I just both some Lair of the Orc Lord minis and three of the figures were ninja’d at the last second. Right afterwards I got three last chance offers. All of the minis were won by the same guy, and I think it might have been his other account to try and get the most out of the figures (Turns out I got an ok deal on them from what I’ve seen around the internets)
He is also jerking me around a little on shipping. What do you think I should do?

It could be what happened to me that the guy selling was using a ‘shill’ account to push up the price,
I caught him out buy sending a seller question to the other bidder and he replied with shipping info on the shill’s account that had bid against me.
Thats the way I caught him out.
ingtar_shinowa:
lol i think ill try that
ingtar_shinowa:
No good bud, i cant see who the other buyer was or send messages.
nitroglysarine:
Oh yeah, they changed that a few years ago.
Damn, It really favours the seller and shill accounts now.
You could ask eBay to confirm that the bid didn’t come from the same isp address as the seller?
ingtar_shinowa:
I think I might. This is the first time I’ve encountered “fishy” ebay seller activity. Plus shipping he is asking for is twice as much as it cost another guy from the UK to send me 17 metal figures vs. the 5 i’m getting from this dude.
nitroglysarine:
Shipping hard to haggle really, its clear usually before you bid.
ingtar_shinowa:
he had shipping at 2.5 3 and 3.5 and said he would combine shipping lol
