Well...did he do these type of things ? I know when I got sent a bad gear reduction gearbox he immediately refunded my money and promptly banned me from ever buying from him again without so much as an explanation. The only way this got fixed was when Gil intervened and squared it with Jin. Otherwise I was treated like eBay is now treating Jin.
EBay can be incredibly pro-buyer and will turn a sellers world upside down at the mere suggestion of improprieties. I haven't sold anything on EBay since August 1st 2023 when a scammer took over my account & EBay didnt care to help for 6 months.

In clicking on some of my older orders I find that the Microcosm Engine Store (galglg) header is still up, but with a blue stripe stating they are SOLD OUT and offering hundreds of other stores to shop at .... like Adidas and such ... unrelated.

Meanwhile, clicking on (mage-yang) still brings up products for sale under the Header of Microcosm Hit Miss Engine, and clicking on (dtjsteam) brings up products for sale under the Header of Jin+steam+Engines, so maybe he isn't completely out of business yet .... we can hope.

Of course I haven't tried to make a purchase, so maybe he is shut down, but not yet made invisible???

Here's hoping that valued resource isn't gone for good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jin should set up an Amazon account.

Perhaps if Jin had made his items  Buy it Now at the price he wanted instead of cancelling bids because they didn't make enough money he would not be in the fix he now finds himself.

Hi Roy. We do not even know if this is what happened and neither does the complainer.
It could easily have been shipped and then lost by the postal service.

If he did do what he is accused of, ebay needs to explain to him in chinese that this is not acceptable and to discontinue said practice.

I know I have complained when ebay sellers canceled sales and refunded even buyitnow items and ebay flat out refused to help me... making me think it might be better for Jin to simply cancel and refund immediately rather than let ebay send out a shipped notice.  Incidentally, the item shipped notices from ebay businesses are going out near immediately after payment and I believe this is encouraged by if not insisted on by ebay. 

Bottom line is ebay may have culpability in this.

It’s good that it’s back; but 98% feedback hurts the business. Jin, you need to work on bringing it above 99% at least.

Well I just made a purchase from Ol Jin for the first time today. Everything he had on eBay/DE is there
until you click on it. Then it says not available. Over here it still is so I bid on a Rider Ericsson,
a red one and won it, and paid for it. Time will tell what I get, it was cheap.

Gee Gil, I was sniping too. Good thing we weren't playing "Enemy at the Gates".
