That wall of text is really hard to read.
I have already opened a case with Ebay and I have asked for the item
Okay.
But you don't want the item.
If it was shipped, the seller can give you a tracking number. Any Canada Post parcel would have one.
What you want is a refund.
seems about 50 more of the same model iphone have just been listed today.
By the same seller?
That's a lot of phones for a reseller. Perhaps he is liquidating a store stock.
Let's look at his listings.
Which appears to be his business plan. He has had over 85,000 transactions of mostly used phones.
He is apparently a liquidator of returns and possibly of insurance and bankruptcy seizures.
He seems to have listed five (not 50) today, two yesterday, three Wednesday. He has a total of 37 auctions open.
At a guess, they will be closing during Boxing Week.
Twenty of the auctions end Saturday, more on Sunday. Then none on Christmas Day. He'll be busy on Tuesday and Wednesday packaging.
Only one phone is past the delivery date the other two arent yet but all three of mine and three of the other buyer have been delisted .
Umm- If they are sold, why would they still be listed?
Each auction currently is for a single, pre-owned unit. Once sold, it would no longer appear on the seller's list. Only on the buyer's.
Or do you mean they are no longer showing on your Items Purchased list? You can change that list to show a longer period of time -- up to 90 days.
All paid for and purchased over a 3 week period and on the same day delisted .
Something very dirty is going on here.
Those 6 phones will just disappear and even though the money will probably get refunded eventually it wont explain what happened to 6 iphones purchased from Ebay on separate occasions.
You are repeating yourself.
You bought three phones one of which has not been delivered although the delivery date has passed ,
and two of which have not yet been delivered but which have not yet passed the deadline.
Did the seller give you a tracking number on any of the phones?
Most of his auctions seem to end in the $100-$350 range, but there are several noted with positive feedback as being in the $50-$100 range.
So he does seem to ship at any price.
He doesn't seem to be too interested in the quality of the item and there are a lot of complaints about packaging.
It is possible that the phones are 'vapourware', that they never existed.
This is not uncommon with goods ordered from China. Unusual from North American sellers.
And it doesn't seem to be his practice either.
You can open Paypal disputes on the other two immediately.
I don't understand how you found out about the other buyer, since names are masked. (Which was a very bad idea in my opinion.)
The views on this post are starting to add up so I suspect many more buyers have been affected by this sudden delisting by seller or Ebay .
You have the name slightly wrong, btw.
Made it a little harder to look up his listings and feedback.
Why would these listings be removed from a fully active and registered member
The 15 negs or neutrals he has received this year show a pattern of poor communication, and a habit of sending the wrong model.
On the other hand, he's been on eBay since 2002 and has had over 85,000 transactions.
I checked ALL his negative and neutral FB on toolhaus.org, and that seems to have been his pattern from the beginning. Since he has been on eBay for nearly 20 years, I ran into a time limit with toolhaus. I only saw the first 414 unhappy customers.
who is constantly selling many phones obtained from BestBuy.
It certainly isnt because they dont have the phones because they do .
From the tone of the FB, I think what they are getting from BB is returned, damaged and perhaps switched products.
Some might have been refurbished.
Is Ebay allowing them to cancel any transactions they feel they didnt receive enough money for.
This is no way to conduct a business it is dirty and so is Ebay for allowing this to take place.
I mean doesnt a red flag or anything go off to notify Ebay that a seller still active has removed 6 listings of phones that were paid for ,some past their delivery date.
When sellers cancel transactions, they get a Defect.
When sellers lose Disputes, they also get Defects.
Defects result in restrictions on the number and value of items the seller can list and can also mean higher fees.
A total waste of time watching auctions trying to get a good buy and all this time .I can see one phone disappearing but three from one buyer and three from another all in the same day purchased over 3 weeks non delivered.
You dont get this kind of **bleep** at any walk in establishment.
Only on Ebay .Ebay cant think much about their customers .
Any other establishment would take this very seriously and do everything in their power to correct it.
Ebay will just sit on their thumbs while some dumbass software program will attempt to sweep it under the rug.
Ebay has absolutely no customer service which is worse than bad.Power breeds corruption and yes I am really **bleep** .Should have gone to Walmart or some other place to buy these iphones .
Never buy Christmas gifts at Ebay they will surely disappoint you.Never again.That iphone 6 I never got purchased 3 weeks ago was for my 14 year old granddaughter.
I counted on Ebay and Ebay failed miserably.3 Weeks passed and not one word from anyone and no phone for Christmas .Disgraceful.
The feedback at 98.5% is barely adequate for a North American seller. (The minimum for overseas sellers should be 99% in my experience.)
The feedback from previous customers is there to help buyers make a decision about the trustworthiness of the seller.
EBay gives you 30 days after the last estimated delivery to open a Dispute.
Paypal gives you 180 days from payment to open a Dispute.
It is possible, though not likely, that Canada Post may still deliver Saturday or Sunday. They have been delivering weekends since mid-November.
