Several weeks ago I ordered a Star Wars Blockade Runner from
the web-site Yardsellr.com. First of all, I had to contact the seller a week
after I placed the order to remind him to ship it. He claimed the site is not
set up as it should be and that's the reason he didn't "even know it had
been sold". Second of all, the item I received was not what I was looking
for. I wanted a plastic model kit (one that must be assembled), not a
pre-assembled toy. I have contacted the seller and Yardsellr to say that
although I did not feel the site or
the seller was being dishonest, that the ad was sufficiently vague as
to cause me to make a costly error in ordering the item. Although Yardsellr agreed that the ad was vague, the
response was not satisfactory. Yardsellr basically said (twice), the
misunderstanding was my fault as the seller, at the end of his ad stated that if I had any questions, please feel free
to ask. The ad, as he placed it, is as
follows "This sale is for a Star Wars Blockade Runner, my favorite of all
the ships in the Star Wars Universe. Really hate selling this one. It is unopened and a great piece for anyone.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask". From the ad and the
postage size picture of the item I was certain that the
item was a plastic model kit and therefore did
not ask the seller other questions as Yardsellr is stating I should have.
Basically I am not doing this to be difficult or to receive some kind of refund.
I am doing this to get some kind of statement from Yardsellr that in the
future, sellers are required to be more clear of what they are selling,
specifically if an item is a "collectable" and therefore not to be
considered as anything else. I do not feel that just stating in the ad that if
you have any questions, please ask, is some kind of legal band-aid that
should absolve the seller or company of any wrongdoing. Everyone who saw the ad
told me that they could assume that the ad was for a model kit, not some toy or
"collectable" as they call it. I think the site assumes that
potential buyers "know" that they are selling
"collectables" and not anything else. I believe they should make their
ads more clear as to what exactly they are selling. Caveat Emptor Buyer
beware at Yardsellr!!!

60% success rate in getting what you want?

Just by you saying a 60% rate on getting what you want, must mean you are a person who files a lot of complaints and games the systems or has the worse luck in getting products to your satisfaction, I have to side that you are trying to game the system.

Rarely Disappointed

Yes, I have many consumer sites bookmarked and just last year I got what I wanted 60% of the time when I disputed. Refunds, free food, Gift Cards..you name it. I carefully document my issues (pictures, witnesses, copies of letters and E-Mails). My money is hard earned. I will not let wrongs go unrighted and I will get what I pay for. When you buy something and you find its not what you wanted do you say "oh well, I'll just make due"? I recently made a purchase on-line and got the wrong product. Turns out the site had the wrong picture of the product posted. By bringing it to their attention I got a refund, 10% off my next purchase and a big thank you from the company. I actually saved them money by letting them know of the problem. Who knows how many people would have gone thru the same issues if I hadn't brought up the error?

" First of all, from your post "Is the seller responsible for your incorrect assumptions?". The answer is YES! "
Then you should prepare yourself for many more disappointments to come. Better bookmark this site.

First of all, from your post "Is the seller responsible for your incorrect assumptions?". The answer is YES!
Second, READ the original complaint. I never requested or received a refund!
Third, I worked in retail for 9 years so you are correct. I do make people in retail "cringe". Why? Because I refused to get ripped off. I know their tricks and will fight tooth and nail to receive what I deserve. Have a nice day.

" From the ad and the postage size picture of the item I was certain that the item was a plastic model kit and therefore did not ask the seller other questions as Yardsellr is stating "
So, you were "certain". It's pretty obvious now that you were incorrect. Is the seller responsible for your incorrect assumptions?
" Everyone who saw the ad told me that they could assume that the ad was for a model kit, not some toy or "collectable" as they call it."
Really? The ad you quoted said absolutely nothing about a model kit. You and "everyone" should know what it means when you assume. The obvious fact is that your assumptions about what was NOT mentioned in the ad were incorrect. While, what the ad actually said was, in fact, accurate. In other words, your complaint is that the ad did not tell you that this was not a model kit? Do you really think advertisers should have to list everything that an item is not?
For sale : 2001 Volkswagen. This vehicle is not Maserati. It does not fly. You cannot travel through time with this vehicle. This vehicle cannot be operated by remote control. Most importantly, for those impaired by assumption, it is not a model kit.
I think the seller is going far out of their way to refund you on this. You're the type of customer that makes the retail world cringe.
