Shame on you! People like you are what give eBay a bad name. If it were up to me you would be banned from selling on this forum as well as eBay.

Kite is still for sale! $300 obo!

Thank you for the kind words! Could always use some positive feedback ;)

Giving eBay a bad name? :lol:

If so, the majority of members on here would be banned from selling, "according to you". We are in no way entitled to sell on here if we don't find someone to sell to.

And just so you know, I don't randomly sell a kite to a person on eBay. I ask them if they have any previous kiting experience before finalizing the sale. It's that simple!

Canceling the auction shortly before it ended then immediately reposting it? Simply because you wern't getting the price you wanted and you were trying to avoid eBay fees. That's poor form. It's crap like that that gives online sales such as eBay a bad rap. if you wern't willing to take that little for it. You should have put a minimum bid or set a reserve. But you didn't because you were trying to avoid the reserve fees. I was prepared to buy your kite. In fact, I was the highest bidder when you cancelled the auction. I also noticed that you had immediately reposted it. You have proven your willing to do shady business. You couldn't pay me to do business with you know. I hope others will read this and not do business with you either. You want publicity? You got it!

IFlyKites - 13-2-2016 at 09:31 AM

Fair enough! What if I told you that I only cancelled because I realized I forgot to put a reserve price? That makes your point completely invalid! And you could have said that in a nicer way than saying that nobody should do business with me. Don't make attributions of people when you don't know the reason, especially online!

And for the reason you gave about not wanting to sell the item because of not being satisfied with the price? Sellers who list for less than they are willing to take for the item as the opening bid are not selling, they are gambling. When you gamble, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That pertains to everything on eBay. :thumbup:

As a seller, I am not obligated to sell until the listing has ended and there is a highest bidder! Whenever I use eBay, no matter who I deal with, I realize that I won't win an auction even if nobody bids above me. I do understand that the seller is able to cancel and I have no problem with that. It's their item and they could do whatever they want with it. I could care less why they have cancelled it. And if you're going to go further lengths to find the, "reason" they canceled, then eBay might just not be for you!

I do avoid selling on eBay. I only sell on it if I have to. Considering this was my first auction style listing on eBay, I made a mistake. I am sure if you were selling one of your kites on eBay and put up a bidding on it, and you forgot to put up a reserve price or made a mistake on something, you would have cancelled as well!

Why not give me an offer up on here? I'm open to offers! No need to hide behind eBay. On your side, it shows that you are afraid to message me on here and tell me you're interested. You're taking advantage of members on here and using their eBay sales to get a "good deal". Is that not giving PKF bad rep?

This is a kiting community. If you're going to go out and cherry pick then don't bother doing business with anyone on here. All I can say is I know many people who have cancelled sales because of mistakes or even not having a high enough price as they anticipated. The first step you take onto eBay property, realize that NOBODY is obligated to sell to you UNTIL the sale ends!

Thank you and I hope that answers your concern!

I love kites and kite sports. But I don't have a ton of money to go out and buy new kites. It's because of this forum that I am even able to participate in this wonderful hobby. Almost every kite I own was purchased here on this forum and everyone I have done business with here has been truly wonderful. To the point that I feel this is a relatively safe place to buy used kites. I have only once ever bought a kite on eBay. But even that was a pleasant transaction. I didn't message you with an offer because until recently I didn't have the funds. By then you posted it on eBay. So I tried to pick it up there. But you cancelled the auction. After 6 days on auction in the last hours that you are able to cancel without being fined you canceled. You didn't forget. The bidding didn't get to where you wanted it to. I didn't care until I saw you reposted it. Since then I have learned that this is becoming a common practice with shady Ebay sellers. If that's the kind of dealings you want to do I am going to let everyone here know and try to do my part to try and keep this a safe place to do business with honorable people. I've made my point. I'll not continue this banter. People will read this and they can decide whether or not to do business with you.

I have found this forum a safe place to do business with many good sellers and also had a very good purchasing experience with IFlyKites. The seller is in control until the goods are in your hands and can always refuse to sell. C'est la vie.

Here we go again!

Selling on PKF is Peer to Peer. Ebay is all about the money .

IFlyKites is a STAND UP young Man. A student trying progress on a budget. I know him personally and can stand by him and his ethics. He respects his gear and keeps it as near new as possible. He is respectful and honest.

Seems to me you passed up on going Peer to Peer. IFK is selling at a very reasonable price and was open to offers.
You chose to take the " all money route " . If you weren't matching what IFK had meant to put in as a minimum bid it seems clear you were out to take advantage of a situation. IFK played within the rules of Ebay and can not afford to give his kite away. If you don't think so take it up with Ebay. If IFS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s new Ebay listing has a minimum bid, his explanation rings true to me?

My opinion of IFlyKites has not changed. $300 is a Sreamin' good deal for this kite! BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!!!!!! :thumbup:

SOLD!
