For those of you wondering about what happened with this car.. well I still have it. Ebay Motors has a problem when it comes to selling cars and this is my proposed solution. For now I'm going to sell the car normally. If you are interested in the car email me kaleb@builtofficial.com - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Best surf shark promo I've seen btw
@BUILTOFFICIAL Hey I just got a response to my comment, another channel in your comment section. Using your name and profile pic, telling me to send them something on telegram. I’ve heard of it before pretty sure it’s a scam of some sort. Thought I’d let you know, have a good one tho! :)
@@de_grizzly Yeah, thats a scam. NOt much he can do about it though, they just register a new account with a slightly different name and do it again.
Man eBay needs to just fix this crap. I can't believe this is still a problem after so many years. Either way, it was a pleasure helping out on this car. I hope the sale goes as planned this time around. You deserve it bro
You have to get in contact with Ed, tavarish, or Tyler. And have them speak to ebay motors on your behalf. (If not they will never take this seriously).
This happened to me on ebay motors. They don't care because they get final value fees every time. I listed my skyline there twice and they charged me twice. Even tho it never sold because of fake bidders.
I don't think they can legally charge you final value fees for something that didn't sell.
Heck, they refunded me the fees when I had to refund something that DID sell.
Also a lot of these problems can be solved by restricting who can bid on your items. ie Buyers with zero feedback score.
Man I really hope that nobody ever has an accident in this car.
Just an FYI, you might wanna add supports to that harness bar or run the harnesses differently. In the event of a crash, the bar looks like it could bend from the force.
Ebay motors does things for famous content creators. Not normal people like myself. eBay motors also* allows people (who have sold thousands of items) to scam smaller sellers (like me). And since they're high volume sellers, they will settle in their favor so they don't lose revenue.
I had someone clearly say they want my tires, know the condition, know they shouldn't be used for anything other than rolling around the shop, etc. (They literally harrased me for days). Then I sold them to the person and said do you understand there is no returns and it is final sale. They agreed and reiterated it many times.
Then they thanked me for the item saying they're perfect. (After recieving em). Then days later filed a false return. Send me back one single random tire. Then kept my tires, listed them for sale, and I got charged double what I sold them for. (I showed all proof and ebay didn't care).
Oyeah #FuckEbayMotors
In the past you could set restrictions on who could bid. No feedback, newer than X amount of time, etc to keep unestablished account from bidding. I no longer sell big ticket items on eBay, but look into those restrictions in the future.
Man, I am not living in the US, if I was, I would definitely have bought the car from you. Been following you channel over a year now and I be so stoked of what you do
That surf shark add was epic😂😂😂😂
Ebay has all the buyer protection in the world, but what do they offer the seller?
Long time ago, eBay bought the marketplace which we use in our country. It has been like this forever.
yo, props for drilling, grinding and welding in a shark suit without parrell. lol. i was welding on 3-2-23 and had the drop light to my left (hot) welder in front (hot) and nothing to my right, but all a sudden while im welding my right arm starts getting super hot, like hotter them my left arm rigth next to the spot lamp (hot) and i lift my hood, look down and my entire FN shirt is on fire haha. needless to say that was allot of fun lol
It’s not just ebay motors. It’s regular ebay too. I think it’s bots that are bidding. As from what I’ve seen the profiles normally are new (within a month or two) and have no reviews on them. I’ve sold allot that never get paid but luckily I don’t ship out right away unless they immediately.
i spend thousands on ebay and i will not do any business unless a account has reviews and prior sales for this reason right here , im not about to bs around with fake crap when im trying to spend cash and build shizz lol .. peace n love fam stay safe
@@mastercricket7626 yup same! It’s ridiculous the massive influx of the accounts. I’ve had to put in all my listings that I will not do business with accounts that have no reviews. And you too fam! Peace, love and stay safe
@@dominicandawg3455 You can restrict bids for zero feedback accounts. You can also make it so that payment is immediate upon sale. Those two options alone should deter most phantom sales and/or make it way easier to resolve issues.
Good luck.
Ive only posted 3 cars for sale on EBay and each one “SOLD” for my asking price and not one, so called, buyer even responded to a message, much less paid for one. It’s such a simple fix for eBay by take a refundable deposit from a buyer before being allowed to bid or buy. I feel like even $200 would keep most of the broke idiots away.
eBay used to have a variety of tools to prevent this, back when they owned PayPal
There’s never any type of protection for the seller. Just fees they collect on every transaction. One of the reasons I stopped selling on eBay. It’s a disastrous scam nightmare
Yooo!! Kaleb! I hate this happened to you bro!! I remember watching ebay and being so stoked that the bid went so high during the auction but then also super bummed when it fell through!!! Hope it sells quick bro!! Super stoked that your back to posting your videos again!! Hope all is well with you and the fam!!
Double thumbs up Kaleb!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Remember Kaleb, "From adversity, Heros are born" dont get discouraged. Keep trying. You make amazing content.
And want to add as an IT guy, that Ebay can easily track this people, and blocking them from creating fake accounts.
So sad to hear about scammers, hope you sale the car & get some money back.
I’m sorry this happened to you. Your builds are great! Keep working hard!
Is that the Kitty perry shark from the Super Bowl. You know the one who couldn’t dance ?😂😂😂😂
You can actually select in your listing that only verified accounts can bid on your sale. Most people don't do this. At least in Australia anyway. But we don't use eBay over here anymore. Haven't for years.
Where do you aussies sell stuff now then? I'm interested in importing some Aussie Domestic car parts, it would be good to know the best place to hunt for stuff.
Cheers
I think one thing that could potentially really help the channel is car meets. Not your tik tok kid meets, legit meets, cool location, all friends. I watch every vid and I’d be down to drive out there for a weekend and show off my project and learn from others and see what they have done.
Sadly there are less and less actual meets because the internet allows the wrong crowd to get wind and show up, in my city it once got to a point where police would post a couple miles away and just start pulling people over whether you were doing anything or not.
You working in the shark suit…priceless 😂
Very big issue in the reseller community. I sell on eBay for a living and no longer do auctions. I’m obviously on a much smaller scale on a single item but definitely has been a issue for year. I just scratch my head with this cause it is such an easy solution.
I can’t believe that’s not already a thing with eBay motors
Love your videos man, great editing, the interaction with your kids, awesome builds. Seriously a stand up guy. Keep up the good work man!
The seats make it clean! GLWS
I feel for you bro. I've been there before, it is very sad 👍🏾. I hope you are able to get this gem out the door.
I thought there was an option to stop 0 feedback users from bidding? At least last time I checked it was an option on the UK website.
That shark suit... hysterical.
I was on the other side of this issue. In 2019 I placed a bid on a decent 1946 Ford coupe street rod. I lost the bid but the winner bailed. Seller list it again......same thing. The 3rd time it was listed I was the 2nd place bidder and winner again bailed. Seller contacted me and asked if I was serious. He said I had 3 days to get him a bank draft for our agreed price, I did and a week later I had a 46 Ford street rod in the garage.
But you are correct.....seems this is a big issue with the way things work on ebay.
This has been a problem with Ebay forever. I have been a member since 1999, and I have had many car auctions burned there. I am very hesitant to list any more cars there. I like Bring a Trailer because they require 5 percent of the bid price to be held until the end of the auction from the bidder.
I have said this for a long time. Jerks who bid stuff up just for the fun of it with no intention of buying. Another issue is the dealers who list their stuff as No Reserve and then either create fake account to jack up the price or out bid the top buyers because they didn't get enough money bid. Then a week or so later you see the same car up for sale again. Back in 2016 I followed and bid on the same vehicle from the same seller for 4 different attempts over a 2 month period of time and every time it bid out but never sold. Then it finally got posted with a reserve and after ending (but not meeting reserve) for a sale price of less than it sold for on 2 other occasions with no reserve it went away.
So this is why I'm not seeing alot of good shit on Ebay anymore.... shame I used to actually buy things off there.
I love the Shark outfit, best surf shark ad I've ever seen 😂
Great to see you back. Also sl500 is sick. Keep it going.
The whole platform has the same problem. I've had it happen with a car, car parts, and non car stuff. Never three times though... ridiculous...
Damn man that is a big problem. How many projects have been affected by bs like this
A lot. Not the first time I've seen people say this exact thing
Really like seeing you back!
0:41 - 5:16 wtf was that gap in the story for
you should only be allowed to vote or bid on vehicles for the amount of money you already have cleared as valid with ebay, like a holding house for auction money purchases. dont have founds verified. cant bid.
I like the rebrand. Keep up the work Caleb bro I'm with ya, you're a badass fabricator and a good dad role model for your little guys I just had my son earlier this year and what a ride.
Really missing the videos man, hope everything is going well
This may be my favorite TH-cam ad ever 😂! great content as always, keep up the hard work!
It SUCKS that some people are that DISGUSTING, I hope you sell it for a number of reasons. That surfshark plug was the best & funniest plug I've ever seen!
How about listing on bring-a-trailer where there is an automatic funds holds when a bid is submitted?
I'm glad too see your doing alright been a minute
You know there is a function on your seller dashboard where only people that have 5 or more buys can only bid. I know 5 isn't a lot but at least it beats a buyer that just created an account.
Hang in there brother 🙏 💪 your doing good things, keep up the good work, you put out very good content.
Omg the shark kept coming back throughout the video ☠️☠️☠️☠️🤣🤣
He’s back in my notifications 👍🏻👍🏻
That sucks, I was wondering how that went. Good luck bro, I know you'll get it!!
Do you still think about the mr2 possibility regret selling it
What happened with the wide body Datsun 620 build?
Crazy how yt hasn't shown any of ur vids in the past month even though I've been subd
I've had nothing but problems buying used auto parts from Ebay Motors.
The photos and descriptions on many parts are misleading and sometimes flat out wrong.. Yet the sellers rely on their "No Return" policy to swindle many buyers on thousands of used auto parts. The sad part is, Ebay let's them get away with it.
For a while I thought is was just me with the types of cars and trucks I restore but now I'm finding out from many people that they just don't use Ebay unless they have to.
I’d watch full video of you wearing a costume lol 😂 that was funny
Love that car! Keep us posted on the sale 😊
I see the shokz you got on!! Good set of headphones
Notification squad!
Watch THE VERY END
@BUILTOFFICIAL hahahaha I figured that thing would be a oil rag by now! Hahaha thats whats up. Thank you man.
Just out of curiousity, would Cars and Bids be a place you could sell this? On the surface it seems like they are a bit better protected than Ebay motors and this is certainly an enthusiast car!
Hope it sells, keep up the good work!
Sucks that they did you like that :/
One way I saw car youtubers in my region push cars is through payed entry raffles
They sell tickets online... lets say at 50-100 bucks per entry, one person can buy multiples
and then they pick a name through a randomizer and give the car to the winner.
And they do it quite often so I assume it is financially viable.
The real question is, is it legal in the US.
I wanna see some driving clips of this thing, would be nice
What happened to the datsun build
I would LOVE to get that car. Man, I need to get rid of my truck too!
i agree completely and this is why i do not use thee site for anything more than parts ... maybe if #ebaymotors would step there game up and require a non refundable down payment to any bidders to ensure nun of this bs to people that are actually trying to commit business not just play broke games ... anyways keep up the great content bro , peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on ... l8z
Would love to see some more Porsche content!
Why are people like that? SMH. This is why I don’t bid on eBay.
Wish I would get notified when a new video dropped. Guess the bell isn't working.
sick build ..
What happened to the fatsun?
The problem is ebay only cares about profit then the customer, Not the seller. If they require collateral it goes against a potential bid. It sucks but it’s ebay.
One of the, if not the best VPN ad i’ve seen. You just made my morning haha! Still glad to see you back on here man, hope you’re all good and have a good weekend:)
WHERE IS FATSUN Ep. 35?!?!?!?! That is my question! Where is the finished Fatsun?
such a shame, when all you want is to help other people.
Keep at it your doing a great job. 2x👍
I recently wondered why I hadn't seen any notifications after I had it set to all I checked, and it was set to none?
Anyway I've set it to done again so hopefully I won't miss anything ✌🏼
Now that's how your keep a viewers attention during an ad!
I'm still Interested in the old MGB GT radio if you are willing to sell it.
literally no reason to list cars on ebay anymore since Facebook marketplace and Facebook pages dedicated to specific cars came out.
This car is sick! All it needs is a manual swap to be absolutely amazing! If I didn't have so many current projects I'd love to pick this up!
I really appreciate your positive attitude and persistence, despite all the difficultly you've faced in doing what seems like it should be so much more simple. Sell something to benefit charity. I really hope you can get it done!
Attitude.
@@deaf2819 whoops fixed it
This is why I stopped selling on eBay years ago, good to see nothing has changed
What happened to the fatsun
They will never fix it ever since 2008 when the old ceo left the company has had issues and there is a reason for that look at the qualifications of the ceo then and know and you will understand
Why not post it on Doug's Cars and Bids
I can't believe I'm saying this but the video is worth a watch for the sponsor bit alone lol. Surfshark needs to send you a bonus check!
Sorry you had the problems you had with the sale on this car!!!
That's so scary i would not trust rivnuts for something like a seat that's life
I would daily this thing and love it 😂
I would like from you to build a Mercedes Benz Car for you. One of the following cars 560SL, 560SEC or 560SEL { AMG WIDEBODY DESIGN }. & Boost it to 560 HP's.
Just give it to I’ll come pick it up😅😅
I wonder if something like omaze could help you out or maybe creating/register your own nonprofit that donates to different charities? obvisiouly that is alot of work
Love the videos and hope things work out!
Range rover classic 4 door 😍😍😍 V8 ?
When we gonna get more of the Fatsun? 😢😢
Or the damn mgb that never got done, now we're building a honda crv??? Come on dude
Miss you bro.
That's a bad ass Mercedes
Yeah, Ebay don’t care. I stop buying from them along time ago.
