I have now successfully been banned by both 4into1 and now Niche cycles on eBay!

Anyone else this much trouble??? Haha.

4into1 I requested to return a horribly pitted airbox that’s stated “high quality” in the description. Littered with pits. I refused to pay return shipping for the junk part they sent. Banned!! Thought it was kinda funny.

Niche - I told them their master cylinder rebuild kit leaked, didn’t ask for a return or refund cause it was installed for a month or so before I actually put fluid in it, also let em know their Xs2 kick start was a joke, bent to heck after a few kicks and they never responded to my original emails last year. - banned!!

I’m getting good at this!
 
Did you leave eBay feedback in either of these cases, and if so, was it neutral or negative?

Can you provide a link to the airbox listing?
 
No I did not.

Told them the box had pits, unfinished areas of the molding and mounting holes that are in total a half inch out.

Not what I would call “high quality” - more like it’ll work quality, nothing like oem or Japanese reproduction.

Ty also stated that these defects could be be seen in the photos they have listed. - I asked him to point them out. He refused.

Sorry for your trouble. Lalonde banned me years ago and tried to coerce the Executive Director of the Yamaha 650 Society to remove me, as tech advisor,
threatening to withdraw his ads. We were only breaking even on them, but Lalonde was evidently unaware that he had no money leverage. The ED phoned, asked what happened, realized that I'd mentioned not a word about the Society or my role in it. Said I'd be more than happy to be officially bounced and continue to write under the title of my "successor", one Donald Fuqua D'uque. would have been fun, but ED didn't like that.Response to Lalonde: You don't tell us what to do. Piss off.

This is a second hand airbox, right?
When not happy with a seller on ebay I always give negative feedback before making a complaint. If you make a complaint first you cannot leave negative feedback. It also gives you a bargaining chip: Tell them you'll revise the feedback if a positive solution is reached.

I've been banned from two two sellers in Oz, Geoffs and some other mob in QLD. Geoffs didn't appreciate me complaining about spokes having too much thread. The other mob sent me a cam chain that had to be broken to fit, and neither they nor anyone else, stocked a link that would fit.

That's why I shop with China, they bend over backwards to make you happy and avoid negative feedback.
 
Gents, if this site offered badges of honor I'd nominate you. The ethically challenged (moral morons) can refuse our business and cause inconveniece at worst, but they can't stop us from telling truth. Keep on keeepin' on!
