    Postal address is apparently in California. Parent company is listed as CSK International and they seem to be a global organisation.

    Yeah, I've been getting emails from them too. As Shiva said, it could be ebaybanned and they also seem the most likely crowd that would do this, but the photos on hobbydrive's website look similiar to the ones on Ehobby

    Anyone ever heard of Hobby Drive? Out of nowhere I started getting emails/newsletters from them and I know I didn't subscribe to them. For the moment I'm treating it as spam but wanted to check to see if any other boardsies knew anything about them.

    Ditto, recently started getting emails from them also.
    Any info would be much appreciated.

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

    Just wanted to give a big thumbs up to Phil from TS Airsoft. He put in a lot of work trying to source some specific items for our team. Phil is an absolute gent and provides the type of customer service that keeps customers coming back to TSA.

    Thanks again Phil

    Has anyone ordered a pistol/AEG from EBairsoft/EBayBanned recently? The last time someone from here ordered a pistol, it came wrapped in tin-foil.

    Got an GBB body from them a couple of months ago, arrived with a big red *Opened By Customs* label on the side. Inside was the body, wrapped in tinfoil :rolleyes:

    I ordered a MICH harness on Monday from an EBay seller called emmado22 in the US. It arrived this morning using USPS First Class Mail International.

    Considering it may take me 2-3 days to get regular post from Dublin, I'm a bit taken aback by this seller's shipping time and the efficiency of USPS.

    Have purchased several items from that seller over the last few years. Always been fast, efficient and reliable.

    Anytime they started messing with me I found opening a PayPal dispute soon changed their tune. It may sound futile but it does work

    Was just about to write here about em..coincidence lol

    Emailed them last month to check if a vest was in stock, was told yes, so I orrdered it on 30th September, was expecting a wait as usual with them. Emailed them on 15th of this month to check status of order got the obligatory "Will ship soon" sh1te, got to the 20th so I told them if it's not shipped by the 30th I want a refund, woke up today to see a refund from them.

    Grand, money back and all but why the fcuk did they say it was in stock and then that it would "ship soon"..Christ.:pac:

    I paid with my 3V through their paypal thing, anyway I can back charge them?

    TBH, I'd sooner spend a few quid more elsewhere where they aren't scamming lying untrustworthy sh*ts.

    I use a 3V card too, I think you just file a claim it through PayPal and they just credit the 3v voucher with the refund.

    I didn't use my paypal though, they have a CC payment thing that is done through their paypal.

    Ah I see, 3V themselves must have some sort of claim system for direct payments, fire them an email about it.

    I'm having issues with RSOV atm with an airsoft pistol on an order. They're saying that they cannot ship to Ireland due to "restrictions." I'm presuming it's the old chestnut of the VCRA?
