Need info on Beckertime reputation

I am new to the Forum, so please forgive if this is repetitive.

I bought a Rolex on eBay from Beckertime, and everything seems to check out OK, but was wondering - and I know that I should have done this before buying - what this company's reputation is like.

They had good email communication but we had a rather odd glitch in that they shipped the same day as I made payment, rather than the four days they say that they wait. I ordered an extra link, which they said they'd install prior to shipping, but were unaware that the watch had already been shipped. Now they're mailing the link and the watch has arrived, so no sweat.

Their eBay score is almost perfect and they appear to be a volume seller, but does anyone here have experience with them? Any issues in terms of selling counterfeits, etc.?

Thanks!

Seems you have the watch and Beckertime are OK IMO.

Have it checked out if you want real peace of mind.

I was glad I re-read the fine print with them. I almost plunked down a considerable amout of $$ on a 18238 YG DD. I re-read the description and found that it was an aftermarket Italian YG bracelet, NOT OEM Rolex YG bracelet. A possibly minor point, but I wanted all original ROLEX parts. I imagined having it serviced by RSC and them confiscating my YG non-Rolex bracelet. I went with another GD for my watch, but not to say that ALL they have to offer is like the ad I saw from them. They do have a good rating for sure.
READ THE FINE PRINT and in your excitement always have SOMEONE ELSE read the ad and explain it in their words.

Bracelet is NOT a small point despite what SOME may say.

Good job reading the fine print.
