I would not spend that kind of money on eBay.

literally hundreds of motorbikes bought and sold on there over the last 15 years, had up to 5 or 6 on there at a time before now, never a problem with cash on collection. Got another 2 going on next week.

Earlier this year I bought a "refurbished" mini mill, which was clearly not refurbished at all when it turned up, motor was misaligned, exposed wiring visible, various guards and knobs missing, still covered in brass shavings from its last job. Seller then became silent, stopped responding. Asked ebay to step in, they did, they gave the seller an extra 2 weeks to respond, and when he stayed silent they took the money back off him and gave me a full refund. No idea if the seller was trying to be an ass or if he'd dropped dead the day after he shipped the thing, but I ended up with my money back and the machine.

I've bought and sold a fair bit over the years. My biggest purchases any more are used lenses, generally 10+ years old and retro games. Never had a problem really. I've also sold things including antiques internationally and some buyers can be cunts and foreign posts are a bitch but I've had good experiences on eBay. It's PayPal I fucking loath but it's hard to separate the two.

"He does returns" how sweet. Its ebay rule -- 30 days no happy, u can return.

I've bought lots of stuff I did not like when it came in -- just returned it --usually due to it not being as described. Once just a mistake even ordering (some car parts .. ordered for wrong car, D-Oh.).

I never spent $1600 on an item but the ebay rules are clear.

Now, do you have paypal (PP)????? I do not, if your have PP then it goes by PP rules -- which might be less forgiving...no idea about that PP, never wanted it, never had it, never needed it.

I got a good deal on TSC coal at end of last season .. got 2 tons. But it required me moving every bag.

When I buy tons from a coal retailer its delivered on pallets that are easy to move.

Still, to save $1 a bag, I'll move 'em.

TSC coal burned fine.

Just bought a $700 soil compactor. Free freight delivery.

  • First unit got returned: freight shipper dropped the pallet. Box was busted open, even pallet was broken. Got refund.

  • Second seller wanted extra for house delivery. Canceled. Got refund.

  • Third and final seller came through.
