I got taken for about $75. After pursuing the matter for a day I dropped it. I was losing money every additional minute I put into it.
In any event, good feedback rating or poor feedback rating, eBay can go pound sand. I shop on-line now through one source that includes auctions along with links to manufacturers, retail outlets, and service providers. Plus, I'm given a rebate for all my purchases and for purchases of people I refer to the site. Any problems and I pick up the phone and speak LIVE to a real person who actually helps me.
That is difficult to do and can easily be checked out by looking at feedback of the buyers who left the feedback for the seller.

You forgot the first rule of online bidding/shopping; if the deal looks to good to be true, it probably is.
