Good eBay Source for Cables

I have purchased more than once from seller 'audiophileanswers' on eBay, and can recommend him for selection and fast shipping. https://www.ebay.com/usr/audiophileanswers?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754 Maintaining a 100% satisfaction rating on eBay is not easy, but even with >21,000 feedback ratings, he has a 100% rating.

My most recent purchases from him are two DH Lab Silver Sonic interconnect cables - a 1M digital RCA/coax cable, and a 1M A/B USB cable. These are legit...currently letting the silver/strident effect wear off.

    I made several purchases from him then one day I'm banned. I have now idea what I did but I am banned on all access. I went to eBay to contact him to see if I was banned by him by mistake and nothing ever came from it. I'm still banned no sales no emails no anything. 100% rating is not what it used to be. That rating is now only per year not lifetime, eBay will also remove negative feedback at times. I recently had a seller who I bought tubes from. He told me for 3weeks he would be shipping the tubes tomorrow yet never did. I had to get eBay to step in and refund my money. I gave him a negative for it and eBay removed it and my truthful comment.

    I was NOT insinuating in any way that he was not a good seller or his items were not legit or that he did not deserve his rating. Just to be clear.

    Interesting. I've had sellers appeal to me (offer full refund, and keep the item) after I've made a negative comment, but I had to initiate the removal, or agree to the request for removal through eBay. Never had it happen arbitrarily. Hmm.

    YES I'll reiterate he is a great place to buy GREAT stuff I AM NOT slamming or talking smack about him in the least I'm just perplexed that I was banned by him and have NO idea why. He has had many things I would have liked to purchase and in the end I did through DHLabs direct.


    as you can see in full disclosure my interaction with him was all positive.


    thanks

    Thanks for clarifying. That is really odd, and probably some kind of mistake. I've made a lot of eBay purchases over the years, but only sold a few things myself. I'm not even sure I'd know how to ban/block someone.

    I would ban Ivan. And then unban him, just to ban him again.

    I'd do worse.... I'd post something I know he really wants..... let him see it.... ban him.... sell it for pennies on the dollar..... THEN unban him :smile:..........

    Although I'm close enough he could legit come to my house and kick my a rse....... and I cant run as fast as I used to lol

    ok something did come of this thread. I had previously tried to contact the seller Audiophileanswers through his for sale items and was blocked. Tonight I used the link @jdjohn provided and used the contact seller link to write a message to him. earlier today I tried to buy and message and received this
    I checked again today. Tried to buy it now and I get this



    The seller isn't accepting bids or offers from you.

    The seller is not taking messages from you.

    So I used the contact seller in the link not expecting it to go anywhere. 20minutes later I received this

    I'd like to understand What I did to be banned from buying from you. I try to buy and get a message that you have banned my from buying or asking question about items you have for sale.

    I've tried to buy several DHLabs items over the last year to no avail. I ended up going to DHLabs directly yet you have had better pricing. Just help me understand how I was banned with positive feed back both ways?

    Thanks Ivan

    Not sure. I just made sure your user name is "included" in my eBay. You should be good to go.


    What do you know it worked :D

    Sounds like perhaps there was an inadvertent banishment. Glad that things have been ironed out.
