[Selling]  [Middleman Service] For international buyers

vaune I'll clarify to every one of your statements, even though I think you may not believe it.

My attitude does intend to get off at times base upon my mood, and your getting all on me for not
sending exact & precisely on that date in which I claim to have sent the package to you. Are you really that upset with a shorten delay for me sending the package to you, from what I previously claimed? You really are a high expectation buyer for me to ship it precisely to what I've claimed, I mean you even wanted to know the receipt to be sure. If I would've sent it on a Monday or longer instead of the previous Friday to what I've claimed, then you would have a good reason to complain about it, but getting all high expectations on this is asking too much. As for the shipping quotes from what I've claimed, I was trying to measure the weight of the package with different packaging styles or in this case the shipping price was differ with each different way of packaging, either a box, normal packaging, or a parcel; in which I've decided on the parcel shipping because it was the cheapest price that I got to. As for my claim of going to the post office to measure the weight, I didn't go to the post office. Instead I use my own measurement scale I've bought along with the USPS site to measure the weight of the package along with the differ way of shipment and the cost. I was even kind enough to let you only send payment of $8.00 (USD), for the shipping to you instead of the full price of $18.20. I've paid for the rest of the $10.20 shipping cost. I want to know something, how did you even manage to somehow know the plastic generations weight, where did you get your information on the weight of plastic beyblades to result in your estimation for the shipping cost? As for the Zeus G, I just wanted a used condition one for battle, that's my only explanation, and I didn't thought of the equal trade at the time. Also the only things that make Gigars G & Zeus G different are the Spin Gears or Customize Gears, in which Takara brand had; while Hasbro gave Gigars G & Zeus G normal right spin engine gears with CEWs.

Now for your statement on me actually forging the eBay listing for the lot with the seller. Here's my only clarification on your statement on that problem with my replies to the seller's messages on eBay message. If your still bothered by this issue, then you may contact the eBay seller herself (http://myworld.ebay.com/margharsh) to make your complaints to her as well, and not just me:

Good day th!nk, thank you for your post and so sorry for the late reply.

1) The tip doesn’t have another bearing inside. http://www.flickr.com/photos/94789665@N0...otostream/
When I tried to open the shaft to check if everything is intact, everything just fall apart. The metal rod was nowhere to be found. Likewise I didn’t see the small bearing welded to the metal rod since there is no rod in the first place. The tip spitted into two as shown in the above image. The tip is quite loose by the way.

Below is an image clarifying the terminology that I’m using; I refer the metal rod as metal rod, shaft as the thingy surrounded by the spin gear casing. http://www.flickr.com/photos/94789665@N06/9063224071/

2) I guess my expectation of a middleman is indeed far from reality. My apologies!

3) I respect and thank you for your opinion on the Zeus/Gigars thingy.

4) Yep, no one seems to notice that. Thank you for reading my posts in a detailed manner! However, I disagree that the shipping price stuff could be an innocent mistake.

5) I don’t have much strong evidence as well. Just let it be. Thank you for your opinion still!

Good day, Mark. So sorry for the late reply.

1) I’m not really that upset with your “shorten delay in sending the package”; my concern is that you only shipped the package after I asked for the receipt. If I didn’t ask for the receipt back then, would you still “remember” to ship the package? What if you “forget” to ship it at the end of the day? Judging from my impression of your character, I wouldn’t rule out that possibility..

Also, if possible could you explain why didn’t you reply my PM regarding the receipt even though you were online almost that entire week? http://www.flickr.com/photos/94789665@N06/8804695759/

Wasn’t quite sure what you’re saying here; FYI, you claimed to send my package on May 01, which is a Wednesday (Not a Friday). I asked you for the receipt on May 02 but didn’t get any reply from you for a week. It is only up till May 10 that you replied, with a receipt dated May 03.



2) In response to the second part of your reply, regarding shipping cost..

Are you sure you want the above quote to be your clarification?
a) From what I have known, there are two types of postal services; flat rate service and shape/weight service. I believe that the shipping price of the shape/weight service is determined by weight primarily; you don’t get to choose box or parcel, there is only package (Please correct me if I’m wrong here)

b) FYI, in our first few PMs, you quoted 32USD for a box, 27USD for a parcel http://www.flickr.com/photos/94789665@N06/8815063922/. However, the eventual, full and exact cost of shipping that parcel is 18.20USD. Mind explaining the difference of ~9USD? Why is it that the shipping cost still differs by that much despite your attempt in measuring the weight of the package with different packaging styles?
FYI, 9USD is equivalent to the price of shipping a package of four ounces to Singapore. Four ounces is equivalent to 113 gram. An error of 113 gram? Perhaps it’s time to get a new weighing scale?

c) If you did buy your own scale from USPS, why didn’t you use it to verify the weight of the individual bey stated in my weight list and provide me with the verification of the total weight? I did request you to do that. http://www.flickr.com/photos/94789665@N06/8816170150/

Oh, I really thought that this is one of your business strategies; you offer the reduced shipping cost as long the client sent the payment for the items and US shipping cost. http://www.flickr.com/photos/94789665@N06/9066311312/ (Again, please correct me if anyone perceived it differently.) Didn't know you're so kind to me..

Is that really important or is this one of your attempt to deviate the focus here? Please answer this question; what is your purpose for asking this? And don't worry, you will get your answer shortly.



3) In response to another part of your reply, regarding Zeus G/Gigars G trade..

(Jun. 05, 2013  12:13 AM)Starlight25 Wrote: As for the Zeus G, I just wanted a used condition one for battle, that's my only explanation, and I didn't thought of the equal trade at the time.
Hmm.. FYI, I believe that that Zeus G isn’t used. There are no signs of scratches or damages on the AR.

I don’t quite understand this sentence or the purpose of this sentence. Are you implying that the Gigars and Zeus (both from Takara) differ only in terms of their CG while the Gigars G and Zeus G (from Hasbro) have normal EG with CEWs? If that’s the case, why would you want that Zeus G (from Hasbro) since it has normal EG as your Gigars G (I supposed your Gigars G is also Hasbro’s).



4) What do you mean by this anyway? Your attitude does intend to get off? I must declare that my proficiency in English is quite limited. There might be instances whereby I might mis-interpret certain sentences, phrases or words. Pardon for that.

P.S. Your clarifications are not for me to believe; they are for your potential clients. And I would also appreciate if you could segregate your subsequent replies into paragraphs; paragraphs are easier to read, in my opinion.

Mark asked me how did I even manage to somehow know the plastic generations weight? Well, unlike someone, I don't have the ability to simply pluck figures from the sky ):

Hope the following images clarify his doubts. And also to anyone who is interested in knowing:
