Re: Worst times ever for eBay microscopes

I don't think I will leave feedback. The seller sent other people their
items and they left positive feedback. The seller didn't reply to my emails
and the ebay contact the seller link asking if my microscope had been
shipped. After I filed the PayPal claim the seller contacted me right away
asking if I still wanted the item. Before filing the claim the seller would
not reply to my emails. I have a feeling that something is not right. PayPal
will refund my money so it will just be a waste of time for me.

It seemed disrespectful for the seller to not reply to my emails for more
than a week. I've decided that I will do the same thing and not respond to
his emails.

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
