On April 14th, very reluctantly, I opened a PayPal case against WiseGuysHobbies @WiseGuyVic.  They have until April 24th to respond.  I'd really just like to receive the items I ordered, which aren't available via their eBay store.

I'm so sorry you've had to do that. I would think they'd have answered long before now.

From personal experience, they aren't malicious, just sometimes they lose track of things. So my gut tells me you'll get a response and everythingwill be resolved for you. If history holds true.

I got a refund from PayPal (original order placed on wiseguyshobbies.com website on 25 January 2025, refund received via PayPal dispute 24 April 2025 after numerous inquiries to wiseguyshobbies).  I'm very dissappointed.  I recommend not ordering from the wiseguyshobbies.com website.

I'm sorry to hear that Scopedog: I ran into a similar issue with TF Kingdom and had to get a refund. Later saw no activity on the site, and later yet, it vanished. I wonder if something happened to whoever is running wiseguy hobbies?

Just dunno. :(

Sorry folks, I guess I'd just stick with their ebay store.
Its been a few months since I last talked to them

Hello everyone! I have not checked the forums in quite awhile and a lot has happened. I see we had a few folks who were rightfully disgruntled with some errors made and I hope I can clear up some stuff and give you guys some positive updates regarding the business and things that are happening moving forward. I was only just now able to access my account, I feel terrible knowing now that I had people trying to reach out to me here.

I do too! I will explain: We have had some growing pains and some decisions were made when the website was created that didn't benefit us. I was only a regular staff member when this happened and since then I was promoted to Store Manager. I aim for efficiency and streamlining our processes and thus, the eBay has been updated and inventoried. The website needs to be updated and we've also started offering free shipping on select items as of the last two weeks.

These were definitely my fault and most of my mistakes are easily avoidable but I still make them. I aim to ensure no stones are left unturned and that evidently comes with some hurdles. 

In order to reach me please email me at: wiseguyshobbiesllcsm@outlook.com 

That is the email I check constantly for business and I will try to be on here more often in order to answer questions. I'm debating starting a discord server to easily answer questions with more ease.

Thanks Vic; while I have no pending orders with WiseGuys, a few other members here do. I was just relating similar issues, but I do try to give sellers the benefit of the doubt (running a business is not for the faint of heart!). Good to see that you folks are trying to make good on the issues pending.
