Barclay Enterprises Bad Guy Listing

In a communication days after his first complaint:
"The problem with my rubber pad is that the #1 won't work. I put your membrane in today.........I'll be damned if it still doesn't work."

Hemichallenger tells us he tried the membrane keypad for the first time several days after complaining that it does not work?? How can that be anything but a lie from someone who intended to complain?

Undeserved & Suspicious Negative Feedback

In December of 2007 we received several demanding and insulting emails from an eBay member who purchased our membrane keypad.

eBay user hemichallengerclaimed our membrane keypad did not work and that our auction was misleading. He not only demanded a full refund without having to return the product, but wanted a free rubber keypad as well, complete with threats to avoid negative feedback while calling us "idiots" and "jerks".

This is called Feedback Extortion and is an eBay rule violation. Details

Suspicious behavior
Hemichallenger claimed he had tried membrane keypads in the past and they do not work. He called us "idiots" for claiming that it would fix the button issues. We have hundreds of positive feedback for the identical item, not to mention installing thousands of them ourselves before our improved rubber keypad was completed.

What is more interesting is the fact that Hemichallenger purchased the same product from techguy5597 just 5 minutes before purchasing it from us. He left positive feedback to techguy5597 just before emailing us complaining the product did not work. Click to see the purchase from techguy5597 and from us prioritytel

So, Hemichallenger purchased one copy of our improved membrane keypad from techguy5597 then 5 minutes later purchased one original improved membrane keypad from prioritytel. Later he claims our membrane keypad does not work (that all membrane keypads do not work) and that our auction is deceiving. Our auction is the only one that mentions "membrane" in the title. Techguy5597's ebay auction IS deceiving (Click Here) they show pictures of a complete rubber keypad with large contacts specifically to make you believe you are receiving a real improved rubber keypad which they do not have.

Early on we offered hemichallenger a 100% refund (including shipping) if he returned the product. He refused and opened a Paypal dispute where we again offered a 100% refund if he returned the product, again he refused and opened a BBB complaint demanding a full refund, a new OEM Panasonic keypad for free and free repair service.

We leave the conclusions up to you.

A) Did an eBay user (familiar with membrane keypads) buy techguy5597's membrane keypad, then 5 minutes later buy our membrane keypad not realizing he just purchased two membrane keypads.... Then a week later leave positive feedback to techguy5597 for his perma-pad "the industries only improved keypad" and attack us for selling a "deceiving" membrane keypad while demanding a free rubber keypad and repair service as restitution?

- OR -

B) Was this a set up from the beginning? A planned attack from a friend to give us negative feedback?

Need more help? We have proof hemichallenger was communicating with techguy5597
Techguy5597 even let us know in his own special way that he was involved.

 

You decide.

This is the feedback Hemichallenger left techguy5597 for their "Perma-Pad" membrane keypad.

Additionally, hemichallenger filed a Paypal payment dispute and lost. He then filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau where he blatantly lied. He also wanted a free rubber keypad, a letter of apology and free repair service!!! He was obviously not looking for a resolution with all these outrageous demands and belligerent emails. Once the BBB complaint was reviewed by a human being, it was tossed out immediately.

We had already offered hemichallenger a full 100% refund including our shipping cost if he returned the membrane keypad, he refused. He was obviously trying to annoy us and waste our time dealing with outrageous demands.

Over the course of our original email exchange with Hemichallenger, we stayed civil and proper to the end. Hemichallenger lied to us several times. He was insulting, demanding and rude. Later he let a few clues slip that proved he had at the very least been in communication with techguy5597 about this so called dispute.

    hemichallenger's unedited first communication to us:

Email Subject: Avoid Negative Feedback
Your product to repair the Panasonic phones is not adequate.
The product will not sufficiently correct the problem with the phone.
For the price I paid to you I bought a number pad, not a "repair" pad.
I have repaired about 4 5 of these phones. Your product won't work.

I need a refund for the product.

I will leave negative feedback if you do not refund the price of the product including shipping.

You item is not adequate. I am requesting a refund. I will send the item back to you once I get the refund. (Just like I had to pay before shipping.)

I bought a key pad from another vendor. It works great. These "repair kits" do not work as advertised. You are over priced for this kit as well. Your ad is also misleading.

- hemichallenger

Our reply:

Hello,
 
I understand you do not like our product. Unfortunately the product does work, we have hundreds of happy customers that prove this. I also do not agree with you that our ad is misleading. We describe in detail the item you are buying and in fact recommend you buy a real keypad instead quite clearly in the auction listing (at the top). It can only be considered misleading if you do not read it. If you disagree, please provide your reasoning.
 
You are claiming the product does not work. We have hundreds of positive feedback on ebay (for this same item) that disagree with you.
 
You accuse us of writing a deceiving ad. Nothing can be clear if it is not read.
 
You demand a full refund without having to return the product. This is an unreasonable request from any angle.
 
We take good care of our customers but will not roll over for unreasonable demands and threats.
 
I see you purchased the same product from techguy5597 a few minutes after you purchased it from us. How can you claim our product does not work on the same day you leave positive feedback for the same product from another vendor? Techguy5597 directly copied our product after lying about it for over a year and selling customers known defective OEM keypads for even longer while lying that Panasonic had solved the problems. Our membrane keypad is made with carbon material NOT carbon paint. Techguy9957 charges more for the product. His auctions ARE deceiving. I am sorry but all reasoning shows you are either mistaken on who you are complaining to OR you are working for techguy5597.
 
I'd be very interested  to hear an explanation of why you purchased one from both our listing and techguy5597 at the same time and why ours is such a terrible product in comparison. How you were deceived when it appears you were comparing similar items. Why our ad is deceiving while techguy5597's ad is not.

You can call me Monday or Tuesday 207-894-7100 x105 (9-5 EST) to clear this up.

Thank You

Key statements from Hemichallenger's later emails:

I don't have time to call you 9-5, you just fix it and we'll both be happy.

I've tried the things you sell before. They don't work very long.

You are telling me that your conductor fixes my phone. It doesn't. I wanted a keypad.

I will make sure everyone on the internet knows you rip people off and you tell lies about what you sell. Your ad doesn't say
a "conductor to repair your keypad" or some other such nonsense. It implies I will get a keypad.

The only way you can fix this is give me my money back and buy a keypad somewhere and send it too me too.

As I said, I have fixed a ton of these things and you are the only vendor that claims a conductor will fix a keypad. You're an idiot.

The problem with my rubber pad is that the #1 won't work. I put your membrane in today.........I'll be damned if it still doesn't work. (Hemichallenger tells us he tried the membrane keypad for the first time several days after complaining that it does not work?? How can that be anything but a lie from someone who intended to complain?)
