Seller cancelled trade after i brought the item for sale .

Trade Me probably can't give you any answers. It's between you and them. If you don't get any replies  there is nothing you can really do except leave the appropriate feedback and move on I'm afraid. 

Kia Ora wardukw,

Sorry to read that trade fell through on you,

You can file a Community watch on the listing bringing this to TradeMe's attention, the products aren't in hand but drop shipped showing a 19 - 26 days shipping timeframe for this listing, going by previous and recent feedback one could be waiting a lot longer. It's not likely you will receive an answer to questions asked if you aren't receiving reply emails. If the Seller can't fulfill the Free Shipping as advertised then this shouldn't be listed as such and if the item is Out of stock at the plant then it shouldn't be listed at all. - Cheers.

Thanks guys for the reply ... I wasn't really expecting Trademe to jump on this dude as like Callum said ,,, but man it's a damn annoying thing to have to deal with when this model is the cheapest on the planet ..this is checked ,,and as this was going to be a xmas gift to myself i was seriously looking forward to it ,,now this happens and what's really got me annoyed was there's zero explanation for it .. that's the part i'm most peeved about with this trade .

I wouldn't have minded waiting for this to come from China ,,its to good a deal and even tho it's not stated that it would come from China i'd be pretty sure it is a Hobbyboss is a Chinese company and two and two make four ..,,now how and where do i find this Community watch posting ? 

Cheers 

Phill 

Kia Ora Phill,

I definitely hear you there!

Save yourself a search to your Favourites so you are emailed as/if another one is listed by a different Member. - One never knows.

Community watch is found at the very bottom of the Listing page prior to the 'Sellers other listings' widget. 

Example:

Another scout around NZ HobbyBoss stockists may be beneficial also. - Cheers.

Just to add for you Phill,

Drop shippers must clearly state on their Listings where the item is coming from and the expected shipping duration. - I note the Listing has neither though states 'Auckland NZ Base' which is extremely misleading when all of their products take the same 19 - 26 days shipping. - This particular item also states a quantity of 10+ items therefore as you had purchased & paid it may be worth filing a Dispute even though you have been refunded without explanation, it appears several breaches may potentially be at play here and well worth TradeMe investigating this further. - Cheers.

Hello S ...Thanks you muchly ,, i followed your suggestion and lodged with the Report this listing section,,, i did say about the amount of kits available and the fact when i brought one it got cancelled  shortly afterwards ,, that alone tells me the seller hasn't got the kits and his connection in China either messed it up or his credit is in the toilet and they wouldn't send him the model .. in all the years i've been with Trademe this is a first and it's only the second time i have left a negative feedback on any trade i've had ..the first one was so long ago i don't even remember what it was for lol .  

Kinda want to buy it to see what will happen. Are you keen wardukw? I can resend to you on arrival in the unlikely event the seller actually sends it. Might pay to be aware that shipping times seems more like over 30 days, rather than the 7-15 stated in the description, if that's an issue for you. 

The Gallery views all state 19 - 26 days, going by feedback reviews I too get the feel it potentially could surpass the 30 days - One of those to start a dispute for Buyer Protection on the 29th day if no receipt yet just incase.😊

I would try askng a question on the auction, just to see if you do get any reply. I find some traders poor communication post sale but do actually answer auction questions

Yes, there has been an unanswered question on the item for a few days. Not sure if it's from Phill or someone else.
