    Grumpy pickle in a jar sculpture . What is sent is not what is pictured

    Summary: La conversación trata sobre una situación en la que faek-4 está descontento porque la escultura de un pepinillo malhumorado en un tarro, que recibió, no coincide con lo que se había mostrado en las imágenes del producto. Varios miembros de la discusión, incluidos repentatleisure1952, sandypebbles, y springyzone, participaron tratando de ayudar y comentar sobre la situación. faek-4 interactúa con varios participantes para explicar el problema y probablemente busca una solución adecuada. La conversación tiene múltiples respuestas, reflejando una discusión comunitaria sobre un caso de discrepancia en las expectativas de compra.

    Has anyone received grumpy pickle in a jar like shown in pictures 81 sellers advertise? The pictures do not match what is sent. What has arrived has been cheap and nasty and definitely not one of a kind!. Sellers cannot prove they have what they are advertising either. Have told eBay but they don't find a problem with product not looking like advertised. WARNING grumpy pickle in a jar sculpture is fake. Sellers won't send photos to prove because they too know they selling products that looks nothing like advertised. I don't go to eBay to buy a refund! But that's all this fake product is, a refund. Sad because what pictured if happy and funny. Bad experience after bad experience with this product

    If I were you, I would not buy any more of these.

     

    Ebay does not see a problem with the ads because when you look, you will see that the sellers show a range of different ones in jars. They are all in different positions, with different expressions.

     

    These look to be mass produced to me, many sellers have the identical pictures. They are definitely not one of a kind.

     

    Do not just look at the first photo, scroll through all the photos in the ads. You will see that there is a drop down menu to choose style 1, 2 or 3. However, the photos are not actually labelled as to what style they are.

    Style 1 is sold out, so in effect there are only 2 styles on sale, even though the photos show several other designs. You can only buy the styles they have left in the drop down menu.

     

    When you press style 2, a particular version comes up. I presume that is the one you would be sent if you chose style 2. Same with style 3.

     

    If it is not matching what you ordered, you can open an ebay claim for item not as described and get a refund.

     

    PS For the price & from China, you are never going to get a hand crafted, quality item of sculpture. The size is listed in the ad. They are small, probably plastic items. Maybe wait till you see some in shops here and decide if you want one.

    eBays AI checked it but ok apparently. Does anyone else think what I received is sooo not what pictured.  Fake advertising, but it's worse that eBay doesn't care!. I might go into business selling fake pickles. It's not about the product anymore, it about money back. Even though different angles are shown in pics advertised, the ones received are still not even close. I feel so ripped off. I had phonecall from eBay yesterday, out of the 81 sellers, they could only find one with feedback. But they are out of stock. My point is that they now sellers don't have but do nothing to help next people who buy it

    eBay is all about the buyer

     

    Again, if what you actually selected and bought did not match what you were sent, did you open and follow through with an item not as described dispute?

     

    You as a buyer cannot be ripped off unless you allow yourself to be

     

    You do not need to contact eBay or the seller in order to open a dipsute

     

    And as said, both the seller you made the choice to buy from have disgusting feedback

     

    Read the buying basics

     

    You do have the tools, if you choose to use them

     

    And again, better yet, stop supporting dodgy sellers to start with

     

    You can easily see where they are registered and what feedback they have. It takes literally a maximum of 5 seconds to do this

     

    I would not buy anything from sellers who have such horrid feedback, no. I would not even consider it

    And then send me ads saying this seller has blah blah percent positive feedback. NOT on the pickle! No feedback found .... . I've bought about six now so I know. I think it's disgusting that even eBay could find feedback. But not suspicious, ai says. Ai must be right, not humans

    No, they are not humans

     

    But you are

     

    The sellers you have bought from have more than enough negs to warn you not to buy

     

    It does not matter if it is for the 'pickle' or not

     

    Numerous buyers have posted negs warning people not to deal with the seller at all

     

    Forget what eBay bots 'say'

     

    Read what actual humans buyers say instead

     

    That is what matters

     

    What real buyers say

     

    It is not that hard

    What do people say? Can u find pickle feedback, except mine? 81 sellers and I've sent all a message to produce photos of real product but refused. This was a eBay help suggestion to ask to see real photos from sellers but as they don't have product advertised, guess what... They said no!. That's why I ended up speaking to eBay person who helped me find possible maybe 1 seller with feedback for me. It was dud too. So like I said, eBay couldn't find retuble seller in all 81 !!!! Bet u can't find feedback either. Like I said the process is about refund, not sales.

    Don't worry, I do. Like I said I go to eBay to buy  a refund not a product! because sellers agree it's not what they advertised. 81 fake sellers. Do you think I'm wrong for trying to buy a product I want?? Should I give up? . Or should I buy one from every seller as suggested by eBay person I spoke to and report them one by one for not having what they are advertising? I know this will be pointless probably but if I warn one person from eBays collection of unretuble pickle sellers from waisting there time, I'm happy 😁. Should not be this hard. Remember days when it was product in exchange for money, something eBay obviously doesn't get

    This is the best thread I've read in a while.

     

     

    "I've bought about six now so I know"

     

    "I had phonecall from eBay yesterday, out of the 81 sellers, they could only find one with feedback. But they are out of stock"

     

    "This was a eBay help suggestion to ask to see real photos from sellers"

     

     

    You've bought 6 already  and eBay helped you look for more ?

     

    And  eBay suggested you contact sellers  to see more  photos of  "grumpy pickles in a jar"  ?

     

    Use eBay's MBG

     

    and 

     

    PLEASE    STOP   BUYING    THEM

    How on earth would anyone know what you received. ??

     

    If not as described open a case as such - as has been advised - you will be refunded.

     

    The seller is up for return postage if it's not as described - they want it sent back - they pay.

     

    If you are within the 30 day window eBay gives you - do it.

     

    Edited to ask - why on earth spend money on a grumpy pickle in a jar. 

     

    LOL

    The thing is, they don't want it back because it's a piece of ...pickle. it a jar with no lid, half a centimeter of yellow glue in bottom and a tiny 10 pickle. It's not worth their time. God I wish they did want it back. The worse thing is I have corresponded with them, showed them what I've been receiving and they promise theirs is as pictures shows. But all lies! They know I won't want it but this is how it rolls. If I've corresponded with seller and they say yes yes it is like pictures, why not believe them? After all they are eBays sellers. It's not about how many listings eBay, it's about quantity.  81 token shops. Imagine a eBay shopping centre.... Oh it is apparently

    I've never seen  the word FAKE used so many times  in a thread.

     

    I nearly mistook your ID for the word fake too, sorry !

     

    I don't wish to be rude  but are you buying these   items intentionally ?

    Why am I at eBay? Why do u go there? Well yes I am doing my best to find one promised for autistic kid. Ever dealt with one? I may find the prize, I may not. But as eBay doesn't care and policy don't either, the pickle hunt goes on! It's now such a pathetic joke to see what's the worst that can turn up. Lemons to lemonade

    "Well yes I am doing my best to find one promised for autistic kid. Ever dealt with one?"

     

    Yes I have actually.

     

    And I wouldn't waste my time buying from  rubbish  Chinese sellers on eBay who copy listings from real sellers.

     

    I'd  look everywhere,  and pay a decent price elsewhere,  like this one

    Let me clue you up on something, ALL of those items are from Chinese sellers and most likely come out of the same factory, so you are wasting your time and money.

    But keep on buying them if it floats your boat..................

    "While I'm texting U I have received 15 sorry from sellers I have called out for not having what they advertised."

     

    You're going to be very busy filing disputes against all those sellers aren't you ?

     

    By the way, I hope you realise that eBay is likely to dismiss your disputes if you open too many..........

    No, it's not a 'choice to choose from/ under report item

     

    You open an item not as described dispute when what you are sent is not what you bought

     

    Obviously other members are just wasting their time here when you have no interest in listing or caring about who you by from, so I'm done

    No, I do not buy from beyond dodgy sellers in China so I do not have such issues

     

     

     

    You buy from dodgy, you get dodgy

     

    Care about who you buy from and you will have far less issues/bad experiences

    I'm sick of doing eBays homework. Feedback means nothing and is a furfy. No feedback on this product. Wouldn't u like the seller's who are fake removed so you don't have to waste your time,? Are they eBay btch or is eBay theirs?
