YEP !!
They have MORE ways of "getting out" of being responsible for anything that goes wrong than a "fly by night" operator.
They apparently operate on the "caveat emptor" principle, "buyer beware".
SOFTWARE is especially bad, as most is either illegal CD-R "backups" or OEM, (Which has NO warranty from the manufacturer AND is ONLY supposed to be sold WITH a system!!)
I SELDOM buy anything there anymore, unless I can tell FROM THE PICTURES that it is what I want AND the seller has a 90%+ positive rating.

Yes it was for a $40.00 item and I live in Illinois and he lives in California. There wasn't really anything I could do about it. When buying on eBay make sure the seller has a high enough rating with a very high positive percentage. If the percentage is to low or the seller has no rating don't buy from them unless you are willing to risk losing.

I bought a usb cable for my camera and i had to stay on this person till i finally got it they supposedly shipped this thing 3 to 4 times and i finally received the last one they sent i would just do my research before buying something look at the feedback on the eBay store you are buying from personally would not buy from a individual on there

yes, bought an LaserDisc player for 5.00 and shipping was 30.00. Never got the item so i went a filed a report about it, they said i cannot get my money back because the bid had to be over 25.00. I was made because they dont care about how much the shipping price was. Do not buy something that has a high shipping price and a low bid because its a scam.

Yes, I bought an asian piece of art and never recieved it. Ebay told me there was nothing they could do about it. That's why now I read the feedback comments and look at the score before bidding.
