The original ad read... Up For Auction Is This Tektronix 2336 - 100MHz, 2-Channel Oscilloscope. This Unit Is In Great Physical Condition, And Unit Powers On. I Can't Fully Test The Unit, So I Will Have To Sell The Unit AS IS. Please Bid With Confidence, I Have Excellent Feedback. The Unit Comes With The Power Cord (No Probes). Due To The Ongoing Fraud That Is Taking Place With My Paypal Account, I Will No Longer Accept Paypal As A Form Of Payment. Please Read Below, For The Method Of Payments I Do Accept. THE NEXT Paragraph says... RETURN POLICY: I Offer 3 Day Warranty After Being Received on all of my products (unless stated otherwise Like AS IS Auctions). This Will Protect You From DOA Products. I believe that any problems that might occur can and will be resolved to full customers satisfaction. Please Contact me Within 3 Days Of Being Received If you are not satisfied with your product in any way. I will be happy to fix the problem or take it back and refund your money within 3 days Of Receiving Your Product. FEEDBACK POLICY: Your Feedback Is Very Important To Me, And It Lets Potential Bidders Get An Idea Of What Kind Of Seller I Am. So Please Leave Your Feedback As Soon As You Receive The Merchandise And Are Satisfied With Your Purchase. Ok, so like I said, I e-mailed him. You already read his responses. I have been e-mailing him since then and still have no reply at ALL. I have gone as far as asking him (several times) to call my cell. I gave my cell # in EVERY email because a 10 minute conversation would be a heck of a lot easier than a 6 day drawn out misery. To add insult to injury, I got an invoice from him tonight. It had a little comment...If you have any questions, please e-mail me. He only has 67 sales. 2 Negitaves and 1 neutral. (Negatives and neutral for nearly the same issue) I will e-mail 1 more time tomorrow letting him know I will not be sending any money. I will suggest that we both part ways peacfully or he will have 3 negatives within a 1 year period, or he can be nice and we will both have un commented positives. I do not usually take the a$$hole stance, but. This is silly. i checked out many of his other auctions and he puts up a stock photo of the item being sold. Man, you have no idea what you are buying from him. |

I would have sided with the seller up until this sentence: --- Quote ---i checked out many of his other auctions and he puts up a stock photo of the item being sold. --- End quote --- Putting up a stock photo of an AS-IS item shouldn't be allowed. Otherwise, I would have to fault you, MYX, (I'll put it bluntly,) for not paying attention. Everyone buying something should know the terms AS-IS and the conditions that are meant by it. I've yet to see an AS-IS sale that allowed exchanges/refunds. (Would kind of defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?) Not attacking you personally. Your brain probably read only the parts it wanted to read, eh? :-\ --- Quote ---I Can't Fully Test The Unit, So I Will Have To Sell The Unit AS IS --- End quote --- If you ever see these phrases together, and the seller has no ability to know whether the unit EVER worked (and this one admitted he only knows it powers on, and that's it,) it's potential bad news. Some sellers will claim that the last time (months or whatever ago) they used an item, it worked, and now they have no way to test it (like a game and system. You sell one, keep the other, then decide to sell the other down the road. The last time you used it, it worked, so it still should. These instances can be trusted to an extent.) --- Quote ---I will suggest that we both part ways peacfully or he will have 3 negatives within a 1 year period, or he can be nice and we will both have un commented positives. --- End quote --- Careful with your choice of words when you compile that email. If you try to blackmail him, he may call you out. There's always the option of just letting it be. No feedback for either of you whatsoever. |

I am sure I will get creamed. I am not looking for a fight, I just wanted a dagum scope to work with. I am a little concerned with the fact that the only reply I have had since Friday, is an invoice. :P Today I bid (and paid) for a different scope. It cost a bit more but it CLEARLY said that is worked with pix to match and an actual 7 day DOA return with no strings. Here is what I e-mailed... Due to your lack of response, I have chosen to not buy this item. I would like to see this end nicely for both of us. I feel that the ad was misleading. You say the item powers on, this is not the same is the unit is working. If the screen doesn not work, then say so. I feel that the wording was mysterious and you can not confirm nor deny that the screen does or does not work. Also, you deal in a lot of very similar equipment. This means that you do have some knowledge of the products. If it does not work, sell it as parts. People do buy parts, some pay good money for parts. I have been doing a lot of reading on these and other oscilloscopes and have talked to many people offering the scopes. The ones peole have been very up front about the true condition about the item. I can not get the answer from you. You say please bid with confidence. I did, but with the lack of comunication and lack of detail I no longer have any confidence with this purchase. You should not put any mention of a 3 day return policy of you are not actually offering it. Most people (like myself) do not have the time to look at lots of little details that may cause an item to be outside of a selling point. If you list something as is and this voids the idea of a 3 day return policy, yet you still put the return policy in big letters right below the ad. I do not know the process of canceling an auction, but I would like to see the auction closed and we both walk away with our ratings intact. If not then we both end up with negitives and that is not good for either of us. Please let me know what you want to do. Mike |

Isn't there a certain duration after the auction that you can submit a dispute to eBay - stating failed correspondance, stock picture etc? |
| danny_galaga:
how high is YOUR feedback, anyway? once mine was over 20, i relaxed a little as that meant one bad feedback would put me at 95%. not brilliant, but not awful. now mine is at 41. if yours is higher than his, there is a little leverage... and how much did you pay? |
