neil subwax is the only guy that i've ever had bad feeling with, it all started
with him wanting me to paint some of his bikes, fook me the emails went on and on
with him questioning my ability and knowledge, one question after the other, i just felt he
was undermining my knowledge, in the end i told him to fook off and pay his over inflated
prices from the states, his relpy was fine your agressive and i dont want to deal with you ;D
well thank fook for that then, one strange bloke :idiot2:
-
it looks like ebay just kicking up a fuss trying to scare peeps into not buying off him outside of ebay the greedy b,stards , hes probably doing deals privately

Aye, probably right there ;)
Certainly reads that way.........
Ahh well fook him - he hasn't got any goose stuff for sale anyway :LolLolLolLol:
-
Hmmm seems strange, i never dealt with him outside of the ebay rules ::)
-

agree 100%,
he's posted this on the museum, looks like Ebay are fooked off and they've decided to make it very difficult for him.
"Guys - more Ebay / Paypal grief for me:
They have suspended my account while they investigate the items I have for sale are actually mine. They are, of course, all mine, however Paypal need to verify that. They are asking the monumental task of wanting me to provide a Paypal receipt for every frame I am now selling. I have thousands of transactions over the years that I have been collecting, and providing this is no small task.
I ask everyone who has bought something from me to be patient - I have sent most of my parts out, the rest will be sent within the next few days. If you need to contact me, please pm me.
To quote from the email I have received from Ebay:
"Please understand we're not accusing you of dishonest behaviour. Our top priority is to keep our online community safe, which is why we'd like to ask you for some further information. "
I am working hard to resolve this, so please be patient. This will be worted out soon, and normal service will resume."

All the stuff i was watching has been pulled???
-
Dealt with him loads over the years and never had an issue with him. Haven't chatted to him in a while but we'd chat quite a bit on MSN a few years ago.
-
i had the warning too noticed some stuff was going a bit high
shill bid ::) possibly :-\
-
Got the same email, first time i've had any contact with him personally, tbh was OK, we were bidding on a PL20, got outbid so offered us a second chance on another PL20 he had which we weren't keen on so it was then put on ebay by Subwax.
-
i got the same email from ebay ! ???
-
:-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
keeping stum about his selling otherwise i'll be getting pm's again :10_2_12:
-
ebay have cancelled stuff of mine before, and sent emails to people...
i was selling some powerwings on there, but emailing the high bidder thru ebay telling him i had the ripper f/f as well if he wanted to make an offer... ebay cancelled the powerwings and sent me a sh!tty email saying i was attempting to trade outside of ebay.
;D
-
I have deleted some of the replies, so the thread can stay on topic (you guys know which replies).
-
He's probably 'ended early' on too many items and eBay don't like too much of that. :daumenhoch:
-
I hope it was nothing to do with the PL20's, i asked him to email pics, then if we liked we were gonna bid, had no intention of doing it outside ebay, just wanted pics to see what condition was :'(

I sold a Saracen road bike on ebay recently, had it listed for £250 BIN. A lad messaged me asking if I could reduce the price and I said I would do it for £225 cash on collection (he had to collect it anyway so it saved me all their and paypals fee's).
The conversation went on for 5 or 6 messages when he told me ebay were sending him a warning with every message similar to what is written above. I told him (through ebay) that it was just ebay being pissed off cos they would miss on my fee's. I even called them greedy b@stards (through ebay messaging...lol) but they didnt pull my item, I just told the lad he was coming to collect it so I could hardly rip him off. If it wasnt as described he could walk away.
It does look like they are clamping down on this though, but as I said to him (again through ebay messaging), that it isnt illegal to deal out of ebay. I could as easily sell it to someone from work and have to pull the auction anyway. I left it up to him and he went for it when I threw in a helmet. :)
I think they monitor messages for words like 'offer' and 'outside of ebay' cos it would take forever to check every message. Just choose your wording carefully. Ebay are greedy bastards but there is no better market place to sell most items so I guess they can be!

Sounds like a top chap to me BMX and Chang...been to the garage a few times early doors on the Haro off me nut...doing radical stunts in my Mike Dominguez wig...Flip outs,Skids,bunny hops,Nasty Radness to the Chang Max and a Bottle of Tizer on the way back :crazy2:
Like I have said before don't know Neil,Never had any dealings with him....just think there is some jealous bitchy fookers in bmx that would probably say jack shit to Neil's face and proper mod arse lickers who think doing threads about SUBWAX knowing he is banned and disliked might get a themselves a few brownie points 8)

gotta agree with this 100%, his attitude is unfookinbelievafookinable, as for his feedback, ebay is quite unpersonable ya pay ya money n get ya shit job done, so no one is accusing him of being dishonest or a crook, but fook me, he is a spam javelin of the highest order.
-
Spam Javalin-Like it.
Hey Nobody got hurt,the lad can't get on here to defend himself...so what if he has some attitude I thought attitude was cool these days on the streets ?
-
theres attitude n attitude
Spam Javalin-Like it.
Hey Nobody got hurt,the lad can't get on here to defend himself...so what if he has some attitude I thought attitude was cool these days on the streets ?
as you say, he aint here to defend himself, and i dont dislike the lad by a long chalk, just stating a fact based on my dealings with him.

So apart from Spam and attitude what has he actually done?
Has he ripped anyone off ? as his ebay feedback would say he has almost 1500 positive feedbacks and has done the deals?
If he was a robbing junkie I am sure ebay would have been one of his favourite criminal haunts in order to raise sufficient funds to finance his scarface size mountains of chang and spam :)
-
like i said, he aint a crook and im not trying to put anyone off buyin anything off him on ebay, (as pointed out; his feedback speaks for itself), but outside ebay, in my experience, unless everything is going his way and he doesnt have to do a thing for you, he's happy, otherwise the attitude kicks in and ya thinkin "EH?" "WTF?"
im sayin nowt else :-X

Agreed he has an attitude,but people slanging him to get brownie points is just YAWN :)
Nobody got hurt,tons of people have got old school shit they could normally only dream of and I am sure the happy bunnies out weigh the bitchy bunnies :daumenhoch:

Yeah I heard he is even more devious as a customer than a seller :LolLolLolLol: it would only end in tears for sure ;D

Subwax, were's that yawn smiley at Dave ???
-
fok knows we need it here tho mate for sure.
just to clear things up though, i actually used to speak to neil on a regular basis on msn, but havent for an absolute age.
never had a falling out with him one way or another, never had a deal with him in regards to parts etc, so cant comment either way there.
however, he and bill dont see eye to eye for sure, and thats why he got a ban, therefore he isnt on rad anymore, well not as the user name ''subwax''
like i said in my previous post, i care as much as i know, about this ebay shananigan, but maybe asking ebay might be an idea as apposed to posting on here.
(boring smiley)
now locked!
