Chinese sellers restricted/removed?

forgotmyname

I purchase quite a bit of stuff from China. Small electronic items mainly, I noticed a few of my purchases are now blank with a message saying they removed the listing.

I can click through and see what I actually purchased but I cannot leave feedback. The items were good quality so i purchased more, have to wait and see if they arrive.

One seller has over 300,000 feedback 99.6% which is quite good for a Chinese seller where the descriptions are less than perfect.

They now only have 1 item for sale.

Anyone else had the same issues? Does the seller come back or are they likely to create new accounts?

I had it happen to me last year on an electrical item (4G router). I had to ask for my money back from eBay.

No problems since though.

Would be a shame if they don't arrive. I know it's a bit of pot luck on what the quality of the item your getting so finding a good seller is a bonus.

I wanted a load of these items also, but ordering in batches just in case they quality changes.

Wonder if its an ebay suspension or Tax/Postage issues that caused it?
But they still have a couple of unrelated items listed.

I should post a picture of my purchase list. All the blank picture boxes and messages from ebay...

Could be a problem with the items rather than the seller - copied designs etc.

They had many thousands of listings, the items i purchased are generic connectors. Not branded and no issue with them being fake/copes etc. Just random connectors.

Although some of their listings may have been fakes/copies, but i didnt trawl through their other items. Just checked they were fairly reliable and for any other connectors they had for sale.

I purchased a Ulefone Armor 5 Mobile Phone through a company called Coolicool. It developed a fault within 2 months of purchase which was diagnosed as a failed digitizer but despite it being under warranty neither company have wanted to help. In fact Coolicool told me to take it to a repairer and they would compensate me 15 US Dollars towards it.



My advice is to steer well clear of both of these Chinese companies or you will lose money. I lost £158. One company I can recommend is Bangood, they not only replace goods at their cost but also do not require the faulty item to be returned. Excellent service and one I will always use in future.

A lot of Chinese sellers are being removed as they claim they are UK sellers, and either quote a UK address which they just use for VAT registration purposes and the item still comes from China, a long time after the claimed dispatch/delivery times - or they still quote an address in China anyway!

I don't mind if the item is of acceptable quality, and the delivery times match that of one coming from China - rather than blatantly lie!

If you are talking about banggood (couldnt see anything called bangood )- I would stear well clear.

1) no address or other contact details on their website
2) vast majority of good reviews on trustpilot are from 1st time reviewers ( so smack of fakes ) ,

It's the Chinese annual holiday coming up on Jan 15th for two weeks. Although if it says listing removed, more likely to be eBay clamping down on misappropriation of location.

This thread is a year old.......


Genuineclaim..... I could buy 1000 connectors direct from Chinese sellers or for slightly more just 300 of the same part from Banggood

Yes I have used Banggood and DX and others but not that often.
