Babz media

This a real shame. Have brought tons of stuff from Babz and often it was the same or only slightly more expensive than buying from China but you got it in a few days.

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

Come on, we want more gossip on Babz Media. I'm just getting me pop corn.

The problem I see is that they've had over 8.6million feedback left for others on eBay & we may now lose some of those customers whom would also purchase from us & other sellers on eBay.

We're still awaiting delivery of our battery orders from them, due tomorrow & Tamebay have quoted eBay, stating that all orders would be fulfilled.

Have eBay made an announcement on these deliveries, could you link to it? Someone I know is waiting on a substantial supply of goods.

Under the current status and amid rumours, if they owed me stock I'd be getting a Paypal claim in asap.
Even if they ate sorting it out they're going to be up against it now they're being talked about so much.

I think they do, they've built market place systems where only the cheapest item listed sells, thus forcing sellers to undercut each other just to get sales.

If Babz have gone belly up it does show that you can sell as much as you like at a loss or near loss, but you're never going to earn off the job.

They won't be the first big seller to go under from the same market.
I'll agree that there are plenty of cut throat markets on Amazon and EBay. I buy envelopes that ate drop shipped from another company, I can't even get a bulk price direct for what they sell me one case for. I'd struggle to get a profit if I'd been given the item.
I'm fortunate to be in a narrow market and to have good product knowledge. I also have my own brand range so no one can compete with me on Amazon.
As for Babz, it's interesting that they were singled out as a top Ebay seller earlier in the year. Turnover and number of customers is a measure of very little. Some of the better Ebay sellers will have higher value/big profit items and far fewer customers.

eBay have commented on the case: “We are in close contact with the seller and will make sure that no eBay buyers are left out of pocket. Anyone who has made a purchase that hasn’t been delivered will receive a full refund.”


As our order is due till today, we have to wait till tomorrow before submitting a claim.

We get our Mail Lites from the ebay "sounds / records wholsesaler" that uses Office Depot to dropship & our own account with OD doesn't even touch their trade price & its great that we know were getting a quality product & next day delivery at a great price.

People drop shipping Babz Media items will be more exposed as they had no warning. Oh dear I dropped that drop ship word again.

Ebay and Paypal will have a big bill to pay...

No, this wasn't a drop ship, this is purely supplies.
