Feedback doesn't always mean very much. More than one of the sellers I've delt with as much as
told me that their feedback would automaticaly match mine. (If I gave them good feed back that's
what I'd get in return and the converse would be true, generated automaticaly). Luckly I didn't have
problems with their transactions.

Remember the Tamron 90/2.5 that I bought off ebay and turned out to be
a lemon? The seller thinks that fogging of internal elements and an
unresponsive iris are normal for a lens of this age, that it is is
good working order and that there are risks associated with buying
from ebay (I guess he meant there are risks associated with buying
from him). He also wished me good luck in my future purchases.

As I have kissed my 60 pounds goodbye, I think that some one with such
an attitude should not be left to deal on ebay. Has anybody ever filed
a complaint against a seller? Is SquareTrade the one and only option?



I did post a complaint to ebay UK, as both the seller and I are based in the country. They were sympathetic and suggested that I post a claim with the buyer protection programme. They asked simple things, though legwork was required to get a copy of the cheque and a report from a camera shop. They asked the seller his opinion and found in my favour. They withheld 15 pounds of my claim for administrative purposes and are now trying to put the money in my account (have failed once already).

Meanwhile, I posted appropriate feedback for the seller. As per the
advice from the list, with a few minutes to spare from the end of the
90-day period. He did not like it at all :-) However, people seem to
like him.

I have since bought a lot through ebay and I will soon try to embark
on selling too.
