A few years ago I was the high bid on an Exakta 35MM single lens reflex camera which was rated by the seller as being in "as new condition". I sent a postal money order and the camera arrived, but, all in parts, and most of those mangled up. I contacted the seller and complained. She laughed at me on the phone. I boiled about it for about an hour and contacted Ebay to inform them about this crooked seller. Guess what, she had already contacted them and claimed that I refused to send her any money, as she claimed the deal was a C.O.D.. I was at that time bidding on a few other items and Ebay shut off my bids. This means that I became guilty of non payment on each of those, as well. Because Ebay had shut me out, I could find no way of contacting them after that. I now, consider that seller in Florida as having ultimately done me a favor. I can't buy or sell there unless I elect to change my user name, email address, and internet provider. I have no intention of doing any of these and will just laugh at some of the unfortunate buyers and sellers on the Evil Bay.
