E-bay and its sellers

The OP also said that the seller cancelled some sales and incorrectly reported that the buyer canceled.  So there’s a second infraction of eBay policies.

The OP may be venting, but he’s also warning us about potential buying issues on eBay.

I just sold a brand new espresso machine finger guard that I took off my grinder before using it.  Then the buyer sent me a return request with a picture of the guard with coffee grounds on it.  He said it was dirty and used.  So I was out the shipping to him, and returning it to me.  So there are bad buyers and sellers on eBay.

There's a market for espresso machine finger guards??!

We don't have the whole story here. There use to be a program called "The rest of the Story"... that's what we need "The rest of the story".

@tcotruvo - there are some bad buyers and sellers on eBay? Who would have guessed? 😀

Also, some sellers may consider absurd low-ball offers as insults to their intelligence and will respond accordingly, and I totally understand that. 

Carpathian:  I really don't have to do anything on here, because you folks can do it all......And to address the other noble statement, I have worked on tube electronics for more years than most of you folks have lived........Why don't you guess where I've worked ??   Because you are extra good at guessing ??    Give that a try and Ill let you know if you are correct.....
