This came through at 7.35am this morning from eBay Crusty. 27th May.
Hi Chook,
We're sorry to let you know that
BCF. -boating-camping-fishing cancelled your order and mentioned the reason as
I'm out of stock or can't fulfill the order for another reason. The seller refunded AU $189.75 back to your original payment method, and you don't need to do anything else.

Well that's one way to make money, as I had paid for the goods in good faith on the 14th of May.
Bit of interest off all their customers would help them a little along the way I guess.

ah chook, looks like we may have been ripped.
BCF isn't honoring any of the sales by the looks.
Myself and some of the other guys have had transactions cancelled, and refund given.
I don't want the refund, I want what was purchased and paid for in good faith.
Ebay has been advised.
Please let me know if your in the same boat, so to speak.
Yeh not a very professional way to conduct a business
BCF. No chance of the goods and they said we would be given a
Gift card as compensation. No mention of that being forwarded to us.
I wondered if it was a disgruntled employee of
BCF sticking it up them on the way out the door. Whatever the case it doesn't reflect well for them.
Like my old man always told me "If you don't speculate, you will never accumulate", so was worth a try.
Thanks for the heads up anyway.
