EbayBanned will no longer be retail!

[Reaper6]

Hi all buyer,

Today is the first year anniversary of EBaybanned, I am really
appropriate all buyers and who make allowances for our mistake. Last
year, we grow up from month to month, from a part time ebay seller to a
company got monthly sale volume over USD300,000. We offer a special
channel for your chinese AEG product need, we never cheat you money by
dishonest shipping cost, we only sell product as same as my photo.

As all you see, recently we are sole agent for many products. My volume
let me have power to deal with individual producer. BUT my dealers also
start to complain: i should change to different role to contribute the
field. I SHOULD STOP THE RETAIL. But, my mainly consideration is, how
much the final user can save?

For example : SLS Tactical Holster 6004 fit 1911, my retail price is
USD77.3 shipped. On the other hand, i can offer USD34 for my reseller. I
believe reasonable reseller can offer the final buyer at USD65-69. End
up over 10% can be saved. ( Do not forget, my USD77.3 is very low
already)

All my friend, come with the revolutionary change, tell your nearest
shop EB airsoft is here, tell him there is chance to earn money !
Friend, you can keep to enjoy EB price with ''hand touch feeling'' on
shipping. Help me to contact your friendly local shop ! Thanks

P.S We will stop the retail sections at least 1 week, all buyer paid
before 12 Aug will be shipped still. I should say sorry again since we
move warehouse last week and make some late on your package .

regards

Paul
Master of EBbaybanned.com

Just got this in my email this morning. It appears that EbayBanned will not be selling anything retail anymore after the 12th of August. I just looked at the website and the very same message is right there on the homepage.So, apparently, this is not a spoof.

Best regards,

Wow, glad I got my order in last night.

[O'Dwah]

I need to order fast.

[Reaper6]

I'm setting up a reseller account with them tonight (when they are open).

[Big Boss]

I Think I am going to cry, this really blows.

[Sunshine (FAH)]

Yea, no kidding, Ebaybanned always impressed me with their low prices and free shipping (from China!!!!). I also want to say that the customer support is just fucking sweet, so this is quite the loss.

Does that mean we can get the same items that are on EBB from you?

[Big Boss]

I have nothing else to say Oakey that's what I was thinking, hell he could probably get it to us for cheaper. A3 you have PM incoming.

Heres something helpful:

ebaybanned.com/product_info.php?products_id=1623&osCsid=b8dd8289a46ed68c11aec009536356d3

It's not like we wont be able to purchase from them at all in the future, we just need to make a large order totaling $1000 to get our stuff.

The glass is still half full...I have nothing else to say ;D

[MattyB (Immortal)]

Actually, the glass might be entirely full. The wording is goofy but it sounds to me like what they're going to do is deal with retailers and give them big discounts, and then the final price is still lower than what he's charging now. So this is potentially a win-win situation: lower prices + extra $ in the pockets of US retailers.

[Big Boss]

Ya what matt said, is how people on ASR interpreted it.

[Reaper6]

I spoke with Jesse at EbayBanned & they are having trouble attracting U.S. Distributors. They are wanting Big-time distributors rather than wholesale customers, so I was not able to set up an account at this time. He indicated that if they could not do so within 7 days from now, they will return to their normal retail sales & restart selling in 10 days. So, that means that quite possibly, we could be getting them back to normal in 10 days from right now!

[M.S.-ARC]

I got this message from Paul and I'm sure some of you got the same one:

"Hi All,

After the negotiation with my dealer, we will come again for retail !!!! But the price of 20 items (mainly G&P items ) are increased around 10 %. We will restart today later time.

For the client i sent them package late last week, do not worry, my special offer will late you feel happy again

regards

Paul"

I had a feeling that "retailer only" business wasn't going to last. It was working fine for them the way it was and to totally shut that down didnt make any sense.

[Reaper6]

Well, that is certainly good news. I really wish they'd gotten their act straight sooner. Jesse indicated that it would be in the order of 10 days before the resumed retail (on the assumption that they could not attract a US distributor). But, I guess they took into account the massive volume of emails the received asking them to resume retail operations.

[kdogg]

I know this is a few weeks old, but.... The reason they can't get any US Distributors is that 75% of there products are illegal.

The reason they are called eBaybanned.com is because they used to do business on ebay.com until Safariland, Blackhawk, VLTOR, Aimpoint, EOTech, Surefire etc all started to file complaints againest there copyright violations.

Simply not worth the law suits if you become a US Distributor or even a dealer.
