Heads up on Giftsix Ebay scam business going bust.

[rob_x2004]

Friday 12th late, another week and no progress.
One fluffy email (in four or five weeks) promising to look into it and get dispatch and ending;

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We're happy to help.
Best regards,

eBay ID: giftsix


No definitive answers, no tracking numbers, no advice on delivery, again failing to meet new promised dates, not responding to emails, not answering phones. Still listing lenses and still posting supposed positive feedbacks on their ebay store.

They have no credible excuse, other than straight fraud, or they do not have the item and arent going to tell me till it turns up, or, they are experiencing liquidity problems. Obviously they would not have any credit with the distributers, it would all be hard cash down, but I wonder if they have placed any orders with them.

Happening to me, then it is happening to tens of people. I wonder how big the problems really are.

Rob,

The situation with the e-mail problems were true a few weeks ago. A member of this forum who is travelling in China and corresponding with me via e-mail was not able to access his e-mail due to the problems generated by the earthquake. However, my girlfriend who is now visiting in Singapore is able to e-mail me with no problems.

Perhaps there is a communication problem. I've sold items on E-bay to persons in Hong Kong, twice they backed out of deal's after winning the auction. I did manage to sell my Leica MP to someone in Hong Kong via E-bay, again I thought this person had backed out because I got no payment or communication, and just when I was going to relist thie item I got the full payment out of the blue. Since then I don't sell to folks in Honk Kong simply because at leaste 50% of the time, there is an issue with communication.

I sincerely hope this problem is sorted out to your satisfaction. E-bay is tricky, I have one negative feedback on my score and it brought my rating down below 99% and that was from an idiot who didn't even buy an item from me. E-bay refused to do anything about it. Checking feedback carefully is the safest approach to E-baying.

Rob,

I just got an e-mail this evening from mainland China and the problems persist. The system is still not fully repaired.
