I've been blocked by Cruising Image....wtf??
« on: July 13, 2017, 02:17:55 PM »
Seems Mr Cruising Image has blocked me. Don't know exactly why. I did enquire about combined postage on some items, but it was all amicable. Now when I tried to buy from his eBay site it states "This seller is not accepting offers from you". Reminds me of the Seinfeld 'soup nazi' episode......no Pistons for you.....next!!"

I was blocked when I asked about the possible ring issue. No response as to why I was blocked. Funny part I didn't even have a ring issue once Cal helped me figure out it was a bad spark plug cap.

What will eBay say about that behavior? Block without any dispute, just questions?

Luckily I had no issue with the one set of 65mm pistons I purchased. Looks like it will be the last set I ever purchase from them too.

I want higher compression pistons for the K8's and F2's anyway.  8)

Hi Guys,
That's the strange part.....I've had no issues with his products either. I'm running his 836cc piston kit in one bike. His 736cc piston rings in another. His intake boots on another. Plus seals, gaskets etc on various bikes.
The only thing I can think of was that I asked about a discount on shipping for buying multiple items. I didn't demand a discount....all single items were quoted with their own shipping, I just asked if I bought a bunch of items, would the shipping cost be reduced?
Be warned.....the 'piston nazi' doesn't take questions!!

I've had the same issue when found one ring gap was 'a lot' bigger than the others in a set. Asked him for a replacement set. He said he would refund the purchase but then blocked me from purchasing anything else from him.

I didn't even bother returning the set in the end as it wasn't worth the hassle and return postage cost.

He wouldn't reply to any messages after that.   

Poor way to do business in my opinion but each to their own.

I ordered several parts 2015, asked for total and combined shipping was not a problem. It must be different people working there?

I can't even ask directly why I've been blocked. All communication is also blocked. I've logged it with eBay to investigate. Never left negative feedback. In fact I've previously left positively glowing praise for products & service! Hopefully it's just a mistake/glitch that has occurred.

Yes PeWe & Don, I have previously ordered multiple items too & received discounted shipping. Maybe he got out of bed on the wrong side that particular day?

Yep, that guy is a total tool. I bought a lot from him but one day I asked when the 836 piston kits would be back in stock, he got back n said in a couple of weeks, in a couple of weeks I asked again, he said very soon, I then asked if he could narrow it down as I had a customer's bike pulled down and I'm waiting on the pistons. Never heard from him again, I advised the customer to buy elsewhere which he did. Some months later I go to buy from him n find I'm blocked, as was said above, all coms are blocked as well. At least I now know I'm not the only one. If I need stuff from him now I get a friend to buy from him.
Poonce for sure. I'd like to tell him to his face.

He told me no shipping to Canada even though every other vendor in that country seems to be able to. Asked him about ems shipping and no reply. Lost me as a customer...
Hope he reads these posts, not doing himself any favors...

Well he's lost me as a customer. Even after EBay approached him he won't budge? I have no clue what has upset this tool, but I don't have the time or inclination to deal with a Prima Donna. I'll take my business elsewhere.

I went to buy a 393 kit for my 350F just now and discovered I too am blocked, wtf!? I bought a carb rebuild kit from him 2 years ago, left positive feedback. I asked him about the contents of the kit after I received it (I thought it included a needle or something, but it didn't. It was my error and the discussion was all friendly).

Well shoot. Nobody else makes something for the 350F. Guess I gotta go try buying it from my wife's account now... very weird.
