The seller blocked me on Facebook, I thought at first it was a misunderstanding and the seller sent the wrong parcel. It's hard to accept you have been scammed. Lesson learned.
I have a number of videos on buying model cars from Ebay. Why Ebay, many reasons. Great selection from sellers all over the world. Avoid BiMax Italia and any seller from Japan. Prices and bids often close much lower than retail. Al purchases are guaranteed through Ebay if you can't reconcile with the seller. BiMax Italia was one seller I had to have Ebay intervene. I got my money and the cars, left horrible feedback and BiMax Itailia banned me for life. Fast forward to Formula one now. Have had issues with 3 sellers in 3 months in regard to damaged cars, have a video about that too. Two sellers provided refunds while keeping the cars and the other a substantial refund, all without getting Ebay involved. Bottom Line is that Ebay is my one stop shopping choice for the 300 or so cars I have purchased through the site.
@@Minerva886 Not sure if this went through the first time. Japanese resellers tend to have pricing and shipping that is not competitive with other sellers, regardless of what region of the world. I can't understand why anybody would buy from a Japanese seller, and I mean all of them, that have any experience on Ebay. Trust me, I'm not ragging on Japanese sellers. I have bought models from sellers in Asia, Australia, Europe, Mexico, USA and the Middle East but, never from Japan. They are just not competitive, not even close. It's a point I have made on several of my buying on Ebay videos.
Let me know your scam stories now that I'm part of the club!

Why would anyone send money to a stranger? I get the appeal of getting cheap cars, but it's risky. Buyer protection always!
This is why we can't have nice things.
