    Use Babz a lot.

    On my last order, they sent it out twice (actual order arrived on the day expected and the next day another delivery) and despite leaving phone messages and emails I never received a reply with regards to them arranging collection.

    Looks like I get to keep a 1000 extra envelopes then

    Babz don't answer emails. Ever. Which is not surprising given how many they must have had. I have a hard time answering the 10 - 20 a day I get through ebay.

    Nice one.
    What do you sell ? or do you mainly do B2B ?
    Don't worry you will get there. :)
    It might take some time. But time and dedication will get you there.

    Babz Media was under my saved seller list. As I often used them.

    Mine is not selling account but only buying and I got 150 blue star. :(

    I don't like being too specific in my sales but I sell everything- my passion is antiques and collectables but the market is quite depressed- so I now sell anything I can find that turns me a profit. None of mine is B2B and I am a teeny weeny seller compared to many on here.

    I had a look on ebay and it seems that you get a shooting star after just 10,000 feedback.

    Wondered how long this would take to get out. Let's face it, its hardly a secret when police turn up at a trading premises en masse is it? Surprised it's taken this long. Had no idea about the EA angle though.
  • Someone once said to me that if you get caught with your pants down by one agency, every one will want to have a go. Not sure that's the right metaphor, but they're sure to get their financials checked out and the rest of it.

    To be honest, that is fairly poor on their behalf then.

    A company with such a high turnover and one that uses as many selling platforms as they do, they should be able to cope with a stack of emails per day, whether it is hundreds or thousands.
  • The Whole company is going into liquidation due to the fine that Royalmail have given them in excess of £6 million for under declaring parcel over the past 4 years. All their suppliers gave them credit and they have now done a runner leaving suplliers out of pocket by millions.

    Links please- I don't think unsubstantiated rumours are a very good idea in this litigious age.

    You are a competitor, but with access to inside information?

    Anyhow, if the proverbial has hit the fan, this doesn't look good for eBay and their reputation as well, as one of their top sellers. Someone on another forum said out of the last 10 items they bought on eBay, 8 of them came from Babz.

    Easy to be a top seller if you're selling at a loss I suppose.
