Buying from Ehobbyasia

Masada

Has anyone else had trouble with buying from the lately? i have a few orders comming in and was just about to make another one,.,
I get the feeling the've blocked irish sales for some reason? i know most of their stuff doesnt show if you log into ebay.ie but its always available on ebay.com.,
This is the message i got when i clicked "buy it now".,

This seller has set buyer requirements for this item and only sells to buyers who meet those requirements.

You are unable to bid on or buy this item because:

i know some sellers on ebay dont allow bids from anyone with under 5 feedback or a certain percent of positive feedback.
this is most likely what it is , can you post a link to the auction and i can tell you straight away

Just wondering are you buying from the .com site or the .ie site??? I usually goto .com, click to watch the item and then when ready I goto My eBay on the .ie site and buy from there???

I've brought a foregrip and dot sight from them a fortnight ago... took ages for the dispatched email to come through but apparently they've been sent...

Masada

yeah today is the first time ive hade this problem,., and yep im defo on the .com one, if i was on .ie then the stuff doesnt show as items in the shop.,

yeah they have a very small selection on the .ie site, but if you log in and hit the Watch button of what you want to buy on the .com site, it will show up on your My eBay when you log in on the .ie site. Maybe because you are from Ireland they want you to use the .ie site. Just a thought!!

I was about to buy a metal body yesterday from them but didn't, will soon though, they better have it sorted by then.

i bought from them about a week ago without any hassle.went through ebay.co.uk but the .com should be fine as well

Masada

can someone log in and click "buy it now" and see what happens on your end? you wont have bought it until ya click the "confirm" button afterwards anyway.,:)


EDIT: i bought a load of different stuff recently too and this is the first time ive had this problem.,

Oh my god you'v cost me $200..... only joking. Not its working fine for me, up came the commit to buy screen.

Sevenie

try clearing your cache and starting again?

Masada

arrgghhh!!

lol. ,i hate puters.,:D


will try that cache cookie thingy and see if that helps.,
cheers lads.,

Sevenie

OK I put

"This seller has set buyer requirements for this item and only sells to buyers who meet those requirements"


into google and its seems like other people have had this same problem in the last few days, so its seems like its a glitch.

Masada

Welll, i tried that cache thingy, well i think i did.,
ya know when you go to tools/internet options and then "delete browsing history", theres a few options in there and you can select "delet all"., is that actualy clearing the cache?

Yep that its, if you can see the Temporary Internet Folder check it to see if the cookies are deleted aswell though. Mine dont always delete even when i "delete all", if there are cookies in it manually delete them.

But it seems like a proeblem at ebay end, no word on a fix yet, or what exactly is the problem.

I had a quick google and for some reason a lot of people are had the problem where the paypal address linked to the ebay account became detached for some reason, i just went into the setting and added it again and it seems to work grand now.,

cheers.,

I'm having the no paypal error with them at the moment too! eBay issue I'd say

Masada

go into "my ebay" and then under "my account" on the left hand menu click "adresses" in that list, then in the middle of the page theres a link to "view all shipping adresses"., not it'l show you what ones are there and if there a link saying something like "add paypal adress" click that and it will ask you to log into paypal to comfirm the link to your ebay account.,

I am waiting on mags from ehobbyasia since April 9th. There are a few other bods in the same boat. Hong Kong PO say that the package has left for its destination (i.e. ME) since April 11th. I have asked ehobby to track the package down and they have replied saying, and I quote "It may take 3 weeks" so that will put me into the middle of June.

Masada

I had something similar once actually, i emailed them after about 20days and they replied with "it can take up to 14 days to arrive", 20days later?.,lol

Tomazas

I can only buy of the 3 items, and then 10 working days later can buy again,tryed to contact them, they wont change it, so i keep buying of them 3 items every time.

If you buy from a few more eBay auctions and get feedback your limit will automatically be raised.

Masada

make another account and buy sh*t from yourself.,

I bought some stuff off them, start of May. Then I had a brainfart a week later, and bought more stuff. The second batch arrived pretty quickly, maybe just over a week later, but the first lot took over 2 weeks! Odd. They're not bad though, probably just very, very busy.

The feedback thing is annoying alright but I think it's important to make sure you give them feedback on eBay too, they seem to work on that basis a bit.

The FB sys has been updated. If you have an unpiad Item then you may not be able to bid. All the updates are on the site(Login and go to feedback).

I always pay instantly though, have never had a bad one or one left unpaid., the link between my ebay account and my paypal adress seems to have been seperated for some reason.,
fixed now though,.:)

that's odd, I just bought a Cavalvy headset from them right in the middle of this and it shipped yesterday. Must be an intermittant problem...

Flacks aka Dave

Baneblade

Guys this has happened many times to Ehobbyasia.
As far as I understood it before it is down to different things like ebay changing the policys of what can be legally sold to some countries, as this changes from time to time.

Sometimes they disappear for a couple of weeks, but they always reappear!!!
It has happened to me when I have ordered stuff of them, but I have always received my goods off them with no problems.

I wouldn't worry about it. I personally will continue to order from them.

ordered a KJW 1911 monday delivered today, nearly quicked than the irish retailers

-Al-

has anyone ever done a bulk order from them, was going through picking crap loads of stuff for my team and then spotted that they only do shipping discounts to usa

Anyone ever get a discoun to ireland?

Masada

they dont combine postage but if your gonna order a conciderable amount then they should offer you discounts. im not sure how much exactly you have to spend though.,

-Al-

Ah right, I've sent in the list and 'll see what they can do, its nearly 400 dollars worth of stuff :eek: dont wanna pay the same for shipping
