Sorry to hear about your bad experience......

One of the first things I do when considering bidding on an ebay
item is......LOOK AT THE SELLER'S FEEDBACK!!
If the feedback score is lower than 99%....I take a careful look
at the individual negative comments. If I see several....especi-
ally if there is more than one of the same type of complaint....
and/or the person didn't post a defensive response to the neg-
ative comments.....I quickly hit the 'back' button.

Another thing that sets off the alarm bells is a 'stock photo' on
an ad. You know....one of those really nice, professional-type
photos such as appears in a catalog. This usually means that
the seller is advertising merchandise from a source that uses
DROP-SHIPPING! The seller doesn't have the item in his pos-
session....he just sends the winning bidder's personal info to
the company he's dealing with and they ship the item to the
winning bidder. That is, they *may* ship it promptly -- or
may NOT! If the drop-shipping company happens to be 'out-
of-stock' on that particular item....OR....have a bunch of dope-
snorting kids in their shipping dept. who lose your order....OR.....
just don't give a shit if your item gets shipped or not........Well,
you get the idea!
So a 'stock photo' in an ad is another thing that will shy me away.

Hope this helps.
