Hello Everyone

I just wanted to tell you about a bad experience I had on eBay.

I bought a digital camera bundle which I thought sounded like good value - tripod, camera bag, battery charger and sd card. I paid over ?20.00 for this. When the item arrived I could see that the carton in which the camera bundle was packaged clearly had the word ‘re-conditioned’ on it. This was not made clear at the time of purchase. The battery charger was cheap-looking and made from a cheap type of plastic. The camera bag was in fact a cheap-looking pouch and the tripod was so small that it was only good for putting on the table.

As you can imagine, I was not at all pleased with the item. The seller was made aware of my complaint through the resolution centre, but to no avail. However, the seller did offer to send me ?5.00 to buy a replacement battery charger but I refused this offer because my complaint was not only about the the battery charger. An honest seller would have offered me a full re-fund.

Be careful!!! There are sellers who will sell you poor quality or secondhand items as new. You may not get recompense from these people - even sellers who have a high positive rating can cheat you.

Thank you for reading.
