Seller shipped a fake SanDisk card, and despite promises, has not refunded
the price.

Just so you know...

Now you know the reason why 'sleaze-bay' is such a fine thing to use.

Had you placed your order with B+H Photo, or KEH (in Atlanta) or even
Wal-mart, you would have the option of making a return.

The money you "saved" on e-bay was not really worth it, was it?

Life is a learning situation: and you took the chance and have learned
from it.

I've bought and sold lots of stuff on ebay, and this is the first problem.
And yes, I've saved a ton of money using ebay, this item notwithstanding.

Thanks, but I already had a mother...

People have bad experiences with "reputable" outlets, too. If you
don't like or trust eBay, that's fine. But the phenomenal success of
eBay indicates that many buyers are very satisfied.

Had you placed your order with B+H Photo, or KEH (in Atlanta) or even
Wal-mart, you would have the option of making a return.


Most eBayers accept returns. Scammers, obviously, don't.

You have to look at all eBay purchases, not just the ones that go
sour. I've made 80+ purchases on eBay with only one that was less than
satisfactory--and even then the problems I had could have been on my
end. The money I saved on the other 79+ items *easily* covered this
one item.

Life is a learning situation: and you took the chance and have learned
from it.


Get that from a fortune cookie?

Well, I hope he gave the seller bad feedback......At least, eBay does have a
feedback system that allows you to do that.....If you get screwed by a store
downtown, you don't even have that option. All you can do is to no longer
patronize that particular store.....

Correct, and I've used every tool at my disposal to warn others about this
seller. Yes, I got burned for about $50. But there's no reason for anyone
else to get burned.

I feel a, "wacko retailers I have known" rant coming on.....I think I'll go
lie down for a while until the feeling goes away........

Any chance you can check the City of New York web-site?

A business needs a city license to sell wholesale. Too many complaints
and a business may not end up with a license to stay in business.

Paying with a credit card is also a means to 'protect' your purchase.

(But for a person getting a 'other' than ordered memory card from e-bay
gets the "standard, you bought it __ you live with it." How good life
is.....)

I usually just order from B&H. Takes about 5 minutes on their website.
Always get my stuff a couple of days later. Boring as hell.
