Damn John,
I couldn't have put it better myself without a few choice words...
I love it when they cry about getting ripped, then I rip there ass for
dealing with e-bay. I have a DUMB ASS friend that has been screwed
at least 5 times on that place. But the clown keeps going back. So he
deserves what he gets.

I personally don't care for eBay - it's a marvelous safe haven for rip off
artists - con men (those selling "junk" equipment as MINT) - and crooks.

Your only recourse is to complain to eBay who does - nothing. They don't
care. They got money when the item was posted - again when the item was
sold, and again if the buyer used Paypal to pay for the goods (which eBay
now owns)...

They reply to all complaints with computer 'canned' messages that the
buyer
and seller should try and 'work it out' ("Can't we all just get along?")
and - a last resort - to post "negative feedback" in the crooks
ccount --
who will simply turn around and post negative feedback about YOU out of
spite...

This one particular low life has since opened up a different account with
eBay (too many negatives under his other made up name (another practice
which should NOT be allowed!) and is doing it all over again.

We've reported his new actions to eBay - without a response. So, he'll do
it again, and again, and again under different names... Ebay has his
(real)
personal information - they could ban him from the site - but they don't.
They're still making money regardless of who gets ripped off in the
process.

Ebay sucks.

They should be shut down as promoters of larceny, rip-off artists, and as
a
haven for crooks - or better yet - be held *culpable* for the crooked
dealings resulting from their use of their site...

Got ripped off on eBay? Tough. Tell it to the Chaplain.

Just my thoughts...
