Wireless4laptop gone from ebay

#1 Post by JohnnyM » Thu Dec 21, 2006 4:28 am

I noticed today that 'wireless4laptop' on ebay is now 'Not a registered user'. Anybody know what happened to them?

edit: fixed the 's'

They may have been temporarily NRU'ed due to a bouncing email address. I've seen a couple of times where this has happened. Or, they could have been booted from eBay for other reasons. I'd say wait a couple of days and see what happens. I've purchased from them a few times and never had any real problems.

(edit: Removed bit about extra 's')

I haven't seen them around here either, in a while.

I've used those guys a few times for random things that are hard to find (like the screw hole covers etc.) and they've been good. Would hate to lose them.

Looking at the first page of feedback for wireless4laptop shows that eBay has purged almost all of the listings from their system. This seems to be something more serious than a bad email address.

I looked back through their posting history here and came upon this very interesting entry from them:

http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?p=142179

This references a page I put up on my website for them while trying to debug the drivers for the Broadcom card they sold me back in March, 3 months before I even joined here.

I hope they're not another seller forced off ebay because of the fee hikes. I think ebay has definitely seen their better days.

Just ran across this listing on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0079794883

It looks like they are back on-line.

Due to posting some logo stickers' lists, ebay held our account temporarily. Now everything is normal. We also set another ebay shop: www.hellowifi.cn. Welcome to have a visit.

Thank all of you.

That's nice. Looking forward to seeing your items.

Cheers.
