Couple ebay sellers I'll be avoiding in the future.

Had the lovely experience of trying to make purchases with 2 separate ebay vendors and ended up with the same agonizing result. Both employed wanting a deposit sent to hold "the coral" but little do you know "the coral" that is being referred to is not in any way shape or form the one being discussed and agreed upon. Both went so far as when the paypal request came for not only the deposit but the total price as well that it had different terms stated on it than what was agreed upon only minutes before. When pointing this out one response was go ahead and make payment for the wrong terms and I'll send you the right one...yeah right. When I didn't and asked for an updated one sent I one vendor stopped responding completely and the other said I was banned from any auctions and actually threatened to sue me. Live and learn is very appropriate here I will be sticking to buying from reefers not someone trying to make a business by lying and scamming to make a buck. Thank god for the many people here whos word and reputation actually mean something to them.

ebay has its good and bad....read their feedback,,,ask others that gave feedback,,,and whats so bad about being banned from buying from an unscupulous seller?

i have to strongly agree with KimP,,,,sponsors of a reputable site must maintain their reps, or the site will no longer want them as a sponsor. on ebay,,,all they have to dois change their name and they have a whole new chance to rip people off.

hey wit- doesnt ebay have a way of tracking user names? as an ebayer, i try my darndest to fulfill my end of the bargain, whether the profit is lost or fulfilled on my behalf, as long as the original terms which are agreed upon are met and executed properly. sad to see ebay is used as another way of ripping people off, as everything else has nowadays. i mean, come on.... where else can you find a CAN OF AIR from a MOVIE PREMEIR!!!! lol!!! i mean seriously.... :P
