I've had pretty good success with Ebay, have been burned twice. Item arrived broken and aeller wouldn't reply to my request for refund, and a seller listed an HL with a 3 digit LE in original box, but shipped a 4 digit of the same item and not in the original box. Replies to my inquire were answered with "Oh my store had several of these they must have shipped the wrong one, I'll have to check. Then, can't find the one listed, must have been sold." Yeah right! I left negative feedback. I made a mental note of both sellers, and ignored all their future listings.
Bob,
Then there are the sellers who don't discount shipping charges for multiple pieces. I bought six HL's from one seller where the individual shipping charge was $10 per piece. There were six separate auctions. I asked the seller if she would be willing to discount the shipping because you can ship six HL's together or in two or three boxes for much less. She didn't respond to three separate requests, so I paid $60 for a shipping charge. I figure she made an additional $25 or maybe a little more because of it. Needless to say I didn't smile over that deal. I also didn't leave any feedback either way. She advertised the shipping at $10 per auction, so she didn't lie, but it would have been nice to receive a small discount for buying six of her pieces. Such is life...
Out of curosity, did the seller combine the 6 HLs into a couple of boxes, or did you receive 6 different shipments?
