  1. On June 16, I made an eBay purchase for "NOS Campagnolo NR BB cups,
    French". On June 30, the item arrived, BUT it contained a French
    thread adjustable cup and an ITALIAN thread fixed cup. In other words,
    a useless item to me. I contacted the seller, Cyclo Network,
    immediately (July 1). They apologized and agreed to send a
    replacement. I heard no further from them, and after 2 weeks (the
    original item arrived in 10 days),on July 14, I contacted them. They
    replied that the replacement was sent out "a few days ago". The
    replacement never arrived, and they now do not respond to my emails. I
    also see that they have gotten many negative feedbacks lately for
    treating other buyers the same way. Avoid these rip off artists, on
    eBay or anywhere else you see them

    It sounds to me like they're not so much "rip-off artists" as simply
    incompetent.

    Remove the ns_ from if replying by e-mail (but keep posts in the
    newsgroups if possible).

    Sending an essentially useless item _may_ be incompetence. Claiming to
    have sent a replacement and then no longer replying to emails is, IMO,
    the sign of a crook.

  5. UPDATE:

    Cyclo_network's negatives continue to pile up;

    http://tinyurl.com/6bwrc

    Despite this, and despite my complaint to eBay (and, I assume others
    have complained as well), these crooks remain registered eBay users.
    Clearly, eBay is in the seller's corner, despite the hype to the
    contrary.

    There is some speculation that these crooks may be using another eBay
    user ID now. Check the address of the seller before you pay, and aviod
    anyone using this address:

    Meisterstrasse 16
    D-21379
    Scharnebeck, Germany.
