The problem is E-Bay is pretty useless. First, I tried to submit a fraud report. They said that they would look into it, but when I called back later, it turns out there was no record of the conversation or anything being done. I think the rep just made some noises to get me off the phone, really.
Then I submitted bad feedback, which E-Bay removed. I spent about two hours on the phone with them discussing this, and their response was:
1) Sellers do not have to disclose things like restoration, repairs, or the fact that the item is not original...it is the buyers responsibility, and...
2) My feedback was not allowed because it 'contradicted' the seller's listing. The last is so bizarre I don't even understand it. Apparently, their argument was that I said it was restored, but the seller didn't put that in the listing, hence I can't post feedback contradicting the seller's lies. What???
After two hours of going in circles, the manager finally admitted that they shouldn't have removed my feedback in the first place, but there was nothing they could do. Supposedly they are going to 'look into' both the person who approved removing my feedback, and the seller, but based on what has happened so far, I seriously doubt anything will be done. Again, I think they just wanted to get me off the phone.
Hence, my posting here, and hopefully other buyers will see this and leave appropriate feedback.
Very dissapointed in the uselessness of E-Bay 'customer service'...
