PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT regarding: yuuuup11

[penzfan]

DO NOT purchase ANY items from a seller that goes by the name "yuuuup11" on ebay. They are out of California and they have a generic disclaimer on their postings that ask you not to open a case with ebay if there is a problem and not to leave negative feedback. The pictures they post of Metal Detectors are deceptive and their generic comment used "in good shape works good" is false.
You can PM me for details if needed.

Precisely. Perhaps you could provide reasons that we shouldn't trust him aside from your say-so?

He recently sold an Excal 1000 that needed a new coil(cable split in three places), battery(dead), charger(the one provided was for a Motorola radio), and charger adapter(parts missing). That's a lot of work needed for a unit that was advertised as "looks and works great". But don't take my "say-so" for it, purchase the Sovereign he currently has listed and see what you get. I'm just trying to save someone else from being ripped off.

 

[penzfan]

By the way the picture of the Excal had the 3 splits in the cable hidden.

Buyer beware.

I agree he has a lot of sales and good feedback, but he has a lot of recent bad transactions. I think that Ebay should base a buyer's feedback score on recent transactions only, say a year. I have bought from buyer's who had great feedback scores, but then went sour quickly in their customer service all at one time.

You can also leave bad feedback comments and other buyers don't see it. Supposedly Ebay keeps this history in order to keep a track of future action against a seller/buyer, but you don't know any of this as a future customer.

I look at everything when I purchase from big seller's. You can have someone with 2,000 sells a month and then they may have 60 bad transactions or even good feedback with negative comments and still have a 90+% score.

Another problem that I have been the victim of, is seller's having items shipped to me that are either damaged or advertised wrong. They will reimburse me, but won't cover my shipping charges back to them.

Go to advance search and scroll down to the field that allows you to search by seller's name. Copy and past the name in the field.

Or you can quickly highlite his name, right-click on the highlited area the click-on, "do a Google search on yuuuup11" and he'll pop-up... You can then go directly to his ebay store.

OK i found it thanks ..but it looks like he has a good track record on ebay …. But my self i do not buy used detectors off ebay… I will buy them off members on the treasure forums..

 

[gollum]

Look into the detail of his feedback. 7 negative in the last month and 40 in the last 6 months. Also 3 neutral in the last month and 20 in the last 6 months. All the negatives and neutrals show a modus oparandi. He describes his items as being in much better condition than they actually are.

I personally would not buy anything from him.

Thanks for the heads up. Regardless of the 99.1% rating....77 negatives in the last 12 months no thanks.

So did you send it back for a full refund? If not, then I ask you why not? I certainly would have. I also would have filed a SNAD (Significantly Not As Described) case against him in the process. Let eBay handle it, you (as the buyer) have more protection than he (as the seller) does.

This is being used to the point of abuse in the ebay market. In the case here with that excal, sure its warranted. I basically stopped selling on ebay because of scammers. Usually a customer that PMd me a specific question ended up getting my item and my money. It would be nice if there was more balanced marked.

Part of the reason I have stopped selling as much on there myself. As a buyer, if I were a thief, I could have a field day on ebay. Everyday would be like Christmas!

How about posting in all things e-bay. I come here to browse without drama. If I wanted this headache I could have gone to E-bay!

This Seller appears to be a Volume Consignment Seller who probably does not have the knowledge, the expertise or time to determine if there is something wrong with an electronic item and probably does not really care.
