[QUOTE="sharkman, post: 8452309, member: 661488"] So 2 weeks ago I seen a dd m4 amp on eBay and it was an auction style. Then I seen the the seller had another one. Looked over to his seller feed back and he only had 13. But what I also looked into was the he's been a member since 2009. I sent him a message and asked if he had 2 of the same amps he said yes. I bided on the amp and won at $735 or something in that range. Then I looked at the shipping and it was $75. So I asked the seller what's up with that. He said he insured the package as well. I'm like ok I got a big as amp coming and I don't even know what I'm going to use it for but can always wire it at 2 or 4 ohms. I run over to 7/11 and pay a paypal card so I can send him the money. That was fun. PayPal only allow you to add $500 a day using their cards. I let the seller know what was up and since was already 11 pm I would add the rest in a few hours. 4:30 am rolls around and I'm getting up to go to work and I added the card and send the payment. I think I took the seller 3-4 days to ship my package and I asked him about it and he said he's in the navy and can only get off the ship at certain times. I'm like cool. Then he sends me a msg saying he shipped it and I don't think I got tracking info til about 2 days after that. So I missed the first 2 attempts and I had to call fedex so they can hold my package. So today I get a call saying my package is ready for pick up. Drive to go pick it up and get there about 8:15 pm and this thing looks like crap. The runny crap. The tape looks like a slow kid did it and there a big as hole in the box. Both of the workers ask me if I was going to except the package. Said yeah I've been waiting for a week and half for this. Throw it in the bronco drive home. Heart is pounding. Open the the box and the tape cuts like butter. This had to be the cheapest tape ever. The box is huge and is packed with nothing. I open the box and I start digging to find a brick. A huge grey brick.... I sent the seller a message and asked him what the hell is this. I opened a case and don't know if I did that Right. Now I don't know what to do. I'm out of $800 and Its a month before Christmas. This would have been the biggest amp I've ever had and I guess that wont happen. I made in my mind I want bay anything from a private seller on eBay anymore. For the most part I'm safe and paranoid about buy from people online. I prefer local and I'm never worried about getting robbed since I always have protection....this is sad and I hope it can get resolved quickly...
