>>>>>> To all Bat Makers <<<<<<
« on: May 17, 2010, 08:32:47 AM »
Hi all,this post is to all the Bat Makers here.I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this,just be gentle if this is the wrong place :)

I bought a bat from ebay and the seller said that it was 1st grade english willow and turned out to be kashmir willow,and i payed $230 Australian dollars for it! and i'm really disappointed now.My parents gave me $300 to buy a bat and only $70 is left now.I can manage to scratch up a bit more bucks to buy another bat.So i'm looking for a bat maker from here who could make me a custom bat for a kind price considering the fact that i got ripped off :(

All I want is a 1st Grade English Willow short handle bat.I don't want any stickers or grips on the bat as i have a extremely low budget.All i want is a plain bat custom made by a bat maker so i know it is not a rip off.

Anyone who is interested to make me a bat please state a kind price,i will give the order to the lowest asking price.

If you paid via paypal then you can get your money back, open a dispute through paypal, say that the goods were fake and paypal in 99.9% of the cases will get you your money back. Then you will have $300 to spend on  good english bat :D

From past experience in the UK it's been quite irrelevant if he's already withdrawn money from his account, the account goes into minus figures and Paypals debt collection agencys chase it.

...and if you're in Australia then you're not going to need a bat for a few months yet?

Thats a load of rubbish you've been told or are telling us. File a dispute with paypal, you will get your money back eventually - it's strange though, as most of the CA's i have seen on ebay are nearly always english willow - sometimes the bats are inferior quality for the model, but most of the time it's English willow. I've had experience of someone filing a complaint, they will take your money and ask questions later......got to love paypals style, bunch of mavericks!
slcric - i can tell you know you wont get the bat you are after, unless you up your budget considerably.

If you are off to India, I would try and get a bat you like while you are out there if I were you, it will save you some postage costs and import tax. 

Do file a complaint with Ebay/paypal, you have legal rights under the trade description act - don't be negative about it, you must really try to get your money back, especially if you bought the bat as a "buy it now" which means you have the right to a full refund if you return the bat. It sounds like the guy in question has potentially committed a fraud - try going through ebay, for the amount you have been ripped off for it is definitely worth the effort.

SS is right, you will get your money back eventually.

I simply don't believe him, lie's to get a cheap bat. Paypal never make promises as to when you get your money back, it would have been credited to you regardless of what anyone else has done as long as you win your dispute, and you would have been required to send the bat back with a tracking number, as soon as the tracking number shows the bat is delivered then you get your refund from Paypal. This has taken me 2 days start to finish and also taken 3 weeks.

just file a dispute and give the reason 'item arrived damaged' - I personally guarantee that you will get your money back on the same day. The problem with paypal is that if you say its fake or not as described they get into all the details. You just want your money back, and rightly so, and using this is a shortcut

your after something for nothing and we all know it, instead of argueing with 2000+ post members such as talisman, get some money and buy a bat properly just like the rest of us have, you are not special and weve seen it all before

did you go to school and did you pass your maths exam? My guess would be no. No batmaker will buy a grade 1 cleft (£30-40) or a part made grade 1 cleft (£55-£75), shape the bat, bind it, sand it, buff it etc. On top of this you expect him to put his time into the equation as free, then include postage to Aus (£20?)......im no Carol Vorderman but even my simple maths say you are wrong still.
Essentially, the batmaker is looking to make either fook all or even lose money sending you a bat to Aus. I suggest you knock this post on the head and look perhaps to get another bat off ebay, or look around the forum for a bargain.
