Some of us in a effort to save money buy on e-bay. I get my hooks there a lot of times.
There is a seller who sells hooks and flies who had when I made the deal won the bid or whatever you wish to call it had a very good rating nothing that would set off any alarms. His user name is naiv2001. I paid through pay pal and e-mail him with the sizes and let him know that i would appreciate some communication as far as shipping etc. To this date I have not received anything and it is almost a month I have fired off several e-mails with no replys what so ever. I went into his profile this morning to check and see if maybe another e-mail addy or anything I could contact him with. 71 negatives and all in the past month for the same thing I am having a problem with.Do not bid on his products you will not get them.
I have been doing business on e-bay for quite some time now and have found some good deals with little or no problems and I sell on ebay with good results. This is the first time I have ever been disapointed. Just want everyone here to know about this seller as e-bay is doing nothing about him, so noone here gets burned.
hb,
I had a similar experience a couple years ago, and please don’t rule this out…the seller of flies I purchased gave me a quick, friendly reply & answered all my “pre-bid” questions. After I won the auction & paid, I also got no response to emails or flies. Based on the sellers prior A1 feedback, I suspected a health problem & I did NOT send negative feedback. About 7 or 8 months later, he listed another set of his flies. I bid AND I inquired as to his health & it HAD been the issue. He thought things had been taken care of while he was laid up & offered to also send the new set at no charge…of course, I paid for the set I had just bid on & I received both sets of flies.
SOMETIMES, things may be different than they first appear. If the sellers’ recent responses go against a long standing pattern, there may be a good reason, as there was for Max.

I bought hooks from him on February severteenth and nineteenth and finally got them a month later but not the sizes I requested. Three of those negative feedbacks were from me. He is still placing a bunch of new listings. If he has problems filling orders right now he should stop listing or be stopped from listing. On the other hand he is getting lower and lower winning bids and it may be worth the risk for someone who is in no hurry.
all leaders tangle; mine are just better at it than most. Jim
harleybob87,

I have had to do this once before on some CD’s and they took the money from the sellers paypal account and put it in mine. I may have to do it again since I have won 3 auctions from the seller that you are having trouble with, LOL. I bought some hooks from him about two weeks ago and had no problem, we’ll see about the rest of them.

I just got some hooks in the mail Monday from an auction I won from him on March 1. He claimed to have some sort of problem with a shipment, but if you read his feedback, he is often dinged for very slow shipping even on the positive feedbacks. I knew that going in, and wasn’t getting too worked up with his slow shipping record. I did send an inquiry last week and received a response several days later. Don’t give up hope yet.
I don’t think his auctions are covered by Paypay protection. If that were so, I think you’d see this on the right side of the auction page, under the “Buy safely” caption.
If he continues to get low bids on his auctions, he’ll go bankrupt, and then there’ll be a lot more unhappy customers.
I wouldn’t trust him right now with a dime of my money.
I pulled up this guy on ebay to see wgat you are talking about and most of the negatives are on slow shipping and many are multiples from the same buyers. Several seem unfair like the guy who said “Auction ended 10 days ago”. Most said 3 to 4 weeks. I think what this guy is doing is ‘drop’ shipping. Everything seems to be $5.05 shipping which seems extremely high for flies or hooks. From the name of the “company” it seems at best he is ordering from out of the country as he sells things.Or, if sent strictly from the U.S. he is using the little trick of low price but make money on the shipping because there are no ebay fees on shipping of course. I know I just did a trade on FAOL and it legit took about 3 weeks for a package to get here in NY from Texas.
Just got the hooks today. I got a email saying they had been shipped Mar 1 when the postmark on the postage said mar 14th. I believe he is bulk shipping which is smart but he needs to let his cust know this. I had specificaly sent him a e-mail stating keep me informed of when you are doing the shipping and what is going on with my order and I will be a happy camper. The only e-mail was to say they had been shipped. Oh well got my hooks don’t even know if they are the right size or not and don’t care at this point live and learn LOL.
