I have added a condensed version of these pages for quick reference here. Hacksawbob correct as at 08/6/08
MFLenses Bad seller list
Role of Dishonour!

Public enemy No. 1
5 X member446885 Keith Rock. Items not as described, slow delivery, retaliatory feedback. AVOID

2 X kawa Slow delivery, no combined shiping/ poor customer service

2Xfoto432 Incorrect item, slow refund, not provided sshipping service paid for

monkeyforce100 Postage increased if low sell price.

mwclassic slow delivery



This is the third or more times I paied air mail shipment price, insured,signed-for , registered. I didn't noticed the seller I would AIR shipment because it was naturally for me. They took amount for air shipment and delivered on horse back it takes one month at least. What kind of seller this guys ? To get more 2 GBP doing this ?

Click here to see on Ebay Look his feedbacks!

Click here to see on Ebay Another "nice" guy!

2) Purchase a lens Nikkor 200mm f4 AIS from Vienna, Austria distance only 267 km delivery time took one month and he finally sent an AI ! lens instead of AIS. I asked him for 20EUR refund as price difference still looking my money!


I have also problem with this bad boy Evil or Very Mad foto432
I wait for a refund, he say he send money but nothing
I open dispute on ebay, he respond in 5 min every time saying I will get my money back and calm down
If I put a negative feedback he will do the same to me Mad
It is the reason why such guy stay with good reputation
You should make a sticky so we could warn at least member of MFlenses

97.4% good feedback is bad for a regular seller - if I'd noticed that I'd have been very wary of dealing with him, but often we don't notice it until it's too late.

If he'd threatened me with a retaliatory neg I'd dob him in to ebay - they don't like that.

Keith Rock http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/member446885

described this as optically perfect



I returned the lens and then had to chase my refund through paypal We exchanged bad feedback first time I have ever done this I would advise you to avoid his auctions as he clearly has no idea about the optical condition of a lens
here is the bad feed back left for me.

I was going to ask you people about an eBay seller and it happened to be this fellow Surprised

He has a lot of items on eBay with description ends with '=NO RESERVE='.

I asked him 3 times for the shipping cost. No response received.
Prick. Evil or Very Mad

Anyway, I decided I will never buy any from this '=NO RESERVE=' guy.

Cheers

I had a similar experience with this guy. OPT. PERFECT, the lens had fungus clearly visible. Luckily i was able to clean it, and I won it soo cheap it wasnt worth sending back for a refund which he did offer.

One to avoid, by what I read of him. A google search on his name brings up several pissed-off customers.

You can add seller kawaphoto to this list. I was going to buy several M42 to EOS adapters from them. The listing said to contact for combined shipping. So, the reply I get back directs me to their website and states for combined shipping, does not apply to ebay but if you buy from them at 4 times the cost they will combine the shipping charges. Very bad seller in my opinion to advertised combined shipping then do a "bait & switch" method of selling!!! I sent the email to eBay for investigation as well.

Does anyone have experience with mwclassic? I purchased a lens from them five days ago, have sent them three emails and so far no response. Not saying they are a bad seller, but interested to hear of any experiences with them?

I have no idea about him, but I met some nasty trick, if I won on low price sellers doesn't responded to my mails even if I sent 2-3 or more and ?! One month later they reported me as unpaid bidder Shocked
I am afraid my Leica Macro will not mine ever, seller also not response at all.
