The problem I have with that is if customs investigate an undervalued package then I guess it can be percieved as attempting to defraud them and I'm sure it gets a lot messier at that point!:eek:

I believe they can either fine you, or seize the goods irrevocably if they're undervalued deliberately. It annoys me when HK suppliers do that, so much so I wont use EBaybanned at all anymore because of it.

Doc had advised some time ago that you are better off submitting separate orders to EBB if you are getting a few items,

That was me, and a tactic i learned the hard way.,

Their still a gang of f^$king muppets though.

Calvary headset, in tan, or maybe it was a bowman.

I've ordered a number of times off EBB and have never had a problem, received exactly what I ordered and usually arriving in a little under 2 weeks.

Does look like that when they screw the pooch however, it's done to a spectacular degree.

I found my new out of the country retailer.

My Eotech arrived today, serious service from Ehobbyasia! Got the Eotech and a screen protecter for the grand total of €57.99 and arrived from HK in 2 days, thats a fast as some Irish retailers!

No customs, was lucky!

TheDoc · 18-12-2009 6:16pm

Ehobby are the business

I'm still waiting to see a refund in my paypal account

Note

Just to let you know "ehobbyasia.com" are banned from boards.ie

I wont go into the reasons why, but just in case anybody was sending them a PM regarding an order they will not respond to you.

This has no bearing on them as a retailer, this is just info if anybody was attempting to contact them through boards.ie

Discussion of them and their products is still allowed

But they are not allowed post or advertise here

Anyone been to the new Strikearms shop in swords? I'm quite interested to know what it's like.

Thanks in advance

Don’t buy from redwolf! I bought loads of stuff from them, then sent me a dud g&p laser and light and also a leaking pistol mag when I e-mailed them the wounded even talk to me, before I had the problem they was full of advise !!! they full of **** !!!!
fire support in the uk the way to go I think

It's coming up to Christmas, ask for a tracking number and check both Honk Kong Post and An Post, chances are is that they have stopped international shipping.

According to a blurb on Rsov.com, they have, and the blurb has been there a week or so.

Looks like its a long wait for me.

goz83 · 24-12-2009 8:41pm

Woo Hoo, replacement Mag finally arrived from e-hobby. it only took a few months and was a faulty again but fixed easily. better late than never. the apology was nice too. happy again. happy xmas all.

PS - curious about their boards ban...but not that curious.

.22 Lover · 25-12-2009 1:11am

:D:DHAPPY XMAS TOO ALL:D:D:D

TheDoc · 26-12-2009 5:45pm

I've got in touch with Ebaybanned (again) and asked them would they be willing to sort me out with one of the cookie monster jackets.

They owe me dosh from the headset which still aint arrived, so to save hassle perhaps I can get the jacket out of them

pump · 28-12-2009 6:20pm

Sum personal advice advice from me….
Do not buy from surplusandadventure.com
Approx. 3 months ago I ordered about 200euro worth of stuff from them, so far have received less than half of it, asked a few times to cancel the rest of the order both over the phone and by e-mail yet to get a refund or get any of the stuff owed nothing but bull**** from them!

A top site I have used since is meanandgreen.com

very fast and friendly site, they do exactly what they say unlike that other shower of robbing assh***s !

Well just in case anybody is curious,

Their ban is a result of a lot of money in advertising fees being unpaid to boards.ie

(remember the big banner ads they had?)

Not anything they have done on the Airsoft forum

TheDoc · 08-01-2010 2:22pm

Well how interesting.

Asking ebaybanned what the deal is with either my refund or getting me that cookie monster jacket and the response, after nothing for a week is

"No news cordially"

How is that a response to what is essentially them owing me money...that is shocking
