Thank you for posting this and warning potential buyers about this scam seller. I have had sellers on the platform try to scam me a several times over the last 10 years. Ebay has been very good about standing behind me as a buyer when this kind of seller behavior is pointed out to them. I have had to open over a dozen cases with bad sellers, and I have been found in favor of and fully refunded every single time by Ebay. In several of those cases, Ebay has even removed the seller from the platform entirely after the case has closed in my favor. Never be afraid to stand your ground over a sketchy transaction with a dishonest seller.
Remove the spool. There's a brass nut that holds the rotor to the body of the reel. Tighten it down and a small screw to keep it in place. Then put the spool back on.
Iv had a few thing sent that where faulty... messaged sellers and they either don't reply or tell me to get it repaired somewhere... The ones that get me are the free postage, where I pay for the return postage... how when its free...? I even had 1 seller say I was being racist... how can I be racist when Iv never met them or seen a picture of them..? I try to avoid any seller that has anything remotely Chinese sounding eg.. Happy Tiger etc... they're proper ignorant them...
if the seller says to pay for return postage back wait till you can ask eBay to take over and they will refund you the money as i had a seller try that and in the end i got a full refund
I sold 2 bite alarms other week as I upgraded them and guy got back in touch and had a chat and I offered to pay £30 refund back to him to get them repaired and he was ok with that even sent me the damaged list,saves having bad feed back from on my account
They finally refunded me. Just seemed like a lot of hassle for a cheap reel. I used to make a living on Ebay but unfortunately, due to new rules being implemented constantly by eBay and the foreign power sellers completely taking over the site, sadly the flea market of old has long gone.
@@grumpywelshman1 Ah excellent. Yea i've been online selling since early 2000's. made a living selling online for 25 years now! Still run an eBay shop but mostly custom 3d prints that the Chinese can't supply at a decent time.
@@grumpywelshman1 If there a business they cannot refuse, just open it on order details. Say it was defective. ebay will automatically open the return and they will pay the return label aslong as you put defective
To be fair, I like buying cheap reels and rods just to see what I get. Not all my gear is cheap, belive me. I've bought some Star 20 reels for £7 posted and I really like them. I also bought a Shakespeare omni spinning reel for £14 and it is an excellent reel.

Done that. It sounds like the inside of the reel is smashed. I shook the reel and bits fell out when I removed the handle. It's fooked.

Happening more and more. You can pretty much guarantee 'new' items will turn up broken.
🤯 crazy. Won't be buying from them

That is fair enough but offering a pittance to repair something that cost a tenner is a little daft.
Have you opened an eBay case? Fellow welshman here and seasoned eBay seller. I can help if you need!

Return it?
Tried but they are making any excuse not to have it returned, or refund, or replace... All for the sake of a tenner.
@@grumpywelshman1ebay has helped me get a refund on something similar.
@@grumpywelshman1 Can they refuse? If you've shown pictures and videos -wont ebay decide ?
