eBay/Craigslist Ebay seller- anyone know?

DiskDoctr · Feb 26, 2010

Anyone know this ebay seller: reubiconintl ?

He/she lists Mahindra stuff, but doesn't understand ebay at all. Stuff seems okay and the prices seem fair (I've never ordered from them), but be careful the pics in his auctions aren't necessarily of the auction item.

He is using the pics in the auctions to advertise the other things he has for sale (!) I mentioned that to him as a courtesy, but his responses don't make any sense.

Things like the last reply: "Thanks for your email but I am unable to see any auction listing, could you please send me the URL so that I could rectify the same."

Every one of his auctions I looked at are like this, and I used Ebay mail so the auction item number is in the message, yet he claims he can't see any auctions?

If someone knows him, please give him a slap, then help him out. I am glad to see Mahindra stuff offered online, but this guy needs help. When somebody gets the wrong filter because they compared what they have to an incorrect photo, or someone is expecting the additional items pictured to be part of the auction (ebay listing rules), he's gonna get screwed.

I told him that, too, but his reply showed a lack of comprehension. :mur:

Are you talking about the annoying blue "check out these other items I have on eBay now" box from Auctiva that scrolls through his other listings?

No, that may be annoying, but doesn't mislead. I'm talking about the actual image of the item being auctioned. Under it are the thumbnails for additional images of the item.

Instead of being other views of the same iten, he shows pics of different filters, hoses, an ignition switch, etc. Check out this item number to see what I mean: 120451568408

(Note: I noticed moderators are requesting we don't link directly to ebay or craigslist items, so you'll have to search by the item number I listed. This is a very good site and I want to respect their request)

J.C., I appreciate your courtesy in not posting such links, but we've had a few recent changes, so it's now OK to post such links.

Reubiconintl. in Austin Texas is a direct importer, I have picked up parts from his warehouse. They are all new factory parts. I can buy from him and drive the 80 miles to pick them up cheaper (on pricer items) than from my local dealer. I would recomend him to all. I have not had a problem with any of the parts that I have gotten from him.

Glad you've had good luck with him. I was looking at one of his auctions and tried to see pics of the item, but got unrelated images and junk that had nothing to do with the item being auctioned.

If he's selling good stuff, that's good, but his method of "advertising" is against Ebay rules and can be misleading and should be corrected.

If you know him, please let him know this.
