Ebaybanned to stop retail?

    Hi all buyer,

    Today is the first year anniversary of EBaybanned, I am really appropriate all buyers and who make allowances for our mistake. Last year, we grow up from month to month, from a part time ebay seller to a company got monthly sale volume over USD300,000. We offer a special channel for your chinese AEG product need, we never cheat you money by dishonest shipping cost, we only sell product as same as my photo.

    As all you see, recently we are sole agent for many products. My volume let me have power to deal with individual producer. BUT my dealers also start to complain: i should change to different role to contribute the field. I SHOULD STOP THE RETAIL. But, my mainly consideration is, how much the final user can save?

    For example : SLS Tactical Holster 6004 fit 1911, my retail price is USD77.3 shipped. On the other hand, i can offer USD34 for my reseller. I believe reasonable reseller can offer the final buyer at USD65-69. End up over 10% can be saved. ( Do not forget, my USD77.3 is very low already)

    All my friend, come with the revolutionary change, tell your nearest shop EB airsoft is here, tell him there is chance to earn money ! Friend, you can keep to enjoy EB price with ''hand touch feeling'' on shipping. Help me to contact your friendly local shop ! Thanks

    P.S We will stop the retail sections at least 1 week, all buyer paid before 12 Aug will be shipped still. I should say sorry again since we move warehouse last week and make some late on your package .

    regards

    Paul

    well you can get really all these item from other sellers with better service (i know other have not had a a bad experiance with ebaybanned but i;ve just had bad order followed by bad order)

    yes some of the items where a lot cheaper but he normaly only stock small numbers of these or they never even turned up ( example is the flip mount)

    i know, such contrasts in service


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Masada


    yeah me too.,very happy with them, i cant see them really stopping the retail though, its hard to get exactly what he means from that horrible chinese-english translation too.,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,021 ✭✭✭Hivemind187


    Pfft! He was a spammer. I wont be crying.

    Yeah I'm hoping something has been lost in translation.

    ''hand touch feeling'' :pac: :pac: :pac: that could get him arrested

    What I get from that is that he's only going to deal with retailers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit

    Agreed. In fact, this is the best news I've heard all day. Good riddance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 954 ✭✭✭MacAonghusa


    I considered getting a few items off him a while back but compared the prices to ehobby asia's and there was very little difference. Plus buying from ehobby asia gives you some measure of protection.

    My mental picture of him has changed alot now......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭hoplite


    Agreed. In fact, this is the best news I've heard all day. Good riddance.

    Never had a problem with him I have to say and I've gotten loads of gear from him. I used to have a daily ritual of going to the site and seeing what new piece of gear was on offer and I'm going to miss that!

    The worst thing he could ever have done by the looks of things was spam pm people on boards.ie because its clear that he'll never be forgiven by some and thats fair enough.

    From my point of view it will not be good riddence but it is what it is and I'll have to look elsewhere for stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    cant say ive ever experienced the spam

    all i know is i got some great gear for ridic cheap prices and im gna miss it

    The goggles i bout from ebaybanned are by far the best ive ever used, hardly never fogged except once when i wore a helmet.

    Be a pity for everyone i think to miss out on the prices he had, and i only ever got good service.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Masada


    why someone would say its great news to see the end of one of the cheapest online retailers offering some of the best range of parts and gear baffles me.

    So you enjoy spending more money on the same stuff from elsewhere. ;)
    he aint perfect, but hes cheap....

    yeah i couldnt agree with you more,
    i can think of a word for people like that, begins with w and ends in kers.:D
    glad i got a lot of stuff for very cheap the other day, a top seller, im sad to see him go :(

    He is spammer. He refuses to remove me from his mailing list. After I complained and warned him to stop, I suddenly found my private email address on several mailing lists for porn/viagra etc. This is an email address that hadn't recieved a single spam email in 4 years. Only a few friends have it, but I made the mistake of registering on ebaybanned with it.

    He STILL sends me spam emails to this day.

    He is a p^&^k, and I don't care how cheap his store is, I'd be glad to see the back of him.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Masada


    wow, thats a strong opinion!

    cant say ive recieved anything other than airsoft related announcments, and even at that its just an email every now and then, the last was when the site subscription lapsed a few weeks back. infact, i get more spam irish retailers ive registered with than i do from ebaybanned.,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    I have to agree with vtec. I was worried about spam and created a new disposable hotmail account
    just to register and order from Paul.
    That account has not received any spam and i've placed tens of orders
    With him.
    The all in price inc shipping was great and I liked the fact you didn't have to fart about with ebay.
    I never had any missing orders and got proper replies to mails.

    I've had far worse experiences with irish retailers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    well i have used them, they do have some pieces that are relatively unique and if you were getting onesy or twoseys they could be good value but i would echo what puding said...if you were getting a big order it was not always cheaper or better to goto ebaybanned. of course thats just my experience, your mileage may differ...


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 14,320 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Master


    I've bought a few bits and pieces from him.
    Was always nice to see a final price including shiping.
    Shipping always took a long time but the cheap prices made up for that in my opinion.
    I recieved the original boards PM spam from him but nothing else

    there are 2 things quite annoying now...he has got (almost) the swing mount in and the helmet light....but of course he wont deliver now...bugger....

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding

    Had a look through a similar thread on arnies

    http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=150441&pid=1865284&mode=threaded&start=#entry1865284

    This poster claims that the closure for retail is only temporary.

    I also received the following email from Jesse its automated I believe.

    "thanks for your words, we don't accept payment now, we may restart the retail 7 days later if we can not make the agreement with such a big dealer, we must notice you if any update. sorry to bring you some inconvenience We will recover the retailed purchase about ten days later



    regards



    Jesse^_^"



    Also found a suspiciously similar site to Pauls I think its been around for a while I have seen it before. I may do a trial purchase to see how it goes. The website is crawling must be from all the ebaybanned users swamping it.

    I get the impression this was all just a promotional gimmick to get people talking about his business. There was never going to be any closing of his retail shop.

    I wonder how many threads where created on airsoft forums about this? He just got a ton of free advertising that mentions special offeres etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,478 ✭✭✭Chuck the Buck


    Hmmmm...... Me no happy all glorious Magpul parts are sold out!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    well they are consistent in one area, they are truly dire in delivery times...i am waiting 12 days for them to post something...now i know they moved, i know i know but with ebayb it seems there is always some reason other then themselves...jeasus the only excuse i have not heard is incoming asteroids...

    so i am only using them for onesy and twoseys as puding has said already they do work out more expensive if you are getting a few items, it is always worth checking the other sites as they group their postage and win that way, and no their postage isnt free -- its included...

    Just noticing that all his prices are no longer in Euro and Euro is no longer listed in the currency section , are we of no value any more:confused:
