Of many microscope items that I have bought over the years on eBay,
maybe 1 in 30 transactions has not been satisfactory. Those are not bad
odds. Some of the problems were actually my fault in that I did not
read the descriptions carefully enough about condition and accessories.
Or worse, I got greedy about getting something for a price much lower
than expected, and lost my common-sense caution that should sound a
warning in my head. Another problem is how heavy items are packed for
shipment. Some sellers have no idea how to pack a microscope properly,
and about the rough handling the shipping company is likely to inflict
on it. I doubt that many sellers do it deliberately, because it is a
real hassle to get a damage claim paid by the shipper. The other
problem is as you note, some sellers are very, very slow to get around
to actually sending it. You should always complain to eBay before you
leave negative feedback. Greg
