Thread: Ebay buyer beware, do not buy these led candles

Tweet

Hi, I had these imported from china from aliexpress, I've seen the same one ebay. I can't say you won't get ones like the imagaes what in the images below but take a look at what I actually got. I image it's the standard for these pieces of rubbish.
They're called a motion activated projected candle.

Here's the typical listing may have these type of images:






Now here's the reality:









There's no bulb cover, it's part of the plastic cover, the on/off switch has been pushed in on most of them and the images are laughable whats supposed to be a tiny bat looked like moose horns.

It'd cost me more to return them than the overall price I paid! the size stated when I purchased them was wrong too.

Thought I'd give you a heads up as I've seen buyer pay over £5 for this crap and it's not worth 20p. I'd hate to see any of you ripped off

I am sorry you got ripped off besure to make a complaint w/ paypal. Ive been ripped off numerous times on ebay so its a gamble. I dont buy from any seller from asia, has a feedback score less then 99.7%, or doesnt have item location listed.

Contact paypal they will give you your money back, my last resolution using the paypal reolution center not only did I get my refund but paypal also issued me a coupon for $150 off my next purchase and my item cost was only $125.

^^I agree, check with PayPal/Ebay Buyer Protection, you should get fully reimbursed.

Also, when there's a problem & I have to return something (not just exchange), I never pay to ship it back. If it's USPS, I turn it in at my local post office & get a receipt for the broken item, then give that receipt number to the seller for them to reference on a claim =they will have to file (it's always on the seller to make sure the item gets to you safely & 'as described' in the listing). With UPS & FedEx, I let the companies know there's a problem, then let the seller know so they can file a claim & the shipping companies come & get the item.

It's always the seller's responsibility for items to get to you 100% intact.

Hi sorry I didn't buy them from Ebay I got them from Aliexpress, I've seen them for sale on Ebay though..sorry for confusing.

It'd cost me £50+ to ship them all back, I had planned to sell them on Ebay myself but I wouldn't dream of selling them lol I'd be embarrassed. I contacted the Seller and asked for 50% of my money back, they agreed and apologized saying they'd sent the wrong ones (hmm) and offered me 30% off my next order (not that I'll be ordering again) ..but I got some of my money back and I've thought of a use for the LED part.

I've had a pretty good experience on Ebay over the past 6 years, just 3 incidents which got sorted out.

Blood, that was pretty decent of paypal to give you the voucher.
