Ebay always favors the buyer in the dispute.

I have personal proof that is NOT TRUE. Especially with eBay braying about "buyer protection". My photos clearly showed that the plants were half dead garbage. The seller responded that "I should have planted them in a pot". Who plants marigolds and such in a pot vs. an excellent prepared garden plot? You shouldn't need to do that. They should thrive in the ground. I purchased some more marigolds and other annuals after this at a local grocery store, identical species to the garbage the seller mailed me. I planted them in the same garden plot and they grew to large sizes and bloomed all summer. But eBay sided with this unscrupulous seller, and I've read about many similar situations.

“Nonsense. CL will be around because it works and for most people it’s free.”

Completely agree. If it ain’t broke.....

I’m an occasional peddler and go through bouts of getting rid of niche items that I’ve collected.

This week I’ve put up a few things and had a pair of vacuum wiper motors sell.

I hope to get my feedback rating above 666 with those motors.

Whether anyone needs a helicopter gearbox or a gunner’s quadrant, who is to say?
