Don't get me wrong, they are great quality, but needed to file down the hub clutch about 1mm to get the circlip on at the mechanics.

Slow to send, avoids email contact then blames you for his delays! hah
Now I know why my mate with the GU stopped buying sh1t on there...

This bloke on ebay burnt 2 patrol owners with similar parts...
Gave 2 different stories too... And we baught them at a similar time!
Straight out lier! Also reckons I took my time to pay? LOL instant payment..... Anyway...

Just looking out for you guys! As we all should!

If you have any others to be aware of, list them here
People like you shouldnt be allowd to buy off ebay. I had a few customers that bought on the 24th december and were complaining( as early as the 28th) about there orders not arriving even after i told them that the wharehouse and courier company is shut till the new year.

Then there are the idiots who see my $59 freight to nsw , vic amd brissy and fail to read the rest of the sentence. The think thats the flat rate for all of aust incl places like tassie and kalgoorlie.

Chrissy is a bad time and i bet you probably didnt follow the buyers instructions when making a payment, making it even harder/impossible to track down the correct buyer.


Im not afilliated with hobzee and he obviosly does more trade than me on ebay, But with his feedback and rep on here alone, you my friend have no hope of swaying anyones opinions of him here.



SO, my suggestions is for you to not trade on ebay and go to supercheap or repco instead, as you obviously arent human enough to be part of the ebay community.

and also some banks take longer to direct deposit than others, IN particular the ANZ, and some smaller credit unions and banks doent even recognise my BSB number.


And yes i did have a bad day at work ;)

Did you communicate with the supplier about this problem before splurting your greavances in a public place????????
were you refused a replacement part?

There's never one side to a story which is the reason that threads like this shouldn't be allowed..
If you want to personally defame some body go right ahead. But doing it in a public forum is a bit rich..

JMO.
Cheers, Dan.


Oh by the way.. whats your Ebay name so i know not to sell anything to you.... ever!

with that strike rate.... surely he would of replaced the part free of charge or was it easier to sit here and type a defaming statement than to send an email back asking if he'd sent the wrong part?

wow this thread backfired for you didn't it. Maybe that is why it is advised that if you have grievances you use the eBay system and even contacting the seller directly

I think that is a pretty F$#%ing fair comment!!!!

Big deal he says "slight mods were needed" not "what a shit seller i hatethis guy i want my money back!!!!!"

"But the actual quality was good, just a hassel to get it fitted right"

He is not bagging the product or the seller but making a true statement.......it would have been a hastle to get it fitted right

The bloke has some legit. comments, if he said it came from china, it'd be a different attitude from the pack of sheep, best to let steve address the issue himself, maybe he made a mistake, maybe not either way, let the bloke talk without carrying on like asswipes

Awesome customer service, bagging customers on a public forum, quality..

Perhaps you should post your ebay details so people can remember not to ask you questions about your product incase they get flamed on outerlimits..

Sure you get a lot of nuffies asking stupid shit on ebay.. Perhaps whinge to your mates (like i do) and not the rest of the world?

Yeah i was having a bad day. :roll:

I was generalising so that buyers may see what we as sellers sometimes have to go through on a daily basis. I would never mention any of my customers specifically as thats even beyond my level of ...

anyways, time to visit the other thread of this

First up, thanks to all those who have called and emailed me to tell me about this. A bigger thanks to those who have since bought more CVs now they know where to get them. My ebay store has gone "off its chops" these last few days :lol:

I am sure that had Chris just made mention of a CV fitting problem he would have been overwhelmed with support from fellow GQ owners with good constructive advice. Likewise, a phone call at the time would have also had me around at his mechanics joint trying to figure why it took 460 units to find the 1st rig they didn't slot straight into.

I think Chris has learned not to mix a blasting of 1 seller with a comment on another seller's products in 1 post. And that's probably where his undoing was.

Anyway, Chris has since asked me to supply a 3" kit with castor and brake lines for his patrol and I have agreed to not only supply this but fit it too as show of "nice guy" faith. I will now hit Chris up with a commitment to do a few Navruns and we should all be even.

Thanks again everyone, I truly do appreciate the support.

Yeah, definitely learnt lesson there. Well I guess that's how advertising works, catchy title and details not particularly suitable to the title. :)

Mind you, it was fitted on 30th dec, you were away, I wanted my truck back for new years and so we went for solving the problem anyway we could. We just couldn't pull the cv out any further from the wheel bearing housing thing-a-magig, literally the amount of space on the circlip cut out on the CV was enough for 1/2 the circlip. It could have been out even just 0.5mm (but mentioned 1mm), coz who would ever think 0.5mm would be a problem!!

Navrun

Hey Ruffy, what's a Navrun??? Barretta maybe??

Refer to www.navrun.com.au or browse the competitions and events threads.

Hamo - emailed a quote today for you.

Yes we do Toyota CV's but you had better supply a LOT of white cans to have me fit them. refer http://stores.ebay.com.au/The4wdshop

Funny that Nissan has several different thickness circlips available.
