Awesome US dealers....

[ljandkg]

Heard about a lot of bad blood in the last week with high postage from the US. Thought I'd report that there are a lot of great blokes out there as well......

On Monday I won a card from a US dealer on ebay 'scougoura' who charged me only 1.80 in postage. Not only that but he charged US shipping at $2.50!!! Figure that out!!! He also offered GP and express. after i won he sent me an email saying the card was being shipped same day....

The same day I won a card for .99c on ebay from a dealer called '612charlesk' who charged me $2 for postage even thou I won the item dirt cheap.

Just thought I'd point out that there's a lot of fantastic dealers on ebay as well as the odd bad apple....

Nice work dude....great to see someone getting some bargains!

Yeah, ive had mainly good experiences on eBay, and the majority of my buys are from the US, so its good to hear another OzCards members gettig some great deals, as well as some great customer service

 

[ljandkg]

Yeah - just thought I'd write it up - most of the guys I come across are excellent to deal with, if they're not there's no deal.....

Also got that awesome Kg #21/50 reflections gold steal recently for only $3 - it arrived good as gold in a bubble pack - I woulda been gutted if I'd sold it for only 3 bucks!!!

yeah, im actually surprised when everyone keeps saying theyve been ripped by US sellers, i have been screwed about 5 times out of over 200 deals on ebay.

One dealer i always like to buy off is Galasports, always has nice high end stuff and is willing to ship international for like $3, unlike other knobs like autolover and nismo who charge like $25 for express and dont offer anything else. Always prompt shipping, and always trustworthy, always leaves FB too.

I've had some similar positive experiences with Galasports...good seller!

I had another seller send me a refund the other day for $4US because they forgot to combine shipping for me and I had overpaid!

That was a nice suprise!

Thankfully out of a few hundred transactions on ebay, only once have I ever had a card not turn up!

Cheers
Matt

Its like most things. You hear more about the negative experiances and the good just go by the way.

Like JZA said its not the norm to get gipped on postage or cop a bad seller.

Galasports is also one of my favourite sellers, never had a prob and always posts real fast!

 

[ljandkg]

I think in 135 deals on ebay I've had no cards not show up - a couple very late - one suspiciously. I've also had one card I sent not show up, just a cheapie and I refunded and got excellent feedback (of course!!) so very low in the bad experiences column!
Not saying it doesn't happen thou.....

Relson11 is one of my favourite sellers.

Charges $8 on single cards for express (w/tracking) even though it costs him about $20us to send the cards

 

[JZA]

Had to add this guy who i received a card from today:

mikescardsdotcom

Charges $2US for international postage, postage was pretty quick too. the postage itself cost him $1.80, plus he packaged it perfectly too (penny sleeve, toploader, team bag, bubble mailer). highly recommended!

i sometimes buy cards from this US ebay member 'josing4' US$2.00 postage for up to 10 cards to anywhere in the world!
