    Ebay is a scammers wet dream. 'Buyers' can't lose. Be careful and use Ebay for very low value items and hope not to get burned.

    Didnt even think they actually read any of the details - thought they just pressed a big red button marked 'buyer wins' :D
    I'd have thought they were more careful about reading details the higher the value and item.

    Awesome thread! I enjoyed reading it! This must be the first thread of this kind where the seller actually gets one up on those 'effing buyers.

    Sadly alot of people in your position still get the short straw in the great scheme of things :-(
