seller can present a conspiracy theory to eBay and have us all bumped.??? Or Not?
I felt a little sorry for the seller if it was some Aussie Bloke trying to make a living on eBay but i think its a larger Chinese company and they can give a little back ;)
This is the latest
Hello,
Thank you again for quick reply.
We do want to ship the light to you as this price,which as a serious seller should do so. But actually we only have few light in stock,which someone hacked in,changing the price and also the quantity. It has been sold out very quickly at this price.Which we did not expect this situation happened.
Sincerely hope you could kindly understand our situation.and how about this,we make a full refund to you,and send AUD 20 as compensation,meanwhile,we would offer you 8% discount off for next purchase.
We really would love to resolve this problem with you,and understand your feeling about it.but please accept our apologies.
Sorry again for all the trouble and waiting for your reply
Best regards
Yeah, I think we're safe talking about it on here, i'm still standing by the contract between the buyer and the seller, nissanpatrol.com.au has nothing to do with it, but I see the concurn. For that matter I have no idea what ebay hongkong has to do with it either.
I felt a little bad too, but then i thought if someone hacked my ebay and bought a heap of sh1t, they'd all expect me to pay, and if i didn't they'd all call me a cee-you-n-t i'm sure. so bugger em.
I see on his store he has "Regular 35% of sales", so must have a bit of fat on some gear, so worth while seeing how far we get i'd say.
SH!T, mega's one email ahead of me, gotta catch up! ahhaa
They said already that they have communications in Chinese .. So it's not a little Aussie bloke getting screwed . Don't give up this will be pocket $ for themQuote:

We'll as I had 2 transactions win them and ebay does give them the right to with draw the sale after it has been bought via the ebay resolution which can take a month.. I just received my refund through PayPal and 30 dollars us( 15 for both transactions.... Could have held out for more but 30 us for doing nothing is cool)...
Pretty good service to be honest..

A happy customer...sort of.
How could it be related though .. I can't see how there could be a link I've not gotten any email warningsQuote:

So just doing some back checking and World Clock checking and it appears that this happened about 3 hours before i purchased the item so a coincidence.Quote:
