I bought a radio described as in very good condition. when I got it, I would
rate it fair to good. when I wrote the seller, here was his first response:

I am sorry to hear that but this item is being sold
as-is. This was listed
very clearly. There is nothing we can do for you on this item.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.



no where did he address that he was not giving the truth in the auction.

when I told him I would have to leave a negative for him, here was his
response:

Expect a negative in return for a buyer who doesn't read
auctions and is quick to leave negative feedback. Hope
your perfect record is worth it.


now where does "as-is" mean you can LIE about the item you are selling ? How
was I quick, I wrote him and he told me tough luck !

this is an area where the eBay system is seriously flawed. How can I give a
negative without getting one I don't deserve. maybe a class action alw suit
is in order here !


My first question would be whether your idea of very good condition is
the same as the sellers. Also, were there pictures you were able to
look at? Believe me, I sympathize with you but if the auction said "as
is", you really have no recourse and I don't think the bad feedback is
worth what you *won't* gain from it. Sometimes I hate the "system"......

Best,
