Ebay-High Pressure 30MPa Air Compressor System 228.12 free shipping

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Thank you Mike!  I just got off the phone with eBay, and it appears they are now well aware of who this seller is.  He also said they are going to give the seller 3 days to respond and if they don't hear from him, they will be locking down his account and will expedite the refunds.  He did reassure me several times that I was protected by eBay and to not worry about receiving my money back.  I was actually more concerned about them tracking this guy and making sure he doesn't scam anyone else!

Glad to help, I have used the automated dispute route and found it next to impossible to complete the process and have an actual dispute case opened up. So once I found the phone number that's how I contact eBay for any reason. Just prefer a live person to discuss my rights and further actions I need to take and what action they will take. Never have any issue or reason to appeal or be displeased with the way eBay handles the situation.

Well, I went the automated route this morning because I wanted to stop any further fraudulent transaction, but still wanted to follow up with a live person.  So, after I got home i called.  They said I had successfully opened a dispute and thanked me for doing so.  They also said I'll be able to request eBay step in to assist after three days.  So, I guess I'll see how that goes.  I'm pretty soured on these Chinese compressors though.  I may just wait and see what happens over the next few months...  Thanks again for the phone number!

The 3 days are normal to allow the seller to respond and try to make the customer happy so if they do not respond to your satisfaction in 3 days call eBay back if they have not contacted you first. Ebay is watching your mailbox as well as the sellers so they are aware if he has responded or not to your message.

It will be corrected before the end of the fourth day most likely. Especially if they are already aware of the issue with the seller.

Ok..I started with Ebay and got a bit of a run around.  I finally called VISA, which I used through PayPal, and they are going to open a disputed and refund my money within 2 days. VISA had incredible customer service.  Ebay did acknowledge the fact that the seller listed the item as a small package but wanted me to wait until the estimated shipment arrival date. 
Did you notice there are other vendors advertising the same compressor and also stating "e-Packet" for the shipment. Although, this guy looks legit "mechsonic (2744)" 99% positive feedback with 2744 transactions. Looks like the same compressor for around $300. Not sure if I want to take the chance b4 I know if it is actually going to work.

Ok...so now the tracking number comes back to a small package....so what exactly is this guy doing??? Are we going to get a note that says, "Sorry I couldn't send your compressor" LOL

I did the ebay thing they kicked me to paypal. I opened a dispute at 3. Looked this morning case closed money refunded by 11:30. Just told them there was no way a 47lbs compressor would fit in small package.

 there really was no hassle to it,e-bay is a great way to buy and sell.i knew when buying this item it would a &^^& shoot.if I didn't get it for 201.81 I would get my money back and I did this morning with no problem...a lot of people frown on e-bay and that is too bad.i have made over 3,000.00 in one month selling and almost all I own came from e-bay.i must say this is the first time since 2003 I had to get a refund because of seller fraud and it was not a big deal.would it have been nice to get this for 201.81?yes it would have.but as life would have it when I seen that seller was scamming I went amazon and bought one at 369.00,when I went to check out I had 181.00 cash back rewards and paid 188.00 for the same item(the yong heng compressor).so it worked out well.oh and that compressor shipped from china on 8/30/2017 and I have it today via DHL...so in the end it worked out just fine.i glad it went this way...

Congrats Mark.... That's great for you.  Some of the others.. not so much.
The problem is, somewhere down the line someone is going to pay for this guy's scam. The more we buy into it, the more he gets away with. If that's ok with you, well, I guess it's ok.

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

So, how are you guys already getting refunds?  When I spoke to eBay yesterday, I was told I had to wait 3 days to see if the seller responds to my request for a refund!  He's not going to respond because he's already long gone on eBay, or more realistically scamming under a new user name!  I'd like my money back so I can put it toward something else.

i am a firm believer in good things come to good people some call it karma,i don't I call it the rule of life.i will always use e-bay and pay the fees they charge to show my items to the world...sure they pay out some scammers but thats why they charge to use e-bay and paypal...there is no free lunch in life as I am sure many here know...this thread was about a bargin then shifted gears to a scammer thread.there has been resolution and it ended well for those who got scammed...now those who did get scammed and want to fill guns with have to find another mean to their end which is not pumping air rifles up by hand.

Thanks, I may call again today and see if I can expedite the refund given the facts.  I have not seen a refund yet, but do want to give eBay the benefit of the doubt and the chance to process the refund before I contact my CC company.

Did you notice that he now made his feedback private also? Tomorrow is the first day I can ask ebay to step in... I will be. Considering just putting the refund towards a legit seller that has them in the U.S. instead of waiting until spring (but I don't know why... LOL)

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

I noticed his feedback was changed to private too. I also noticed he now has 5 negative feedbacks, yesterday there were only 3. 

eBay says I can have them step in today, but I don't have a link to do so like I was told. If I don't see the link tomorrow, I'll call and see what's up. When I spoke to them, they made it sound like they were well aware of what was going on, so I thought they'd have refunded my money already, but I haven't seen it.

I believe he is now trying his hand at selling in amazon also. there is a thread on here started today about a sub 200 dollar YH compressor on Amazon from a non Amazon based seller.

Walmart too!  These guys are everywhere!  YH should step in and take action against them, they are ruining their reputation!

[only1harry]

I had a bad feeling from day 1 that this was not legit.  I hope everyone gets their $ back.  Ebay should make good on every claim/dispute. 

I personally feel that eBay should allow Chinese sellers or companies to sell to a US address only if they have a legit US based company registered and operating in the US, as well as a US phone number that buyers can call for customer service and other questions or disputes.  The items can still ship from China, but this way eBay can go after the individuals in the US, and file criminal fraud charges when they collect money and don't deliver.  Easier said than done, but that's my thoughts on buying stuff from China.

I prefer to buy from an American based company so I could be a little biased.

I doubt the manufacture of the YH compressors even know that there product is being used to scam people or if they do they do not seem to care or once they have been paid by the sellers its not their concerns.

I agree that the govt or some oversight into these types of scams is in order to curtain the proliferation of illicit scams we are seeing for this product.
