Cading Gems/Gemstones - eBay?

[the_mother_thing]

Any buyers, experiences, reviews? They seem to have a lot of positive ebay feedback (their rating). I have my eye on something they have listed, so just putting out feelers for opinions, as I don't recall seeing any mention of them on PS, nor did anything turn up in a search. Thanks!

I can't find their store. Did you check their feedback on toolhaus.org?

Here is a link to their store: http://stores.ebay.com/cadingemstone?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

I haven't used toolhaus before so not sure what I would see there that isn't in the ebay feedback. When I just plugged the name into the first option and checked feedback received, it's the same info as ebay. Is there a specific thing that is best to use?

Bummer, just got this message from toolhaus.org when trying to do a negative feedback search.

"eBay has blocked access to feedback. Toolhaus is unable to obtain information that is available only to registered eBay users. We're not happy about this. "

All you need to do is put their ebay store handle name in the first box that asks for negative/neutral feedback, and click "received by." Their ebay handle name is "cadingemstone."

That being said, they don't appear to overly photoshop and they sell a lot of inexpensive and lower quality gems. If you're interested in an inexpensive gem, it might be worth the risk. I wouldn't buy an expensive piece from them however, as they don't seem to mention treatment. I usually "test out" ebay sellers by purchasing something I don't mind taking a risk over, like a very inexpensive gem. I test their communication, and shipping promptness that way too.

I am not happy about this either. Quality isn't that great and cutting on some are quite poor; I would not buy anything expensive just to be on the safe side.

Oh no! You would think that ebay would support toolhaus as it potentially gives people the added security to test out relatively new vendors and such. I suppose it could work the other way around, but again, I'd think ebay would appreciate the winnowing out of bad sellers.

Toolhaus.org worked later on during the day. I just ran it again, and was able to retrieve a lot of neutral feedback. It was mostly about how the stones didn't match the photo and/or description. I cut and pasted it here.

TL, you are so awesome.

 

[the_mother_thing]

Thank you TL! I was able to see the neutral feedback earlier this morning. I generally go to a seller's feedback on ebay and click on the negs and neutrals to see what is said. I am probably missing something on this site, but what does TH do or offer that is different? I am probably suffering a bit of the language barrier.

What I was looking at from this seller wasn't too expensive. I thought about checking one of the yellow chrysoberyls

No problem.

Ebay doesn't show all negative/neutral feedback history. They store it, but they don't show it all. TH shows more feedback history.

Hope that helps.

Good luck with them.
