hey guys im just giving you guys a warning not to buy anything on ebay from the user "besthobbysite" or similar names.....it is a SCAM.....I ordered a copterX head and tail from them and today the listing and user has disappeared. I have opened a dispute with paypal and have to wait 5 days till i can escalate it to a claim so i will keep you informed, the deal was to good to be true.

Thanks, Daniel

Hmmmm...U sure? did U contact them? Cuz I bought from them twice and everything was fine.

well the user i bought from was actually "towerpro_servo" but his email was ebay@besthobbysite.com but he just replied in the paypal dispute centre saying he was sorry that there was no recored of my purchase and asked if i wanted a refund. i replied asking for a refund.

kianhon....could you please tell me the exact username of the guy you bought off?
there is a username "besthobbysite" who is a power seller and feedback more than 5000, i think this is the legitimate seller, there are others called "besthobbysite-au" and "besthobbysite4uk" ....i think those are dodgy ones.
Its all a bit fuzzy right now but hopefully ill get my refund.

Thanks, Daniel

I warned you remember? Just kidding The two listings were still there when I just checked - the $70.84 one and the $85.01 one. I still think you'd be better going to somewhere like http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/in...oducts_id=1847, even though a little more expensive. There's some good feedback about their service over at rcgroups - fairly quick delivery and well packaged.

BTW legine, if you're after any other belt parts I've been buying spares from an Aussie ebay'er and his service has been great. Postage is so cheap on most items I often buy just one thing at a time and not worry about the extra $2. PM me if you want more info. Know a good store for Tower Pro sg90's too.

Sorry I donno wats their username, bought from them a month or two ago. But I'm sure I bought from the powerseller.

Read that again to yourself and analyse what exactly the proposed 'seller' said.....in other words...
"Sorry...you didn't buy a thing from me....but I'll give your cash back if ya want.. "..
Man ...is the world so clogged with dogdy people that people don't even realize when they are being 'had' ??
I've had nothing but good luck with it so far and will be carrying out another buy here in the next little bit...two purchases so far..from the good guys on THIS site with no hassles at all.
You need to really inspect your seller before you even think about buying online. I lookup the person long before I hit that "Send Amount" button...
Better safe then sorry.

well i think i just made a much bigger deal out of this than necessary, i just got my refund....i actually think all three "besthobbysite" users are the same, they just have different users for diff countries "besthobbysite-au" "besthobbysite4uk" and "besthobbysite" (US).
I dont know why the item disappeared, but im just glad i got my refund.

Thanks, Daniel
