I think I'm going to swear off eBay for good, as out of the last 6 or so auctions I've won, 5 of them were messed up.
-I bought 4 Spider-Man holos and one had a marker across it - seller said they were sold as is, though the scan showed them in mint.
-I bought a comic TPB w/ "minor wear" that had two cover creases, the back cover tearing off, and corner dings.
-I bought a single comic advertised in NM condition, paid $2 for shipping and rec'd it (shipped for $.57!) in a plain manilla envelope - comic creased heavily. Left negative feedback and the guy responsed that I was a "dishonest liar." Yeah, ok.
-I bought a lot of 3 Todd Toys (Creech, Shadowhawk, and Todd)and rec'd 2 of the right ones and a different one as the seller said he "must've mistyped his name." (The Heap for the Creech) He did make it right, however.
-I bought a cool action page from Spyboy (a comic series) and rec'd another Spyboy page (totally different, very lame, non-action) - the seller admits he "may" have made a mistake in the link (obviously, he did), but refuses to refund the $7 he charged to send it to me or the $7 its going to cost to send it back to him - all so I can get my $40 I paid for it back. This just happened today, so I dunno how it will ultimately turn out, but I'm pissed...
So...I've had enough... there are just too many dishonest people on eBay trying to screw people over.
