You should've known when he didn't post a pic of the actual item.....in his auction that something was screwy

I'm pretty leery of buying off of here without actual item pics so why would eBay be any different?

Answer: It shouldn't

did you even check his feedback? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

they don't have to be powersellers....you just shouldn't buy from people with few or shitty feedback, like the op did

Some of the biggest powersellers are probably harder to deal with most good nonpowersellers

Yep. Many seemingly feel that once PowerSeller status is attained that customer service becomes unnecessary. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

With the poor feedback percentage, no actual item pics, and completely atrocious spelling skills (a big pet peeve of mine) there are entirely too many red flags there to have even considered buying from that seller after perusing the item listing.

Perhaps my standards are a bit high? Perhaps not...

OP: Sorry to hear you got burned. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Hope PayPal offers some real assistance in getting it sorted but were I you I wouldn't be holding my breath.

Well,.. finally the verdict. I have learned a few things about ebay,... one of them,.. is that I was a little bit too trusting in people. Anyway,... Paypal found in my favor,... but I had to eat the return shipping. So I only ended up losing $20. Needless to say,.. they got shipped back in the exact same box with the same packing. So,... I guess this wasn't an expensive lesson anyway.

Finally,... for those of you who offered constructive criticism,... THANX!!! And for the others who just posted trying to be rude,... you're not worth my time.

Uhmm,.. actually your ebay feedback sounds like mine (only a bit better). I probably wouldn't hesitate to buy from you.

That seller is a ***. the worse part is if you leave a negative feedback, you might get hit with a one too

Not anymore you wont. Sellers can't leave neg feedback anymore as I understand the change.

You are right,.. I recently read that. I wish that would have been in place a couple months earlier,..LOL!! I really don't know what to think about that though,... I guess it's good and bad.
