RE: just another e-bay rant
Sorry about your situation. But it's not ebay. It is the seller. Best thing you can do is try to get it resolved and move on. Plenty of legit and honest sellers on ebay. You just have to be cautious and when in doubt ask questions. When in serious doubt move on to the next item.

Post negative feedback and notify ebay about the specific auction listing. If you payed with paypal they can get envolved too.
I have purchased and sold a lot of stuff on ebay and once I had a problem with someone bidding on something and then retracting right before the end. By the time I got ready to do somthing about it the guy was already removed by ebay. I did not loose a thing.

You can get your money back through Ebay's dispute procedure.
I've had very good experience buying and selling on Ebay; but, there are sellers who don't describe the product accurately--they'll usually have a poor feedback score because they've done it to other people--so Idon't buy from sellers with more than one negative feedback and I always ask some questions--if they don't answer I don't buy.
But ebay isn't for everyone; you may be one.

There's nothing wrong with EBAY, but I agree, check the sellers feedback and e-mail him with specific questions, then when you receive a response, print it out. Also print out a picture of item. Take your time buying, they'll always be another of what you want.

Ebay is like any group of large people there is usually gonnabe a few ********, y ahave to sometimes take the good with the bad, try to list em correctly and recoup some of your money back , I think they changed the rules so sellers can't leave negative feedback anymore so leave him a negative to warn future buyers.
