I wrote to the seller and told them I wanted my money back. They said OK but did not do so. I contacted ebay and went through the 'square trade' process (or whatever its called) - once they were involved the guy coughed up the money in record time. Thats the only problem I have had on ebay and I was happy with the outcome. I think the legalese does include provisions for an item not being in the same condition as it was described. I am sure that there are US laws which govern that as well. However, I am not a lawyer. I never buy from people who have no feedback and I never buy from people who have less than 99.*% of good feedback. Of course, buying from listers is even better as we seem to have a very honorable group of folks :) Dave On Thu, 11 Nov 2004 12:47:27 -0800, Frank Filippone <red735i@earthlink.net> wrote: > You have tried this with Ebay and had luck? > > Commercial auctioneers are generally respectable, and honest.
