Complaint about <Removed> seller--BEWARE of this seller--On 10/10/2010 I purchased a brushcutter from this seller. Unknown to me at the time was the fact that this seller was selling goods on EBay which they did not have in stock! After waiting 3-4 weeks after paying for the brushcutter, they finally answered my emails and advised that they were awaiting stock. I then made a complaint to EBay about this buyer selling goods which they did not have and after investigation by EBay, my brushcutter finally arrived some 6 weeks after my purchase. <Removed> did send me a $25 cheque "in consideration of the delay with your brushcutter" I was happy with the brushcutter. Recently, the pull starter on the brushcutter broke and I then contacted <Removed> through EBay for a replacement pull starter assembly, on the 9/6/2014. Before they would assist me , they requested that I provide them with--1) date of purchase, 2) full delivery name, 3) full delivery address, 4)EBay user name, and 5) telephone number. I provided all the requested information on 10/6/2014, as well as a photo of the pull starter assembly. <Removed>then started "playing games with me, stating that they never recieved the photo, even though it was attached to my email to them. I resent the photo to them another 2 times. They replied that they had forwarded the matter onto their spare parts section and were awaiting a reply.On 12/6/2014 I again emailed <Removed> requesting a reply, however they have ignored my email to date. I feel that <Removed>have "played games" with me as I put in a complaint about them 4 years ago!!! I find their behaviour very unethical and just plain childish. EBay does not need these types of sellers and they are hurting the reputation of EBay. Could you please look into this matter. Thanking you, Graham Carpenter.

Hi Book-of-hezekiah, thanks for your comments and interest, and wish to advise that contrary to what "grumpy*cat*rocks" assumes, he has assumed wrongly again in his reply to you. The company that I purchased the brushcutter from IS an Australian company based in Murwillumbah NSW, who imports these brushcutters from China. After NOT getting a reply re- price and availability from this company (after their re-assurance that they had sent my enquiry to their spare parts section for the required answers) after 2 weeks and 3 follow up emails, I was finally able to source the required part from another reputable EBay seller, and cancelled my enquiry with the original seller. All's well that ends well--my brushcutter is now back in action. All the best, Graham.

Thanks for your reply, I'm still learning (and making mistakes) with EBay systems, but the good news is that I have sourced the part from another EBay seller so all is good. Regards, Graham.

Hi Languidlady49, Thanks for your comments/interest--yes, I mostly agree with what you say, but I was really peed off with the treatment that I received from an Australian company. All's good as I was able to source the required part from another EBay seller. Regards, Graham.
