Let The Buyer Beware

[benkilt]

I ordered a 'deluxe, three strapped, 8 yard, heavyweight wool' kilt from a shop on E Bay, and received a 5 yard, two strapped, somethingweight, polyviscose kilt instead, fortunately I'd paid what was a fair price for the thing I received, so was disappointed rather than robbed, but that was down to my judgement rather than the vendor. When I told the vendor about the discrepancy, they just said that the advert they ran was the one they were given by their suppier, and that they personally wouldn't know the difference anyway. The ability to count up to 3 would have sufficed, surely?

Sorry about your troubles. Seller's name please? How else are we to avoid falling prey to unethical vendors.

Best regards,

That is fraud. They know it and so should you. As an eBay seller for ten years I'm here to tell you that eBay will boot them in a flash. Persue it. You were cheated. That doesn't work.

Most unfortunate. I don't know the rules of Ebay (I tend to keep away from it) but it certainly sound fraudulent.
