Always pay for eBay items with your creditcard.. you have Fraud Protection at that point and can push it off to the credit card company!!

Forget about ebay helping you. They couldn't care less about buyers. >I'm willing to eat the deal to save my 100% Positive Feedback. Don't make your feedback rating a fetish. The more you do business at ebay the more certain that you will eventually get a vindictive negative. Lots of crooked and dumb people at ebay. >But, wondering if anyone knows how this could/should go. >Seems like there should be a way to warn others >without getting penalized with negative feedback oneself. If the seller won't accept he's wrong, there's nothing you can do except try to convince him that it's better for both if you return the item and he accepts it. On the other hand, be certain you are right in your claim and put yourself in the seller's shoes. My two cents. Ing. Pablo Roufogalis L.
