can you believe that a guy on ebay that i bought some tips left me a negative feedback due to the fact i complained of slow shipment......i paid with 7 days and it was with postal money order....did he have to let it clear,hell no......then it took almost 2 weeks for him to get me the tips.....look out for the cat.....lagsbilliards.....hes a real jerk......juston
 
A friend of mine just bought 2 cues off of e-bay, both made by Quest. They are beautiful but I don't know much about Quest. I think I have only heard the name once before (of course I have been away from pool for a while). What do you guys know about them?

Also, my friend didn't have any problem getting these cues through e-bay.

rule #1 on ebay, never ever leave feedback first, to me this is common sense, i have a few sellers that never left me feedback at all, so i never left any for them, you don't have to leave feedback. The person who gets their end first would be the seller, so the seller should leave feedback first, but i bought two things a couple weeks ago, one seller left feedback immediatly, the other never left feedback, and i doubt he ever will. I guess it goes both ways though, some sellers won't leave feedback until u leave theirs. The reasoning is if they leave u negative feedback first, you can do the same to them.

Yes, they do have some attractive cues. They're an importer of mostly Chinese factory production cues and Quest puts their decal on them. They're in North Hollywood. They're a relatively small dealer that mostly just sells on E-Bay. They're OK for the money - the best of which are similar in quality to Lucasi. They are certainly not a ripoff. They have different lines - the lowest of which are "transfers" which are decals, not real inlays - these should be avoided (not durable).

You did more than "complain", you left negative feedback. If I had to choose, I'd have to side with the seller here. It appears this you are an inexperienced eBay buyer and that this was your first eBay purchase. Sometimes, although you really want your purchase to arrive quickly, it takes a little time. I've had totally shitty sellers, but as long as the product arrives, they don't get negative feedback. Negative feedback is usually reserved for folks who lie, cheat or steal.
 
I thought he meant he complained to the seller, then the seller left negative feedback, but he did leave negative feedback first, too funny. Cuewhiz take my advice from my first post, even if you are going to leave negative feedback, you should wait until the other person leaves feedback first, why wouldn't he leave you negative feedback when you got the item? You're rating is -1 that is pathetic, I have seen -2, i'm not sure how low you can go b4 they terminate you're account, I hope you started a new name. If I felt i had to leave negative feedback for a seller, and they never left feedback for me, i would just make a new account, bid on one of their auctions, not pay, then leave negative feedback.

won 02-01 paid for 02-07,NO item 02-16 (refused to leave feedback till i did! ) Buyer cuewhiz189( -1 ) Feb-16-04 19:51 3657255594
Reply by lagsbilliards: Money Order date 2-7,received 2-11,item sent 2-12,neg. feedback 2-16.....???????

It ended on the first, you waited til the 7th to get a money order? To you're defense, that makes no sense, if you are in that big of a hurry, you would of gotten one within the next day or two. My biggest complaint about ebay is shipping, i cannot believe u paid $4 shipping for two tips, that is unreal

johnson.....i sent this guy email asking about tips and he never replied and then when he did reply he said he wouldnt leav feed back till i did......and for your info....i was not able to get to town due to being sick till the 7th....so i sent it out as soon as i got it.....i still think this guy is a ass...he wouldnt even leave feedback after getting paid...i was under the impression that a seller should leave feed back upon payment or after not recieving payment after reasonable time.......maybe im wrong but it has burnt me from wanting to buy through ebay.....i felt like 9 days was more than enough time for him to recieve my money order and then for me to recieve my package......and can you believe he is talking about ups....it came regular mail......after looking i could not believe that it cost me another 4 doallrs either.....just another way for someone to pocket money ......i think he was a rally shitty seller and would not recommend anyone ever use him.......but hey thats just me......maybe im in the wrong but i dont believe so.......juston

i believe you can reply to his feedback
 
I've purchased over a hundred items on ebay and never had any problem with receiving or giving feedback.
 
and can you believe that the four dollars in s/h was justified with 37 cent postage and a small eco-lite bubble mailer.....the persons name is f. barger and can you believe the hadwrithing looks like a child......i cant believe i wanted these tips so bad that i paid this much to figure out he was just making more money in the deal......i did reply to his feed back but this doesnt help me any.....looks like i will have to get anothe account if i plan to continue to use ebay.......juston

Me too KoKopuffs. The most recent I haven't received yet and yet the seller left positive feed back, so I know it is on it's way. He has 100% positive feed back. As do I.
 
The first thing u look at when deciding on bidding on any ebay auction is shipping. The shipping is listed, if you don't agree with it, then don't bid, now if they over charge you more than what was stated you could complain. I wonder if that's denver that sold you that stuff, he's one of the top players in indiana, I have heard stories of him winning/losing lots of money gambling.

That is where they make an extra nickle is on the shipping. I saw a cue on there once with a 30.00 charge for S&H. I know about the insurance and what that runs, but this was a $150 cue. And other items I have seen have had blown up S&H charges..................gotta read the fine print!

And once again a bad story from ebay.........seems like ebay would take a beating from all the horror stories. But seeing as how they get paid their fees regardless of whos happy and who got what. They could careless. How many bussiness yall know of that has such a bad rep. and still gets people coming back asking for it! lmao You kick a dog enough times he won't come back to ya!
 
Prior to bidding I verify both seller feedback and charges for S&H. Then I'll decide either way.
 
My dad bought that old brunswick fold up table off ebay. The shipping was more than the table was......we know what it cost to ship it and the guy charged almost twice that. It isn't that uncommon to jack up the S&H to cover the boxes, stuffing, etc. and also the time that it takes to package your item up, take it to the shipper, etc.

And that is why it is posted before you even bid. I know that is the first thing I look at is what it is going to cost to get it to me. Because most of the time after shipping, it is cheaper to buy it local or do alittle more looking around!

juston,,, unfortunately, lagsbilliards is a power seller with a 99.4 rating. that's tough to beat, and puts you in a very small minority. however,,,, $4 shipping for two tips!!!!! holy crap!

whatever,,,,,two sides to every story.

I think it sux that one persons bad attitude can ruin a 100 per cent positive feedback record. Ive bought over 200 items on ebay and Ive got one jerk who ruined my record
 
shipping

Shipping can be a two sides knife. I recently sold my guitar on ebay with a shipping price of $30. It turned out that I have to pay $45 to ship it to the buyer. It was my fault not to check with UPS or FEDEX.
