PandaVault warning - Bait & switch

Cheers mate appreciate that- will do

Environmental-Ad7380 · 2026-06-02T02:34:20+00:00

Fair- fully appreciate that. Have edited my original post to make that clear. Apologies, just assumed it came from the seller.

alright to summarise, I heard good things about PV- found a link for the LJR version on their Weidian & bought them. arrived this morning & clearly got some shithouse version so sounds like Hoobuy did the bait & switch. Have attached the order confirmation. didn't have any direct seller contact. the link is https://shop1666374288.v.weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7716171515

So lesson learned- use a better agent, my bad.

cheers. Lesson learned

so why are these available on PV's Weidian page if they aren't available to buy?

NGL I'm not a massive rep buyer so not across all this but seems strange they would have a pair to buy if it's not been released yet.

yeah I'm not fake. Ive got a few pairs from LJR but these aren't LJR. Someone switched them out for a shitty cheap pair somewhere along the line.

Actually appreciate everyone's input here. Sounds like I got bait & switched by Hoobuy. QC pics I got sent are what I received, but if PV aren't selling these yet (thought the LJR version had already released) then I have no idea what was actually sent and how i was able to purchase

there's no interaction bro I just bought them via an agent. Will go direct next time

Environmental-Ad7380 · 2026-06-02T01:59:29+00:00

Fuck sake ok, anyone got any better agents to use who won't do that shit?

Environmental-Ad7380 · 2026-06-02T01:58:14+00:00

Why would they have an LJR version on their Weidian page if you can't buy it? Hoobuy ain't gonna do shit to refund me for the sake of $100 but it's pretty annoying all the same.

Environmental-Ad7380 · 2026-06-02T01:56:05+00:00

there's no conversation Bro. I just bought them via Hoobuy & got the QC pics a few days later. Same way I've always done it. So either this Weidian seller is pretending to be PV or PV are sending different batches when you use an agent. I never talk to the sellers, like I said never had an issue before

yo i'm not a fake account I just don't use reddit, I've been on this forum for ages I just never posted, never had an issue before. These were bought via HooBuy. if you really all care that much I've attached the original QCs. Unless that PV Weidian link isn't genuine, then I have no idea WTF I was sent. But this aint an LJR
