In Reply to: Ebay ripoff?...or lazy seller? posted by Craig25 on April 22, 2003 at 17:01:00:
I would probably say they're just lazy. I agree with you on not wanting to buy anything that doesn't have the actual item for sale pictured, but I have noticed that a lot of people either don't put up pictures or put up pictures from other auctions or from the manufacturer's website. But I generally don't bid on anything without first asking the seller a few questions. I do this first just to clarify issues missing in the listing, but also to get a read on the seller and how quickly they respond.Another thing I always do on eBay is check out the feedback and concentrate on any negatives. I have even e-mailed the person who gave them negative feedback at times (and other have done the same for feedback I've left).
I've only been really burned once and unfotunately that was one of the most expensive things I ever bought (an older Sony camcorder). Generally I stay away from most electronics with moving parts on eBay. I would never buy a used CD or DVD player there. I did pick up a Luxman receiver and also got a decent amount of music production gear with good results, never with any bad results.
My advice... ask questions of the seller. If you get any hint of suspiscion, don't do it. Better safe than ripped off.
