Not unless there is a way to have different names for the same store.

Here is 4 of the links I saved that day. Check the revisions, they all had price changes within hours of each other. There was over a dozen at $13, I'm sure some were duplicates from the same seller names, but most I clicked on, had different names.

Just for fun, I looked at the sellers' pages. No location info on the first two, one claims to be from Malaysia, one from Thailand. All 4 had in excess of 500 negative feedbacks in the last 12 months; best2shop15 had 741.

I'm one of the ones who "fell for" the $13 price. Chuck is now 2 days overdue. Guess I'll wait another week or so before making contact with the seller and dealing with their Chinglish evasions.

I see what you are saying, I just looked at the shipping location, and assumed that was where the seller was located.

So it looks like it is like the old catalog mail order sales system, where you sign up, and they will print catalogs with your name on them, and all sales were done by you, but they handled all the warehousing & shipping.

I think I found the warehouse involved.

The last two, both have the same address

13949 Ramona Ave Suite B
Chino, CA 91710

Even the same phone number, which also provides some interesting reading when Googled.

Below is what Ebay says. Just make sure you file a complaint before your time runs out. It definitely looks like shady business practices to me. Personally I would ask for the refund and forget about the "It's too good to be true" deal.

Agreed, I got shafted by a seller that claimed he was sending a replacement, and strung me along until after the time for filing a complaint. And, it was past the time limit for leaving feedback.

Enough of all that google work, I need to find some jaws for my Jacobs no 36 chuck.

Yep, I agree that for the seller to not admit this was a mistake was in itself a mistake, and would be good grounds to push for actual fulfillment. Hope your chucks arrive, gentlemen. Please report either way?
 
Latest reply. Finally an admission that they screwed something up.

Dear customer,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We guess that it is because our staff forgot to change the content of our listing. Sorry~
Could we give you a full refund first?
We will try to improve our service.

Waiting for your reply.
Best regards.

I left negative feedback. This allows you to initiate action via Ebay. First step is selecting if you want a refund or want the item and a message is sent to the seller . I stated I wanted the item. They have 3 days to reply and then Ebay will step in. Obviously the previous messages from them were lies and games. At least finally there is an honest reply from this seller.
 
I have a similar thing where I ordered 10 and got 1. The seller changed the listing after my order to show 1, but I have the email showing 10. They claim they are shipping the rest, but cannot provide any tracking and claim it will take weeks to arrive. I'm within 3 days now so I opened a case with ebay. We'll see what they do. At worst, I'm out $6. I figure I can at least cost them a few bucks in time dealing with it. I hate scammers.
 
Anyone remember the Bolton Tools Keyway Broach debacle on eBay?
 
The only thing that has happened on my order is my credit card was billed for the purchase,
hackles are rising and the fight will soon commence .......................
 
Thanks!
