Today the postman brought me another big parcel. My new bike - a mid 90's Dyno Compe, I recently purchased on e-bay Germany. I was so excited, because it looked like being in real condition on all the pictures the seller sent me.
Because I don't have a car, we worked out the price for getting it shipped. I asked him to pack it well, so it will arrive safely. He agreed and said he always does a propper job on packing stuff. The whole deal seemed to be fine and he was a nice guy too. But as I know now, for sure not the brightest button that ever shone.
The parcel looked like Swiss-style cheese:
...and then I opened it up:
Finally took it out:
Broken adjusting screw:
In his own words, the wheels are in excellent condition: :2funny: :LolLolLolLol:
...sure they are!!!
I went through quite few emotions this afternoon, from ??? to >:( to :tickedoff: on to :knuppel2: followed by :uglystupid2: and "nono" finally to :LolLolLolLol:
As soon as I took all the pictures I sent him a message. But no reply so far. So now I'm into :popcorn:
My plan was to build it up and have a nice rider. Now it's a project I don't like to have.
After all I ask myself, why all this fuss? A stamp on the frame would do.
I'm just glad I didn't have the money for TA he had on offer!

Just file a claim against him
eBay are bound to find in your favour as they are very biased towards buyers, my wife had to have an item returned after over a week even though the reason given was bullshit - she sold a leather bag to some idiot who claimed the bag wasn't leather. It was, she had the receipt to prove where it was bought, links to the item online and there was a label inside the thing that said 100% leather. She had the money stolen from her PayPal to refund this shady fooker and was also made to pay return postage FFS. To top it all off, it came back with scuffs on it (possibly due to crap packing) but for all we know had been used (case continues but eBay aren't interested)
Your case looks solid, don't let this tosser have you over!
I'm not a fan of eBay

Thanks for your reply! I'm sorry to hear about the ebay-issues your wife had!
This was my first purchase from ebay ever. I sent him a message and now I have to wait if he will - and what his reply will be.
Our whole conversation is stored there, so if he turnes be an idiot I will contact ebay and state the case to them. If something is shippet via DHL, there is an automatic insurance of 500,- Euros included. But only if you pack well! Hence there is nothing else to be expected from the parcel-service but a raised middle-finger, I'm afraid. I paid via paypal as friend, so there will be no buyer protection from this side either.
