Do not get anything from ARCADELAWTON on ebay.. Hes a SCAMMER.. I won an auction for a exidy crossbow board, and he sent me a exidy board but it wasnt crossbow. Also the board was in VERY BAD shape compaired to the one in the picture...Also he packages the items very POORLY.. When i got the box, the boards were just in there with no packing just some styro-foam peanuts, and the box was half-opened.. Im in the prossess of tring to get my $ back...

I thought id never have to post something like this about someone but i have NO CHOICE!!! This is BS!!!!

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up cause i see hes selling more stuff on there!!! By at your OWN RISK with this guy!!!
 
Damn it! I just won something from him like two days ago. As soon as I won it he promptly jacked up the shipping price. The total was only $16 but it was supposed to be $6 total. Oh well, it's only $16. I hope I at least get something.
 
well, i hate to jump on these bad seller bandwagons but I had a problem with him too.

I won an Ikari Warriors marquee for $3.50 plus shipping. shipping was $15.00 but i figured he was probably going to pack the hell out of it. I never bitch about shipping unless it is just ridiculous.

10 days go buy with no message or package. I tried to contact him and got no response. I opened up a paypal dispute and he replied with a tracking number. That's all I really wanted to begin with. a couple days later, I received the marquee loose in one of those priority boxes from the post office. It only cost him $7.80 to throw it in the box. I don' t really care about the 6 bucks but I knew something is wrong with this guy so I decided to do something about it just to be a dick. At this point he had 0 feedback so you would think he had a lot to lose.

here is my email to him:
"Please refund me the money you overcharged me for shipping. It would be unfortunate to leave you a negative since you have no feedback. It would certainly make it harder for you to sell things on eBay. If you are choosing not to refund the $6.20 difference in shipping, then please explain why I was overcharged. I will be checking for a response tonight when I get home from work. If you choose to ignore me, I have no choice but to leave the negative.
thanks"

his response was classic:

"the shipping price clearly stated in the auction.
dont worry about the negative feedback if it makes you feel better go ahead.
or if you prefer give me a call to discuss it furrther."

so i thought to myself, yeah it would make me feel better

i left this:
Paid $15 to ship. Actual cost $7.80. item loose in box. no email response. :(


and it DID make me feel better.


the next day I got this:
hey Matt,
theres been a misunderstanding, whats your address again i'll send you a refund.


I let it die there. I think he currently has an 85% feedback score, which is going to cost him a lot more than 6 bucks. my advice to the OP is to leave him a neg just to fuck his shit up more. he is not going to work with you on this.
 
It's funny, I've won 100's of items on eBay and never been burned, I'm usually picky about the sellers rep but this time I got sloppy because the price was right and I caught it about 20 min before end of auction. I sniped it manually but I was the only bidder anyway. As soon as I won and he sent me a total which was $10 higher I immediately had that bad feeling. Well, we shall see, I've never given a neg feedback but I will if I have to.
 
I notice this seller had a couple of Discs of Tron board sets for auction. One went for a decent amount of coin. Hope who ever won it is satisfied.
 
yeah thats it.. The board that he sent me is a 440 board (they all say crossbow) but the roms are CMA which is COMBAT, but still there are ROMS missing and it looks nothing like the board thats in the pic. Also the boards where seperated in a box with mabey 100 sytro-foam peanuts

Heres the pics, ebay pic left , the one he sent me right.. look at the chip difference!! Also the ribbon conector is blue, its a different board then the pic

well, please neg him. he is just going to keep pulling this shit if no one leaves him feedback
 
yeah becuase the majority is marquees, i guess he cant screw that up!!! ohh hes getting neg after i get my refund!!

Oh, don't get me wrong I'm not saying he's a good ebayer. I'm just being hopeful that I don't get burned. I would totally leave him a neg if I were you.
 
Thank you VERY MUCH for posting. I had numerous items of his on my watch list. I was leery due to 87.5% after only 7 feedback. Shipping was very high as it was ($18 for the smallest board.. $10 over actual cost for most of these that slam in a small box).

Please use the NEG system on ebay -- the new rules say the seller can't retaliate, even if they try to do so in a positive ebay will remove that if necessary. This seller has no business there.
 
From the sounds of that, you paid the extra $10? No matter what sob story and lie I hear I never pay more from eBay sellers if the price it says I won it for plus the quoted shipping amount isn't the same as what they're requesting.

I never bid on auctions saying "no quotes, will determine after close" as they can charge whatever they want. But here all his items were clearly marked, so he has no right to increase the amount.

Refuse to pay the extra and file a non-performing seller complaint before he files a non-paying bidder. With his negs and other issues he will be booted (and sadly back under a new ID, but that's another issue)

If his negs and DSR get too low Ebay will drop him. Neg him this type of shit gives everyone on Epay a bad rep

it does not matter how careful someone is with a marquee. its all about the mailman. i have bought only one marquee off of ebay and it was packed very well. bubble wrap, peanuts the whole works. it showed up on my door step looking like it was dropped off a 10 story building. i opened the box and it was no shock that it was in a million little pieces. it was easy cleanup because it was still in the nice bubble wrap. so it does not matter how well something is packed. its all up to the forklift driver or delivery guy whos stuck at work an hour late on a friday. do you think he cares whats in the box. i left good feedback because it was not the sellers fault and i know the post office didnt take the box looking like that.

the mailman? am i reading this right?
 
yea i have alot of probles with the post office, ups and fedex. ups is the worst. i had a driver actually throw me a package from across my yard because i was outside and he figure i would catch it. i asked him wtf he was doing and he said "it was light so i didnt think it was breakable" it had some small expensive circuit boards in it. the seller packed them good but if the ups guy goes out of his way to destroy it then it doesnt matter and your box looks like the ups guys played soccer with it.
