Funny how I he keeps trying to sell gear I don't sell. Come dude sell some u-turn or peter lynn already. If youre listening contact me I got some other kites for you to sell, they do fly well (than you can do some real advertising) and it's made by our cousins. support the family bro. Rofl.

I like how he says it turns to one side all the time and it can't be fixed. Must be he can't fly or has carpal in one hand from all the solo posting on his forum.

Damn it's lonely at the top ... Other shops need your attention too. List us please and direct your listing to our sites. Hehehehe.

Reported. What an arse.

dylanj423 - 15-5-2010 at 09:32 AM

i am tempted to buy some of his cheap little stuff

PKF Edit: link removed

and just leaving him multiple negative feedbacks... that should screw up his little games, i would think... eh?

arkay - 15-5-2010 at 09:51 AM

Oh man, you are sayig Dino is lonely? Should we send hit a fruit basket or maybe a summer sausage pack to cheer him up?

WIllardTheGrey - 15-5-2010 at 10:02 AM

Holy crap he is actually using the MSRP of the kite too, must be getting desperate for bidders.

dirtslide - 15-5-2010 at 12:18 PM

I sent him a little note of my own ;-);-);-) what a jerk .Its funny how he talks like the kite wont fly but he wants full price for it :wow:

arkay - 15-5-2010 at 05:57 PM

reported :thumbup:

ripsessionkites - 16-5-2010 at 09:28 AM

like my son says "its stupid" ... ebay chat support sux

you go from account security than they transfer you to customer service than they transfer you back to account security

but they dont chat long and you cant save the history, and they type messages and end the chat and transfer you to the next and just goes around in a loop. 30mins of my life wasted. ive already contact my friend at eBay who works at CSR but like he said, eBay is a money maker and they need YOU to buy listings. As long as you're not selling Dino's Body Parts you're okay in their eyes.

so in the end, there is no end. who wants Dino's new Croozer buggy??? the starting bid is at $0.01 + free shipping.

eBay CSR number if anyone ever needs it, since its not posted on the website or how you can contact them by phone.

toll fee number: 1-800-701-3229

DAKITEZ - 16-5-2010 at 11:11 AM

he is not only talking bad about his little Asian cousin he is also talking bad about Flexifoil. We should all forward this on the flexi and see if they think its funny as well.

GOOD POINT !

Someone should do that!

nocando - 16-5-2010 at 07:17 PM

Something has moved with this one, thought I would be a nosy parker and scope it out, but alas ebay has shut page down.:eekdrull:

erratic winds - 16-5-2010 at 08:04 PM

? Dunno what you mean... it's still live and lying

ripsessionkites - 16-5-2010 at 08:15 PM

okay 30mins on the phone with CSR, and they have sent everything to the Fraud department.

what is the outcome as of right now NOTHING:

-it takes 5 to 7 business days for them to investigate the whole thing
-reporting by email or chat doesn't work, its better that you all report by phone
-shop owners should be reporting first, so keep on forward pages that contain "that retail shop" to them to report first
-if the item is fake, report it, for example his Peter Lynn / Flexifoil buggies that are Unknown Brand

they have told me that he does receive warnings so with enough of them his account will be suspend. however that may not stop him because it goes by email address not by IP. however if he has to setup a new account it will be at zero feedback and he's back to working the system.

what i've been told to do. if we cant beat them join them.
I can also setup a listing for some kite at cheap dollars so everyone checks it out.
In the description I can list all the information about Jonesband, and let future buyers beware of his practice.

mougl - 16-5-2010 at 08:49 PM

Hopefully with enough reports against him it will finally shut him down. I'm in to help in any way I can

nocando - 16-5-2010 at 09:03 PM

I tried to access page from Oz it wont let me in

csa_deadon - 16-5-2010 at 10:13 PM

If that was someone from eBay telling you that, it's a shame that it could not have been captured for posterity.... or at least legal proceedings.

This is rapidly bordering (heck, it's throwing up sparks from the guard rails) on pathalogical behavior.

If it wasn't such an uphill battle/time drain, I would love to see the retailer address this not at the auction level, but at the user account level under the following breach of the eBay User agreement.

While using eBay sites, services and tools, you will not:
...
  • post false, inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, or libelous content (including personal information);
...

Without limiting other remedies, we may limit, suspend, or terminate our service and user accounts, prohibit access to our sites and their content, services, and tools, delay or remove hosted content, and take technical and legal steps to keep users off the sites if we think that they are creating problems or possible legal liabilities, infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties, or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies. We also reserve the right to cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a long time, or to modify or discontinue eBay sites, services, or tools.

Those are part of eBay's guidelines for users I expect that if it can be proven that they have repeatedly failed to enforce them with a certain degree of due diligence than they share some culpability for the actions of the user.

ATB,
Sam

alasdair macleod - 17-5-2010 at 11:14 AM

that's put me off buying anything on ebay for ever!!!!!!:flaming::crazy:

ripsessionkites - 17-5-2010 at 12:21 PM

I read the same policy back to eBay CSR and she and the supervisor both on the phone felt stupid they couldn't answer my questions or help. Written policies on any website are never read anyways and most people do not follow up after reporting a case.

it was the supervisor that stated I should fight back with fire. however on a phone conversation I guess they can say anything since at the beginning of the phone call it NEVER once said "this call will be recorded for training purposes".

I really don't think its going to amount to much because it seemed like anyone can call in and say "hello, Im the owner of A Shop and this member on your website is slandering my name to sell his products"
- not once did they ask for supporting documents even though I stated I could supply any information they need to my claim.
- if you're a registered eBay user they will tell you to submit an email instead. Im not on eBay and have never registered for an account

anyways, this is taking too much of my time to fight, and I dont think Im loosing business or friend over his postings.

thank you all for your support. =)

on the humor side, Daskirtz got left out AGAIN. guess he doesn't like selling PINK SKIRTS.

"I have a non-working XL Pink Skirt for sale. I just can not get it to fit well because the waist band seems defective and doesn't stretch right.

It was purchased new from Rip Daskirtz and I tried to return the item but they refused to accept it.

This was the 2nd skirt they sent me with the same defect so it may be a design issue.

This whole purchase was a bad experience for me but anyone else with a more slender body will be able to fit this and show less booty."




Redbull strikes again!!! :wee:

Amazon tried that a while back when I was trying to file an Amazon Marketplace complaint. When I very calmly and painfully slowly repeated back to them what they were suggesting, they recanted. By the end of the phone conversation, I had been credited back for delayed shipping on several orders going back 6 months. My GF just gave me that "that's why I put you on the phone" look. Thankfully, I resisted the urge to climb the tree in the yard, beat my chest, and howl like a Silverback.

<* Putting on a serious :o face *>
Not right to make me giggle like a little girl at the workplace. Terribly incongruent with the Monday morning scruff that results from running late and playing the train chasing game.

Soaked?!?! Hmmm.... for some reason the image of of Ricardo cooking select cuts of steaks on Hibachi, marinated in Red Bull, is now forever etched onto my brain. :crazy:

I really, really need to do a better job of catching up on sleep on the weekends. :sniff:
