  • Or was there was a pricing error. Go figure. Did anyone get the item?

    • I've received positive feedback already but item is not sent yet

  • Report it to EBay and the seller will receive negative ratings in the algorithms

    At least they are offering a refund and not running away with the money lol

  • Ah PayPal "pay after delivery". Money won't even leave my account!

  • I just received a message from Globalshoppingnow:

    Good day!

    Thank you for your purchase.It's our honor to serve you.

    so sorry our system system was attacked by hacker yesterday,that our price and inventory were in mess.
    many items of the listings actually stoped production in a long time ago.

    when we found the order,we have e-mail you as soon as possible.
    I totally understand your feeling.
    I will be unhappy,if I have paid for the order but I can not get it.
    so sorry for this situation again.

    I beg for your forgiveness and hope you could forgive us.
    so sorry but please understanding.

    could we full refund you now?

    also I have marked you as gold VIP of our store and you will get more discount in in our every future orders.
    Hope you can understand and forgive us.

    Sorry again for the inconvenience and your understanding would be highly appreciated.

    Waiting for your reply.

    Have a nice day.
    Best wishes to you and your lovely family.

    Yours sincerely,
    Lilliam

  • What is the poll for? Is there a difference between Price Error and accepted refund? Also sale honoured and received item are not the same thing?

    • cant change it

  • Like all "pricing errors" we only know after the event.

    Worse than getting a "refund" is finding out that the vendor ships the item and we didn't buy because we thought they wont honour the deal.

    Sometimes we get lucky, sometimes not.

    This is what they tell me

    as listed above

    Damn "hackers" so much worse than an Ozbargainer!!

    They have marked 3 items as sent for me. Which have all gone up in price by around $30. But none of the items were the ones oz-bargained.

      Yeah same here, fingers crossed!

  • For those who can't work out how to leave feedback for a cancelled transaction, follow this link:
    http://my.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyeBay&CurrentPage=My…

    You'll need to wait 7 days to provide negative feedback.
    Also get in touch with eBay via web chat here:

    Explain the policy violation with topfaithshop and globalshoppingnow and how they would not honour your sale after you already made payment. eBay assured me they are going to penalise the seller and escalate the policy violation.

    I was also sent a copy of the "sorry we were hacked email".

    So I enquired about the offer of "Gold vip" discount and they replied that they'd apply a 15% discount on my next purchase.

    Just thought I'd share.

    • is Gold vip through their online store?

      • Yes, through their eBay store.
