i bought my raven nexion of ebay from what seemed to be a nice guy. all the stuff was crap even though i didnt realize it at the time. so i was so happy to join my freinds on the feild.
but i did notice that the mask was soaked in paint and the hopper battery door wasnt exactly on the hopper. so i called him up(or my mom did, of coarse when i was in the shower) and he was sayin that he was busy and that he couldn't clean the mask before he sent it out and that he would replace the battery door.so i was sticking up for him then cuz he did seem like a nice guy. but after growin into the sport i realized that all the stuff was s*** but i was calm and just repaired the problems. but when i figured out that the board was stock and not a z-board that was it. so i sent him the message below

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know thats it has been around 5 months since you sold me my Raven Nexion, but I'm kind of angry to realize that you lied about the board in the hopper, it is not a z-board which you stated in the discription. But besides that you could have at least stated that the items were in used condition considering that I had to replace both the shell for the egg and the mask because they were both falling apart. Plus every single item was full of paint, if you are going to sell something clean it up, don't send it looking like a peice of crap. And the gun, when I received it I had to replace every o-ring because they were all damaged and not sealing. I think that what you did was wrong and that you shouldn't take advantage of people new to the sport since they obviously can't prove what your saying is correct. Anyway since every thing is worth about twice as much as when you sold it to me and the mask is in the trash, I guess you could call this venting or something.

i just got tired of hearing stories like this, and did it piss me off when i knew it happened to me

Don't expect much buying anything online.

[pbrascal37]

It's not ebay's fault that crappy sellers sell on their website
there are alot of people on ebay who are great sellers, when I was buying my Tes I purchased a red to black one but they didn't have anymore so they threw in a free NXE barrel condom and gave me free shipping on a black to blue one, that was something they really didn't need to do and it was on ebay

[wordf0o]

Ebay still sucks because they don't do anything to insure that you don't get crap. I don't want to pay extra for insurance either...Its such BS.

[Brad_VG]

I have never experienced any troubles with ebay until this last douche bag from Punisher Paintball attempted to rip us off....last time I deal with that idiot.

[wordf0o]

Punisher PB tried to rip you off? How?

[senghing27]

Yeah, some people on Ebay can be such *****,, but hey other people, do make ebay a great place to sell/buy stuff. Heck man, i sold a sweet tippmann 98 custom to a ne2wb player, he's grown into the sport and tricked it more than what i already done. And he's also a member on here.

Did you have a pic of the gear? Sounds like you went on blind faith which is a :finger: when buying online.

Did he have a decent amount of feedback?

[spartan72]

Well the best thing that you could do is leave behind a really bad feedback rating so future buyers will be aware of him. Thats the same thing that happened to me when I bought my mini orracle from a guy in Florida. Im pretty much spending more money on fixing it than upgrading it because of that *******, but anyways I know exactly how you feel.

yes and yes he has 100% positive feedback

i did not no that z-boards dont have speed adjusters on them or that sitting paint can be dangerous on a mask,

and i really wanted to to say **** you and hope you enjoy pissing many other people off in the future but i did no if my paypal account would be suspended due to abuse or some thing

now that i look back at it i realize how f'n big his ego was he was like "yea i get all kinds of **** for free all the time, have you ever heard of team mutany?"

im like"no"

and anyway he sent me a used battery door

An electronic Raven Nexion with LCD screen, 4 adjustable firing modes (semi-auto, 3-round burst, 6-round burst, and automatic), and a sexy blue and silver satin finish. Also included is a smoke-colored EvolutionX Egg hopper with a Z-board, Dye Invision mask, Silver gun case for the marker, original marker box, extra silver-fade barrel, CO2 tank, Raven barrel cover, and an HPA tank cover by American Paintball Supply.

thats the discription i didnt realize the "EvolutionX Egg hopper with a Z-board"

and the "extra silver-fade barrel" was a stock of of some other spyder

co2 tank was covered in duct-tape residue.

eBay=eAwesome

I just bought an EvoII on there for $40 bucks with shipping.
Works great and Im so happy.:D

[kevkid]

i just got a revy since my egg sucks and the revy will be more sturdy on anything

eggs are made out of cheap plastic and all the weight is prying at the front

[Paintballshurt]

A friend of mine tried to sell his cocker on ebay about a year ago. The person who bought the cocker called my friend when he recieved it and told my friend the gun was not working. So, my friend told the kid to send it back and he would fix whatever was wrong with it.

A few days later, the cocker arrives at my friend's house in the steel case that he sold the cocker with. But wait! The case is full of dents and chocolate stains! Then, my friend goes to air up the cocker and it works fine with absolutely no leaks. Then he shoots it, and still fails to see a problem. In the end, my friend kept his cocker and refunded the kid's money since the kid obviously did not know how to work the gun.

Total number of times I used the word "friend" - 7

Well it did have a picture, and it sounds like you went in half way blind. You gotta read the whole thing and not just the title or just the first sentence, did he start that any of it was new?

When using ebay you gotta reseach the items, and just not buy it from joe blow. Unless he has extreme good feedback and make sure you know what your buying. I did a lot of researching and stuff before i got my equipment. And ebay for me if heaven, its the greatest place to get things. Outta like 100 buys and sells ive only had one transaction go bad. And it wasnt me it was the other guy. I didnt care cause it was only 5 dollars. Anyhow ebay is bomb.

[igota98custom]

Ebay is really nice, sometimes. You can usually find good deals on it, but some of the sellers on there are out to scam you. Just watch out who you buy from and you shouldn't have a problem.

[TiPpYsGaLoRe]

Always look for:
-Good Grammar

-Good Feedback, a lot of it is even better

-Controlled use of punctuation

-Words and pictures that tell you he/she knows what he/she's talking about(IE: A person that says he selling an Evo II but has a picture of a revvy is generally not trustworthy).

it was a package photo which is harded to depict details in. and in the photo exvery thing was nice no craks, paint,etc.

[Asian Invasion]

Well did he state used or new? And unfocused pictures usually means they are hiding something.
