.be aware of this seller ..I always check my bids first to make sure it says free shipping.. well iv"e caught 2 scammers that add in shipping costs after you have won the bid if bid is win was extremely low.i bid on a dragon vein green agate for 1cent and won the bid ,in my purchase order now says $4.00 shipping....i didnt notice at first so i paid for item..among others..but i noticed shortly afterwards .. so i emailed the seller and requested a cancel order .. i get message back saying HA HA I already shipped item.. so now i have to wait to return item when it gets here,, which took over a month and a half..

When i opened the package , the item was broken , looks like a defective part where the agate or should i say glass didnt form properly .so again i contact seller and ask for a refund....after several emails no response..well yesterday i go to leave negative feedback , and Ebay had removed all my purchase records pages( 2 ) so now i cant leave feedback . the seller gets $4.00 profit and gets rid of a defective item for 1 cent , and if refunded he still collects the shipping fee... and the refund only costs him 1 cent ,, another seller had tried the same , but at least he deleted he shipping cost..but tried to tell me buy more items and save on shipping ..????? not..

also if you notice in the bidder box .. the name PRIVATE BUYER ,,,who just seems to know exactly what you bid and keeps outbidding you just by a slightly higher bid then yours.. they are the sellers trolls ..boosting up the bids so you bid more ..if they win no big deal hey repost bid..Mostly from India..this happens and some china..if you happen to trick them by pretending you want the item your bidding on then go right to the other item with same time left and wait until last second..lol well you do win the bid , but they pretend to send it .... you never get the item but you get your refund after waitng nearly 2 months....

A lot of scams with fake gems and raw stones here as well .. before you buy look it up under how to tell if the Eay gem is fake .most of the Cabachons are poured melted glass.. ..and why they selll so cheap..other items ..to watch for Moldavite ,poured in molds to look real.. most dragon veins are fake ...the gorgeous huge gem you bought is usually cubic ziirconia..lapis lazuli and aquamarine are just painted blue stones....

Sellers posting pics , making super small items look larger ,do yourself a favor and go buy a small digital scale and smoke shop for 10$ with carat and grams , my min limit is about 40 carats..if your buying a specimen as a keep sake ..under 20 carats is not worth it..

.i bid on a dragon vein green agate for 1cent and won the bid

And you expected it mailed from overseas for a penny?

The lowest international letter rate from China is 45 cents US. (I looked it up a couple of weeks ago.)

i get message back saying HA HA I already shipped item..

Well, that's rude. Is it a direct quote?

And there is nothing preventing a seller from cancelling or more to the point refunding while the item is in transit.

the item was broken , looks like a defective part where the agate or should i say glass didnt form properly .so again i contact seller and ask for a refund.

The seller is entitled to ask you to return the item.

With Confirmation of Delivery this would cost you $40 or more.

Over less than the price of a latte.

but at least he deleted he shipping cost..but tried to tell me buy more items and save on shipping ..????? not..

So you were refunded the $4 shipping?

And now are complaining about a penny?

and Ebay had removed all my purchase records pages( 2 ) so now i cant leave feedback .

Look on your Paypal account.

Find the transaction.

The number should be there and from that you can find the eBay order and leave feedback.

But you can only leave feedback for 60 days after purchase.

And take this as a life lesson.
