Complain to eBay?! This is a joke, right?
No, not at all....I do quite a bit...I've never lost a dispute and
never not gotten a refund from PayPal.
Just finding the right link is an exercise it itself, let alone be
able to talk to a real person. Oh by the way, if you're interested
in an illegal CB linear, new or used, tube or solid state, base
station or mobile, from a private party or company, you can find
over 100 listed 24/7 on Upay, I mean eBay. And yes, I've discussed
the matter multiple times with both eBay and the FCC. The
result? Well, if you want an illegal CB linear just go to eBay 24/7...
Interesting....exactly what did the FCC say/do. One would have to
think that if they did nothing and ebay knew that the FCC regulated
the sales of linears, ebay might not get too concerned if the FCC isn't,
Still, each of us should still try the best we can to improve the
hobby rather than giving up. Too, we should be discerning in terms
of what situations we can change and which we can't. These are
responsibilities that come with being ham operators.
It's also the responsibility of anyone buys things, especially at
auctions. I used to restore antiques...and as part of the business
went to auctions 2 or 3 nights a week. I got burned once....and then
started to learn to protect meyelf. Unfortunately there was no
mailing list or web page that taught folks about rafter bids and the
like. Was the auctioneer crooked? Yep. Was I uninformed? Yep. So I
have to take part of the blame for being fleeced.
