| I mostly buy OOP music & books. Recently, I needed a new cell phone and my contract was not up yet. Bought one for about $100 from one of the "power sellers" on Ebay. When I went to activate at the store, they told me it was stolen, immediately confiscated it and recommended I file a police report. Figured it was an honest mistake from the seller, contacted him and he immediately refunded plus a little extra for my trouble. No threats or anger necessary (though I would have filed the report if he hadn't made good). Wound up leaving positive feedback for him and he replied in kind. I find most sellers are honest, but I am very diligent in reading the feedback before I place a bid. |
