Blacksmith purchase question

[bhellman75]

No, I rushed because it looked like a good deal.  But it also identifies the piece by number, so it isn't just any Playmobil blacksmith shop.  If you say 3442, it has to be 3442 in my book.

I messaged him asking for pics of the actual product.

I'll share when I get them.

At first glance the listing seems designed to lure the collectors or fans who don't know about the reissued set. If he has photos of the actual item, he should have included them rather than just tell buyers to ask for them. On the other hand, he could just be lazy or not wanting to pay extra gallery fees. But to use the old set number and not once mention the DS one is highly suspicious and deliberately misleading, if indeed this is set 6329 he's selling. The number would be clearly marked on the item when he originally received it. Maybe he has opened it and placed the contents in a new unmarked bag.

You paid well in excess of the purchase price it will be when it becomes available in the US and that must hurt. It happened to me a few times when I was first starting to buy Playmo on eBay too.

I hope the seller has a conscience and that you have success getting your money back.


edit:
Just noticed this near the bottom of the page so I think you will be OK if you act quickly.

I am a professional seller complying all EU laws,
you can cancel the deal and send back goods if you are not
satisfied ! Money back !

good luck getting your refund, I didnt know the DS set was available already in germany.

I'd gues that even when imported you could get it a lot cheaper in a month or so. I'd advice to ask a playmofriend from germany to help you out.

Did u paid paypal? Just do a claim to them and explain the Situation. Paypal and Ebay are teh same company.. Tell them its a missleading add and offer.. Tell them the Seller dont answer ur question poperly.. u should be able to get it back.. Buyer protection..

by the way this seller is famous to sell DS addons..

Dear schupf18,

Is this really the vintage 3442 set or is it the newly released blacksmith shop, 6329?

I told him this was misleading and asked for a refund.

A fraudulent listing. 

Ebay buyer protection and paypal's policies will be your "friend" in this one.



If he says he's going to be assembling one today, then he must have them.

As for the weeks of delivery, that's surface mail.

but to be honest, when i see the listing again.. issnt it a bit ur own fault? he wrote that he got 3-4 of it? that would gimme to think straight away..
