parrot Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 tinekedenboer on ebay is someone to be careful of. Note he has had multiple alias' - karllyy, corolla75deluxe & Garage Toyota He certainly has some very tempting parts but charges through the nose for postage. When he was karllyy, I checked before bidding on shipping for a small plastic trim. Price was a bit high but was happy to wear that. Decided to also pickup 4 very small stickers that go on the engine. He totally refused to put these inside the box with the other item which was ridiculous, and wanted to charge an extra 12 euro to post these 4 stickers. I didn't query postage on these stickers before bidding as could see no reason at all to need to do so. I refused to pay anymore than the 37 euro! postage already quoted for the trim item. He previously traded on ebay (and still does on the web) as karllyy, corolla75deluxe & Garage Toyota and is located in Spain. None of these accounts are linked. Possibly his actual items and shipping times are fine but be very wary of postage. I did notice he had some issues with this previously when corolla75deluxe & Garage Toyota. I was not the only person he attempted to rip off when he was karllyy and his subsequent feedback made for interesting reading. Anyway karllyy is 'No Longer a Registered User". Clearly paypal had enough of him too. I subsequently heard from another member on rollaclub, that karllyy tried to rip him off far worse than me over a console. It looks like he is back again, this time as tinekedenboer. I have no doubt it is the same seller. Note that his location is in Spain even though the items are supposedly in the Netherlands. All of his feedback has been given to himself by his other persona's, except for the only real one which is a negative! You have been warned. Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Report him to ebay. Thanks for the heads up. Quote
parrot Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Posted October 6, 2008 I did when he was karllyy as we had a dispute. Have tried to report him again under his new persona, however ebay doesn't appear geared up for that sort of reporting........ He does have some great items, you just need to factor in exorbitant postage, and definitely check it BEFORE bidding. I would NEVER bid on his items on my experience. Quote
dfunkt Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 i tried to get a shipping quote from him for a leather gearboot and handbrake cover, after 5 days worth of msgs he still wouldn't give me a quote. kinda thankful i didn't end up bidding on them! good info Parrot! dF Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 I thought as much. Saw multiple feedback from 2 or 3 names than a negative... Prices are close to 10 x what I am willing to pay on some items :) I found a really good seler in the USA, but I'm not telling who till she sends me the list of all the Toyota items she has (not listed on ebay) and I get first dibs! :) Quote
parrot Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Posted October 6, 2008 You can afford to buy things in US dollars!! :) Yeah this guy has a history of giving himself feedback via his various persona's. Have watched him over a long period and finally gave in to temptation - once. Never again! Quote
TE278U Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 yep, i almost got done by this guy as corolla75deluxe. ridiculous shipping quote after bidding on an item he assured would be about 40 euro shipping. after winning the auction, he tried to charge 400 euros shipping. i had to leave good feedback or he would leave bad for me... sorry folks. he is no good. thanks for the heads up parrot... -dave Quote
Tally Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Yea I'm glad I never bought stuff off him. Always seemed too expensive anyway. The guys from thailand are so much nicer to deal with! Quote

Doogs Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 Thanks for the heads up. Will keep that in mind. Quote
Croc Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 Have a look at all the people bidding. All have similar user names a**r, just the letters are different but all have the astrix. Could be a privacy thing but most others have either bidder 1 or userid kept private. Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Yeh thats just a privacy thing. Quote
