I guess I'm not the only one who was excited by the Indiana Jones offering from Present Toys? The photos looked good and the price better than the Hot Toys offering.
Back in February 2021 I placed an Ebay preorder with a seller (sunnymayhair) who looked legitimate. The seller has 98.5% positive feedback and 52K items sold and seems to specialise in 1:6 scale figures.
I paid the preorder price of GBP140 + GBP14 in taxes and waited with much anticipation.....
First there were delays in production and the expected time kept getting pushed back.
The seller responded with promises and requests for patience.
Come August 2022, after seeing that these items had started to become available for direct purchase, I contacted the seller and was advised that the item had been sent.
Great! I thought!
Where is my tracking number? No tracking number, I was advised the item was sent without tracking but the delivery company they use is very reliable.
A month goes by, where is the item? It's in your country I'm told. Just be patient, give it another week.
Another month - very soon I'm told.
Fast forward to December 2022 - the seller offers me a PayPal refund. OK, I'd rather just have the figure, but at least the seller is trying to make things right, I thought.
Where's the refund? Problems with Ebay processing a refund on an old purchase I'm told - but just be patient.
End of January 2023 and still no refund and no resolution.
EBay customer support? As useful as the proverbial ashtray on a motorbike.
I am still hopeful of giving a positive update to this saga, but for now I share my experience as a cautionary tale for those who are looking for 1:6 Indy figures (or others) on the EvilBay.
