Iffy auction?

I am REALLY hoping that this is a legit new company Dollyface cos i'm a hankering after a couple of these dolls

I don't think we are all assuming it's a scam or a rip-off but you know, we have the right to ask questions. As my Mum always said "If it looks too good to be true then it probably is"
Can we really get quality legit BJD's for such a low price?
Hmmmm - i really wanna know

 

one thing... has anyone noticed ALL the measurements are the same as a 1/4 DZ girl???

 

If a person has feedback, it gives them more credability. It shows that they are making an effort towards becoming a part of the community by building trust in themselves that they are capable of conducting a legitamate transaction. I think it\'s chutspa, that some newbey suddenly comes along and tries to sell something without making that effort.
And if they have feedback elsewhere, then they should have posted that they do with a link so people can see it.

 

Yes...I know because i've been thinking about getting a DZ doll. There's just too many similarities

 

ooooh they have a gorgeous outfit on eBay now too.

so it's not just me who is a bit skeptical about this company...

 

nope, i am too but i'm just sort of hoping......

This company, AOD, reminds me of stealing DZ's website coding before it changed to now what you can see.
What I had actually seen was that their stolen web containing DZ's words and pictures on it.
I'd never recommend anyone to buy AOD dolls.

Some major china bjd forums have banned this company, e.g. DZ's forum.


About this auction....all the doll pictures on the category side are stolen.

Hope someone know more about china bjd companies could tell more about what AOD had done. I'm not familiar with china bjd^^".

 

Yep, looks as though they have copied the outfit from Latidoll, no disputing that fact but i am also quite intrigued as to what they are going to list next on eBay.....seems they are adding new items one at a time. What else have they copied?
I don't get the time to visit all the BJD websites, it's a bank holiday and i am indulging myself with a day on the computer so thanks for pointing me in the direction of Latidoll ^_^

 

edit: no comment on this, i only seemed to have offended.

 

Sure^^
I don't know any other mainland china forums, but I think these two are large and major enough to cite:
http://www.dollsky.com/bbs/Boards.asp
http://www.dzdollbbs.com/Index.aspx

Forgot to say that that one above is DZ official forum.

something to add, maybe it out of topic: the ddung dolls selling in this auction store are pirate too....
so don't buy anything from this seller.

 

this is the Chinese Dollzone website that looks almost the same as the AOD site....
http://dzdoll.com/
Hope the link works!

 

on the AOD site you can see pics of the dolls partially dressed. They are *nothing* like DZ dolls in body or joint style. I have several DZ dolls and I just don't see any similarity to them or any other brand I'm familiar with.

I do agree the pics on their side banner are other brands, but they aren't selling those or claiming they are their own - at least not that I've seen. The dolls I've seen for sale by them on ebay and on their site look all look like new original dolls to me.

As to the site looking similar? Well, most likely they are using the same template from a hosting or website design company. There are *lots* of Korean sites that appear to all use a similar template, so what's wrong with that?

As for a company trying to get feedback before selling? To me it's so transparent when someone buys a bunch of piddly little stuff for the sole purpose of getting a few fbs, sp to me that is completely meaningless. I don't believe that anyone who sells on ebay has to have been a major buyer first.

Yeah this is my point exactly I've traded on ebay for 7 years and its a re-occuring pattern for scammers to buy 99cents items to get feedback, people really need to be aware of that if they think that makes a user "trustworthy" in any way

 

edit: i'm keeping my big mouth shut on this topic now

 

It would be awesome to be proved wrong. 'Cause that moody boy is GORGEOUS! I love his face o___O; 333 So handsome!

I get what you mean, but ANY activity shown on their feedback is good activity. So far they show nothing. They show no credibility and so far it seems to be going further down the toilet the more people notice similarities and 'stolen' aspects from other doll companies.

I've been buying and selling on Ebay for a really long time [an embaressingly long time]. Mainly to buy. But I've experienced my fair share of scammers that have token feedback. Sometimes buyers/sellers start out well and turn into bad eggs. Thats a fact. I've delt with plenty of power sellers on Ebay that have stitched up me and other people out of our money. Thats the risk you take buying from a company like Ebay. But I've never been so seriously burnt I would never buy or sell again online *touch wood*

I'm just dubious about there being nothing there and the pictures being a bit shady XD

Someone PLEASE prove me wrong! I'm now in love with this 1/4 outfit!!!

I never said a person/company should buy \"piddly little suff\" to boost their feedback quantity!
Yeah, if someone is buying only $1 items, that\'s piddly, but if you own BJDs the stuff you buy is rarely piddly, don\'t you think? And most people want quality items for their dolls and are willing to pay for them.
I think that feeback means something and shows the habits of the person, such as normally if a person pays on time, they will ship on time too. Or if their communication is great when they buy something, it\'s normally also great when they sell.

 

Doesn\'t Paypal have some kind of protection policy, so if you don\'t receive your item within like 45 days, you can file a non-receipt claim and Paypal refunds your money? Not sure if it applies to China, though.
