eBay compressor

[avator]

This morning he had one left.... now he has ten.
Man, I wish you all the best of luck.... at the end of the day you have ebay and hopefully PayPal to back you.
And who knows.... those coins could be worth something someday.

Dang, hopefully it isn't epacket. Here is the weight limit :
"Additionally, the package cannot weigh more than 4.4 lbs (2 kg) to qualify for ePacket delivery and the merchandise being shipped cannot exceed $400 in value."

the ad clearly states...Epacket delivery

Yeah I'm not gonna sweat it too much. If a Chinese coin shows up, I'll file a claim with eBay.

Plus, "cancel an eBay order" isn't an option. Lol

My spare parts came in the other day. Piston ,rings ,seals. Going to do a topend rebuild even though compressor is still pumping away after it overheated. Will take photos of the rebuild😎

Don't do it Ken! I promise you it is a can of worms.

Well I've been following all 50+ pages of this and after seeing the $228.12 unit that will be shipping from China I made a $190 offer and my offer was almost immediately Declined. I then decided what the heck and made a $200 offer and it was again it got an immediate reply saying Accepted this time.

So I wonder how many coins I'm going to get!!! Having E Bay and PayPal backing me I feel pretty good.

OK now I need some help as I do not really want to go through 50+ pages to find all the extras I am going to need. Things like the correct oil, the gold filter and the filter material I will need for it plus the O ring size. Links to those would be a huge help, Thanks beforehand!
Any pointers would also be helpful.

I wouldn't buy any of those extras until it actually shows up and is a compressor! . I'm in the same boat, I'll play the wait and see game and see what happens. Who knows, maybe the e-packet is a typo. Anyone care to reach out to the seller and ask?

[imadunatic]

I ordered all my filter stuff and oil because either way I'm going to have one of these soon enough, if it isn't real this time, it will be eventually (and possibly a larger compressor if I'm patient enough, which will still require a high-side filter).

I do feel better that Norm had an offer declined. The e-packet thing is a little sketchy, as is magically having an extra 10 compressors to put on the listing. LOL. Time will tell, I've had excellent luck with Ebay standing by the buyer if something goes sideways, otherwise I probably wouldn't gamble.

i contacted the seller and asked.....'how can you ship this ePacket when
 max allowable weight is only 4.4lbs' ??

i'm waiting a response......

[imadunatic]

I wonder if there is a market to sell off an ebay account with a few decent transactions and history in a few higher priced items? I mean, this seller has sold a few of these in previous listings with positive feedback, had 8 left from a previous sale and originally had 8 of these in this sale (which all makes sense to me). I wonder why they would suddenly try to scam ebay for a few of these? I guess if you got away with it it'd be an easy way to make a couple grand. Not sure what Ebay's recourse is for a seller like this after they refund all buyers money?

BTW Max, I like " Yong-Gate 2017".... It has a nice ring to it.

Edit:

There is this note in the listing:

Notes for delivery:
1. The order within 2KG to United States will all be shipped by ePacket from China. Most of clients from USA will get the items within 15 days.If the order over 2KG to United States, we will ship you by Fedex/DHL/UPS/TNT or divide into two or three parcels by ePacket from China.Which shipping way we will ship depend on which is cheaper for us. Most of Delivery time is 7-15 days.

[shultz]

No plans of ordering from this seller, all though, that corndog waffle maker looks awesome!!!!

I did notice this though, cut and paste from one of this sellers adds.

"1. The order within 2KG to United States will all be shipped by ePacket from China.

Good luck fellas, I hope all of you get a compressor

Note to self, no pee breaks when posting....

[WesBob]

That sounds better!

I would look at the shipping info very close once you get a tracking number to see what the weight of the packet is, if its lower than 40 plus pounds I would be ready to contact eBay to start a dispute. As Bill stated an E-packet is not big enough to fit a compressor in it so be cautious when you get shipping number.

I saw that!  I wish I had seen it before I made my offer, I'd of offered full price if he threw in the corn dog waffle maker!

[avator]

Actually, a waffle sounds pretty good.... keep the hot dog.

Mike, did you get a tracking number on your ultra cheap scam that didn't work out? Does epacket typically have a listing for weight?

Actually NM. We already know if it shows as an epacket shipment that it's not a compressor. OR, it's 11 different packages all with pieces of an "assemble your own" air compressor!

I hope John ( gendoc) hears back soon and lets us know what is said by the seller about the E packet verbiage in the listing.

His response this morning was

"We usually ship this item fedex
Don't worry we will take care of it"

[imadunatic]

Dang it John, now you're getting my hopes up....

This is starting to sound too good to be true!  Dang!  And, I was already mentally preparing myself to fully engage via eBay and PayPal!  LOL!

I know he already left me positive feedback, thanked me for my support, and said he looked forward to dealing with me again!  He very well may be the real deal!
