View Full Version : Good example of a bad seller!

Ok.. I emailed this seller asking if he had better pictures of these gold warrior rims.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1&viewitem=&item=330115589895 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1&viewitem=&item=330115589895)

In the meantime I was checking out what he was buying and selling in his feedback and noticed this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290082377777 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290082377777)

Now... he emailed me back and says he has no other pics and they are the same rims he's now selling. In his auction he fails to mention the extra holes drilled through the rim. If you look closely you will also see he photoshopped the picture in his auction to hide the bad rim. (notice the white rock in both pictures) Now if you won these rims would you be pissed off that he doesn't mention this? I know it might not matter to some people about a few extra holes drilled through a rim but it sure would bug the hell outta me. :mad:

Maybe I have too much free time on my hands but this just goes to show you have to do your homework before bidding on ebay.

Hes beat! You CAN tell in the pictures, he just cut the pic of the good rim, and pasted it over the bad rim. Then made the picture smaller so you cant really tell with a glance. What a scum bag.

do you think that is a reportable offense?

Haha! That seller is sneaky sneaky sneaky..... I'm glad he switched it but that pic still sucks. And he still fails to mention the other holes in the auction description.

Someone sure will be dissapointed when those set of rims arrive. What throws it off even more is he has good feedback.

I see the extra holes in the left rim, it's just the pic is so small they are hard to see, I don't think it is a photoshop. He should have said something about them though.

Fox.. I believe the pic was changed in that auction because it's not the same as it was a few hours ago. Clearly as mentioned above it was altered.
