Furthermore, check the ads more carefully next time. I've had the same type issue and thankfylly we were able to peacefully split ways. I learned my lesson and now I'm very sure to read everything. I wouldn't get hung up on that 100% rating. A low rating would be back for sure, but if your a seller, you won't be able to make everyone happy. |

I am not seeing where you where misled as you had the same info as you do now, sounds more like second thoughts. You may "feel" mislead but you are going to inconvienence him as a result, if you would have not bid or followed through he would have his sold item instead of now needing to recope his ebay fees and selling the item again, and unfortunately offering it to the next highest bidder rarely works as they usually assume that the nonpaying high bid was a shill or they lost interest. |

Much of the description practices used on eBay are designed to mislead. Like MYX says, either there is a DOA guarantee or there is not. If there is no guarantee, then do not place language concerning one in the listing at all. Just say what the deal is: "Red light on the front, no screen activity, no guarantee". Yeah, right! If the seller can't be bothered to accurately describe simple and important aspects of the item they are selling or their expectations for the transaction in a non-intentionally-confusing way, then screw 'em. If he had sold it to someone else, there's a very good possibility that the same thing would have occurred with that other unfortunate person. There are too many dirtbags on eBay who don't even deliver what they promise when the description is clearly worded. The only way to clean up these kinds of practices is to not allow them to work. Furthermore, anyone who thinks these kind of practices are OK, are probably guilty of perpetrating something similar themselves. Save your money, the rating isn't worth anything as a buyer. He has more to lose should you wish to retaliate. Just my opinion....(err....rant?) RandyT |

You can tell the seller your situation and then you both can agree to retract the auction win based on a misunderstanding. He gets to relist his auction free of charge, and you both get to leave each other positive feedback. It's a win-win situation. I had to do this when I bid on what I thought was a IPAC-4, when it was actually an IPAC 2. It was really my fault. I assumed it was a 4 because of the auction price. Has anyone else ever notice the ipac's emucade sells that go for $20 over retail on a regular basis?? He was cool though and did what I described above. I originally offered to pay his relisting fee's, but this was the option he told me about |
