eBay Gulag - punishing the wrong people[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#5)
by wmbennett on Tue Dec 12, 2006 at 03:36:05 PM PDT

My daughter dropped her older-model digital camera and broke it. Since she had an expensive underwater case for that particular model, she went to eBay to buy an exact replacement. The camera she purchased arrived in a non-operative state -- completely dead. She even took it to an authorized camera repair center, but was told it was unrepairable. After a long hassle from the seller, she went through eBay's appeal process and her claim was denied on the basis that the seller's listing didn't specifically say the camera was in operating condition! That seller, to my knowledge, is still doing business on eBay. Seems like they're issuing parking tickets while the real crooks go on ripping off buyers.
