Never Trust This Seller >>>> (Faibs)

[chip'ndale7276]

This guy sold the K850i from Nov.25.2007 ............ Today when i try to take the picture from fone, the lens cover can't work properly then i call this guy to ask about what is going on. He says that "i need to do the firmware upgrade for the camera." He must be kidding. After that, I does ask him and never get any reply back. So everybody pls don't trust this seller. thk.

[faibs]

I replied to everyone of your messages. I am here, nothing to hide.
There is nothing wrong with this phone. Other members were present when I used it.
Happy Hunting.

[bLuPhYrE]

uhh rofl this is pretty funny watching you two

[faibs]

I am having fun too:)
Ive sold many things for years on this forum. This lady needs to see a doctor.

[chip'ndale7276]

I did ask u for possible solutions in several times, but u even not get back to me. U r mean and not reponsible for ur clients. U r fully not in trust.

[faibs]

EDIT:
So, being the nice guy that I am, I researched this lady's issue and apparently it has happened to others.
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Sony-Ericsson-K850-Review-review-r_1846-p_5.html
It didn't happen to me during the 30 hours that I had it.
I dunno, maybe she dropped it or had sex with it, I dunno
Either way, contact Sony, but like I said, I used the camera, worked flawlessly for me, sent MMS, facebook pics and what not.
Good luck.
Like I said, trying to help, sorry that I work at nights and couldn't be assisting you at my place of business, like I told you I was.

JUST FOUND
It apparently is a FIRMWARE ISSUE!
please update firmware to fix issue

I am providing support. What else could you possibly want from a CLASSIFIED SALE, I am not future shop lady, I do not have my own return policy.



Lady you sent me text messages from the Rogers 2 way text message website, I returned, I am sorry you don't know how to use your electronic devices properly, hence the phone.


in re. to your edited first post.
I tried to give you suggestions.
Like I said the camera worked 100 percent fine with me, I have pictures to prove it.
I was trying to be kind until you blew up online.
The end.

[SkyDemon]

I deal with Faibs before, and I got no problems with the phone he sold me, he was very friendly and easy to deal with. As for the phone, its not really his fault since its really SE's own software problem and he didn't exprienced it before he sold the phone to you, maybe next time buying a phone should do more research first, especially the just released models. ;)

[Evil Techie]

I believe the seller has been providing the necessary assistance
so the responsibility should not be fully on the seller
however, if faibs has the pictures to prove that all of the phone's features functioned as intended then please post them up or PM me with them

Thank you

in the meanwhile, please refrain from posting in each other's threads other than this one

Seller's response seems pretty reasonable to me. It is true that SE's phones can be pretty buggy @ launch. Sometimes it takes them a couple firmware updates to get the basic right.
Buyer can consider visiting Hofo or Esato if you need further technical support.

[faibs]

Is this really your reply to my aid?

[700mb80min]

Why not simply state ( buyer ) what you need to make the transaction worth it by working with the seller so you are both happy. Maybe a PM with some help with the firmware installation ? This bantering is childish and not needed on the forum .:)

[rubberband]

Try writing coherent English in response to the seller. He comes across as making sense, whereas you sound like a whiny, illiterate 12 year old. If you expect to be taken seriously both by future sellers (who, if responsible, will be searching for your previous deals) and by the moderators here on RFD try acting like an adult.

I'm not trying to pick on you, but people who act like you are at the moment are a big part of the reason it can be so hard to convince people to ship their items. I don't live in Toronto, so this can get annoying.

Grow up!

Some people are from foreign countries hence their inability to communicate well English. From what I can tell and my past PM's exchanged with chip'n'dale, this is my opinion. It isn't because she wants to convey her thoughts like a 12 year old. I'm sure if she spoke in her native language we wouldn't get that idea, so I think telling people to "grow up" is already immature on your part.

Although I do agree that professionalism is key when doing shipping deals, you just have to trust your gut and do background research. Some scammers can be just as convincing, and that's what gets them the free $.

Come to think of it, chip'n'dale, you should do your own research on the phone before buying it. We all know the K850i is riddled with firmware bugs so you ought to do a bit of digging before literally complaining to faibs forcing him to feed you a solution. You really remind me of a "Sponsored Poster" here who isn't quite the model seller, she's also a woman, Chinese... but I won't disclose her nickname on these boards.

[FlintBlade]

Is this really your reply to my aid?

Don't sweat it man... some people are tools. She probably hates the phone and expects a full refund lol.

[faibs]

Thanks for the support guys.
Ive sent a pic taken from that very k850 to the mods to prove my 'innocence'

*this too shall pass*

[aimfox]

np faibs, good to have someone here honest and replying back on the thread

[bLuPhYrE]

thread should just be locked =\

[GBA]

faibs still has that negative from the (apparent) buyer of hell. unless the mods can reverse that upon seeing his innocence, he still pays for the deal in terms of a -1 to feedback.

thanks for pointing that out,
can this be changed?

chip'ndale7276...yet another for my kill file.

[fiercetiger]

Aren't there rules against posting things like this?
I could understand if the seller did nothing and did not answer calls/emails and completely ignored the person but they obviously did everything in there power to help them out.

This is RFD. You are buying a product at your own risk whether it is brand new or used. If the product is brand new/sealed it is not the sellers fault if it does not work.

I think this issue should be reviewed by a moderator and the negative feedback removed.

[ben_liu]

Faibs: Don't trust this girl to mark any of your English essays

lol...

good luck with ur case

thanks, im waiting for one of them to do so. this is taking too long.

[help_questions]

not sure where I stand on this one....
I absolutely agree that faibs did nothing wrong in this transaction, and honestly was more helpful than a seller needs to be, especially considering that he helped out after his character was attacked....so good job to faibs

at the same time, feedback is to reflect one perception about a given transaction, so if chip'ndale7276 feels that this transaction deserves a negative, it is her decision on what feedback is given as only she and faibs participated in this transaction...chip'ndale7276's feedback is to reflect her view on the transaction., which may or may not be correct.

[faibs]

however it has been made obvious by this crackwhore that she is not satisfied based on firmware issues and herself for being so uneducated.
she is now posting in my threads and should be banned

[zero001]

OK so yea never trust this seller and her boyfriend. I saw these threads and so on about how she cna't be trusted, but i ignored all that (Stupid) and went a head to buy a red w910i from her. Well i met up with her boyfriend and the phone was in perfect condition and came with everything except the red headset that i was suppose to get. He said he will bring it on friday at 1pm because it would be the best time for both of us. The last few days these 2 couples had been stalling and being a ***** about this. NO one should trust this seller.

u should post ur experience on her FS postings. I saw one for a few cell phones. Best to spread the word because not all people come on here and read this part of the board.

You should leave a negative feedback so others are aware before dealing with them.

if the people who read the title read the thread, then they will see the matter was handled by you as best you could.

But I find it hard to believe you werent aware of the problems with the phone. I think you knew the phone was faulty and decided to sell it. Thats really shady in my opinion and I hope this thread stays open so more people can read it and judge for themselves.

[malaco0219]

I've never dealt with Faibs, but I believe I contacted faibs once or twice about previous phones he sold, and hes very helpful none the less. Seen him on the forums for long time, and I think the negative feedback should be taken off because clearly the buyer doesn't know what he/she is doing.

I had the phone for 1 day. Why would you assume I was aware of this problem?
Why would you publicly come out and accuse me of being shady?

Either way, most people here that have dealt with me, know who I am, and what I stand for.

Unfortunately there are people like you that make these forums what they are today. Shady.

Hey Alvito

I don't like intervening, but without being aware of the situation you assumed a conclusion. EVEN IF (Faibs I'm not saying you did) Faibs knew it was defective, just from what has been said in the thread, how would you know?

I've spoken to Faibs a couple times, and from all his support to the buyer, we can tell he's willing to help out with the problems. Also, owning the phone for 1 day does not = he knows the phone inside out. Of the 45 cell phones I've had, and even the new P1 I just got, it takes at least a week, even for a phone freak like me to get to know my phone entirely, figuring out all the bugs, which in this case, is a bug on the phone's software as far as I'm aware. Software issues are not predictable, unlike physical damage, where you can obviously tell. Even if the cover doesnt close is a physical issue, it might not necessarily take place right when the first user uses it.

I don't think you should make any assumptions. Especially when you have no solid proof.. Shady...

[FlintBlade]

Can't believe this is still going on ehehe.. Thread should be locked and the OP should be given a temp ban.

[froster]

This thread actually has a positive effect on you if it is read entirely. You confronted the issue instead of staying quiet, showing that you stand for your reputation as a seller.

Yes I agree. I hate people who make posts and not read.. as shown a few times in this thread..

+1 faibs probably only played with phone for a few hours ... so the problem didn't occur till the phone was sold.. and the fact that other ppl who have the same phone have the same problem proves its a SE problem and not faibs being shady about it...

Well to be honest, both parties seem shady to me, when a seller says "used for only a few hours" on BST, I take that as used for a few days, if you trust everything a person says you're gonna get scammed, not saying thats what happened here, but I have a feeling that people are biased towards faibs since his english is more comprehensible.

Just my 2 cents

and you came to this conclusion how?
do you know me personally?
do you know how I handle phones?
Do you know what I like and dislike?
heck, have you even sent me a PM?
do you know my cellular tendencies?


if you answered YES to ANY of those questions, you would know that it is 100 percent possible that I handled this phone for literally HOURS.
Now for you to come here and call ANYONE shaddy takes some serious balls and you'd better have some sort of evidence to back that up.
Clearly you have absolutely NONE.

and by the way, the members coming to my support are composed of people that sympathize with me and/or know me and/or have dealt with me in the past and can vouch for my honestly.

Now read this post, put your head down in shame, walk away and start minding your own business.
Thanks for coming out slim Shaddy.

Hey, chillax bro. I wouldnt worry about it man. Some people just don't read the thread completely. I think I made a good point too that firmware problems are not predictable.. like this case..

Some ppl need to learn to read.. seriously..

Don't worry about it. I'm sure everyone else that's been a long timer like me or even longer know that you're of trust.

As I said in my post "not saying that is what happened here" and not to pass judgement on your character, as you are completely right that I don't know you, I've never met with you and never dealt with you before. So I apologize if you took any offence to my post, I'm just saying that people DO lie, and I've bought stuff off people where what they have said turns out to be false...

Some say 8.5/10 when its obviously not an 8.5/10, and some honest people say 7.5/10 and to you its much better than that... as you can see from my feedback, I do frequently deal with many users.

And I do believe that some people will give you the benefit of the doubt because of the way that chipndale writes, and the fact that she can't explain her case as well as you. This doesn't make her right in any way, just disadvantaged.

Anyways, I just thoguht I'd share my opinion (for a thread that I have been reading fully), and again didn't mean to offend you, just wanted to offer my comments, if you bash everything in this thread thats 'somewhat' negative towards you, it doesn't look very good for you.

[faibs]

ya, you sorta get on edge when no-merit n00bs start bashing your name for no reason just to seem important.
oh well, sales are still happening all is good

I see where you are coming from, but just try to put yourself in my shoes.
I have a thread with a DON'T TRUST title attached to my name. and keeps getting bumped and not taken down.
my P.R. people don't like the negative attention too much.
didn't mean to attack you but I am sure you can somewhat see why I would be edgy.
Thanks for your explanation.
