Avoid "model-8" for CF cards (dbay seller)
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. = = = Kinon O'cann wrote: Seller shipped a fake SanDisk card, and despite promises, has not refunded the price.

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.

Now you know the reason why 'sleaze-bay' is such a fine thing to use. 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. The money you "saved" on e-bay was not really worth it, was it? 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? -Dave |

All you can do is to no longer patronize that particular store..... |

Avoid "model-8" for CF cards (dbay seller)
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.....) = = = William Graham wrote: "corks" wrote in message ... geee wheeze , the guy posted a warning to others not for you to get on your soapbox and pontificate ''shakes head'' 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.
