    Told by ebaybanned I'd be refunded in 48 hours.

    Its now 11 days later....

    This is gone beyond annoying at this stage....

    Is that the expected level of service from them at this point? I put an order in a week ago and it's still "processing", that normal? :/ I'm pretty sorry I didn't read up about them here a bit first. Lesson learned :/

    Drop them an email asking for the tracking number, also it's chinas new year around now so things are slow with all the china/hk sites at the mo. Ebaybanned can be a tad slow at times but I've never had any problems (replaced stuff for me without question) with them like theDoc has.

    My specter sight is still sitting in customs from ebaybanned., i have a strange feeling that once again, they've stuck some stupidly low value on the package and its been nabbed. took them 8 days to bring it to the post office too.

    Annnnd they've finally managed to tracking it town., on its way back from the cops at the moment and the package undervalued.,
    I also bought the MUR upper receiver for my GBB M4 and havent had any reply about it yet, that was just before the weekend though so i reckon i'll hear back from them just in time for the summer, when the gun will work at its best., :)

    Did you have any hassle getting yours in Pud? Ive been ringing them pretty much every day since the 22nd and only this morning did i actually get a straight answer out of them, they took my number a load of times and never rang back. cant wait to get my hands on it, moreso because im sick of chasing it rather than actually wanting to use it now.

    Irony incoming.


    I got my refund from ebaybanned, 3 months after the initial " we will refund you".

    Looked at how much effort it was to extract the money into my bank account, so bought a hop up chamber for my retarded Tory, and I bought...wait for it...


    ANOTHER BOWMAN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?1 KERRRRAZZZYYYY

    Just bought the headpiece , so hopefully it works, and more importantly, arrives.

    Doc, you are an idiot.

    :D

    really though, ya should have took yore dosh and legged it. if people are only too happy to get screwed over by their lazyness and still buy their stuff they certainly wont get any better.,

    I'd have gone to ehobby or RSOV, just out of principle.,:)

    Get what your saying, but I ordered my gloves of them and left a note saying how I expect them to be delivered promptly and they were, and I did the same agian here, so I'll just wait and see.

    It was a typical impulse move by me in fairness

    OMFG! you do realise you are now officially a fully-fledged card-carrying, window-licking, outta yer bin nutjob for doing that!!

    When you eventually get the Bowman, and while realising it doesnt work manage to choke yerself with the cable as you attempt to rip it off your vest in a screaming rage!

    The real irony will be when we read your headstone(s)...
    "To save TAX, here lies half of DoC, the rest you will receive shortly, Cordially ^_^"
    :p

    Next time you need something from Jesse - let me do the buying for ya, cause you must be on an EB hit-list or something...:rolleyes:


    BTW, I've one on the way - should (tongue firmly planted in cheek) arrive this week... :D:D:D
    (I already have me card btw)

    www.uktactical.com are absolute heroes.

    Ordered a 1911 SERPA from them tuesday afternoon, and the courier just knocked on my door this evening, weird, wasn't expecting a courier at all for a tenner shipping from the UK.

    Also, real Blackhawk SERPAs are so much better than the chinese copies it's unreal.

    Get onto Tony in eirsoft.ie -- he can get pretty much anything you want in from any of the HK sites.

    Rambler's Way on Mary Street are doing Magnum Elite II boots at what they say is half price, which means 80 quid, which is a good deal. I got a pair yesterday for day-to-day stomping about and they seem great so far (speaking from a position of some experience with day-to-day stomping about in black tactical boots).

    Yes they are. I got the impression they have all 3 styles - leather, leather insulated, and nylon\leather, although I didn't check because I can wear thicker socks in winter and see no point in nylon bits.
