I bought a digital camera from Barclays Photo on eBay a short time ago in a rush. I Googled them when things started to go wrong, and was floored to come across what I found.
They'd been going by Price Rite Photo until the New York Times ran an expose on how they ripped off customers. eBay has allowed them to change their name several times.
As time went on with my transaction, the customer service number I had for them didn't work, and I was convinced I'd been scammed. However, the camera arrived five days later.
I left neutral feedback for them, but urged others to Google Barclays Photo. Shortly after the post went up, the phone calls started! One of their goons called and told me how everything in their past had just been a big "misunderstanding", "due to a disgruntled employee", etc. He wanted me to remove my feedback, even offering me instructions on how to (lie) and tell eBay it was all a mistake. I told him I'd think about it.
After I went back through all their listings again, it was clear these folks were scum. When he called yesterday (for the 8th time), I told him the post would stand and hung up.
This is where the fun began! Baryclays has now -
- Left negative feedback for ME!
- Is claiming I never paid for the item - even though there's a clear PayPal transaction!
- Managed to get eBay to pull my feedback about them by saying I'd posted a URL - which I hadn't!
I've complained high and low to eBay to let them know what has happened, and I'm going to be shouting this from the rooftops if they let this stand. What's even more intereting is a slew of negative feedback left for them over the past week has now mysteriously disappered, so who knows what they've done to those folks. They've messed with the wrong guy and are in for a heck of a fight - TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW - STAY AWAY FROM BARYCLAYS!!
