Why am I constantly being ripped off on ebay?
Of my 10 or so purchases on ebay so far, I've been satisfied with less than half of them. I order a pair of headlights for my car, "good condition"... one has brown stains on the inside from a burnt out bulb, the other has very hard to remove black marks, and they are shipped in a cardboard box with no padding. I buy a cradle for my Sony Clie organizer... the cradle drains the battery completely if you leave it on the cradle for more than an hour. And now, I buy a cellphone for not that much less than it retails for in the store, and it comes to me with a broken antenna, gets service absolutely nowhere, and comes with a manual for a completely different phone (also listed as new, in mint condition). To top it all off, I have to pay customs charges on the phone myself for some stupid reason, another thing which the seller failed to mention.
eBay can suck my left testicle.
That is all. |

| I've bought alot through ebay, never once been less then satisfied with my purchase. The only thing I can recommend to make your ebay experience go smooth is just keep checking the sellers user rating, make sure they are reliable. Bout all you can do. |

Couldn't think of much I'd want to buy on eBay with all the hassle. While you're on the internet you can probably find new stuff with warranty at cheapest prices anyhow.
BTW, headlights are normally something you buy at Wal-Mart or K-Mart.

Well my car is e and only a couple years away from breaking down completely, so I didn't want to waste a whole lotta cash on a brand new pair just because one of them was cracked. And for the phone, I am 6 months away from my contract expiration with my service provider and I figure I'll get a good new phone then, but for the next 6 months I don't wanna be stuck with my current POS phone.
Plus, both auctions *seemed* like good deals :mad: |

But you're paying for an ISP which costs more than the headlights.
Don't give me that...

| It's not ebay, It's the idiot people who sell it to you. |
