Ebay is getting to be a joke. The last two items I bought were
defective but it was not worth it to chargeback on my credit card.

Therefore I have become very wary of buying anything on Ebay unless
the seller agrees in advance to pay for the replacement shipped 2 day
and to pay for the return. If the seller can't make that guarantee,
then I do not want to have anything to do with them because I know I
could easily get burned again.

I would rather pay a little more where I can easily return the item if
it is defective, like WalMart.

Most items on Ebay are returned merchandise, so you are not getting
such a good deal after all.

Go to this link and see what I am talking about.

That's one place where Ebay sellers get their crap.
