TRU feedback could be 80% and no one would even notice. Most likely people just see the seller is "TRU" or "Target" and set expectations to what they get when shopping at the store or ordering from their website. At least I know that's what I do. well in that case.. I just changed my EBay ID to TRU .. Wanna buy something? Hehehe Quote

I'm so excited! 5 Quote

At least I know that's what I do. if I don't like what I purchased off their ebay stores I can always return it back to their BM stores, they will just take it no question asked. As for their ebay feedbacks, never really paid any attention. 1 Quote

jay4e Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 TRU ebay canceled and refunded by construction crew (42023) order, though my Hobbit boats and Town Squares are still in limbo. Also TRU.com cancelled by SOHs (21012). though interestingly I found 3 on the shelf in store today, along with 3 Elronds, which were not there before. So I do not think this is complete ghost event. There is likely some stock being cleared out. Quote

kris_1973 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Wondering the same thing here... No cancellations, but no shipping info either. No update yet (no cancellation / no shipping / no PayPal refund). Quote
msdontplay01 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 My son little Timmy really wanted this. SHAME ON YOU TRU for false selling. Buyer: k***k ( 1866) During past month LEGO Pirates The Brick Bounty 70413 (#172226317537) US $109.99 View Item LOL, this is a feedback comment a customer left for eBay TRU from the action yesterday. Maybe a fellow brickpicker? What are the chances someone has a son that happens to be named little Timmy and he is sad b/c he didn't get his Brick Bounty?!! 7 Quote
Elkkthunder Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Just got my 1st cancellation for LOTR Pirate Ambush refunded in paypal Quote

Lol, that's a good one. person with 1800 feedback? one of us sellers IMO tru has over 320,000 feedback comments, I don't think negatives went over a 100 in past few days, within a week, you won't be able to dig them out anymore, won't make a difference, and like somebody stated before, many people don't look at their feedback on eBay like at other sellers,because it's TRU. I'm one of them... Edited June 2, 2016 by Lordoflego 1 Quote

It could have been you but I doubt it. The true Brickpicker way would have been to pick up some Brick Bountys during Target clearance last year for around $60 or purchase elsewhere with coupons, discount gift cards, etc. 1 Quote

BaconBits Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Same old news - definitely looks like a system glitch that caused all the excitement yesterday on Ebay for Toys R Us. When you go to the Toys R Us website, they now list all these retired or hard to find products that showed up (and more) on Ebay, but they are all out of stock or not available etc. Not what we wanted to hear, but we'll probably all get our orders canceled. I wanted a Robie House so bad I jumped on it, but really knew at the time how can this be true when they are selling for $400+ nowadays. For the heck of it, I'm going to chat with them online to see if they have more color on what happened. 2 Quote
Phil B Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Interesting tidbit - my Ebay Bucks overview still shows the bucks for the TRU order from 2 days ago. Now that would be a nice bonus ... 1 Quote

Sfcommando14 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Well...I'm down to 4 items and 1 order left that hasn't been cancelled. They just sent me cancellation for the Wheel Bikes, DDCs, and some Friends sets. Has anyone gotten anything at all shipped? On a plus note my TRU.com Man-Bat attacks from a few days ago are all shipped Quote
