So I'm a newbie at ebay and have a question.
When an auction describes something as "in great condition". Would you think anything is broken? Seller told me I should have asked if anything was broken before bidding. Is this what ebay is all about? I have to ask the seller if a piece is broken after he/she already describes it to be in great condition? |

you can easily open a claim with that because
when pay pal does their claim investigations they read your correspondences. you can forward any messages to them as proof. if the item is listed as 'great condition' there's no real grey area there. if it's broken and not in the description... open a case against him and if he still doesn't either give you some money back or allow a return.. then you can escalate the claim on his ass. make sure you use the message he sent you as applicable.

Don't worry though, ebay and paypal are dedicated to screwing-over sellers now. If the item you get isn't as described, even if there's little scratch on it, you can complain to paypal and they'll give you your money back. |

OK. So the seller says he will accept a return. Should I just ship it back to him and wait for my money via paypal after he receives the item?
Any help is appreciated as to what I should do properly so I can get my $ back without any hassle. Thanks. |

But literally patience and good communication between you and the seller are what you need to have in situations like this.... [I've seen pages of feedback on sellers that have dealt with new users who leave threatening, and rude feedback just cause they're pissed about something and didn't go through proper channels] I've been dealing on ebay the past 8 months or more so I know what you are dealing with. Edit: I sometimes advertise things as "in Great Condition" cause literally they are since I'm the type to take care of my stuff when I have it in my collection...

It all depends on the situation, but if they were good about everything else than I agree with you, but generally sellers like this are jackasses in my experiances with ebay since 2004.
