Recently I bought a 4K PC monitor on eBay (normally I prefer to buy such items from a local store, but this looked like a fairly good deal). I found that the monitor had a high-pitched noise when turned on, and the seller accepted returns with a pre-paid shipping label, so I initiated the return process and shipped the item back. I stated the reason was due to the high-pitched noise. Today the seller issued a refund, but only half the amount. The seller says the monitor was returned with a cracked screen. I've contacted the seller so far to say the screen wasn't cracked, but unfortunately I didn't think to take pictures of the monitor before returning it. I'm not sure if I'm out of luck on this one, or if the seller is trying to scam me..

Ebay is full of scams these days. I bought some Energizer CR2032 batteries. Supposedly, 2017 stock, but the copyright was 2016 when I got them.
Could it be that they were 2017 stock that just had a 2016 copyright?
I'll never know, as there was no expiration date on the packaging. In this case, 1 year really doesn't make much difference for a lithium button battery that will be used in a key fob, but if I were replacing a clock battery in
a computer, I might care.
Sometimes I get items completely different than what the ad claims.
I would think Ebay's buyer protection would have your back, hopefully.
I hope you get it worked out. Ebay has always been very good at helping
me with disputes. It's very rare that I ever have to file one, but they've saved my can a time or two.

I'm seeing the same thing with Amazon lately. I've ordered
Amazon only to get cheap knockoffs.
I only purchase items from Amazon that are 'Fulfilled by
Amazon" for that very reason.

Glad to hear it - I'd leave negative feedback for the seller if they didn't clearly spell their behavior on returns in the auction.

It seems products fulfilled by Amazon are getting fewer these days compared to the overall items they have. I've been noticing more and more items from 3rd-party sellers on Amazon these days.

I would have to buy $24 worth, giving me 48 coin batteries. That's a bit more than I need. Even though some Dollar Tree's carry the Sunbeam
CR2032 lithium battery, mine does not. In fact, they do not carry any
of the lithium batteries that you find on their web site. Our Dollar Tree is odd. They do this with toilet brushes as well. I have to drive clear
on the other side of the city just to get a toilet brush from them, about

So, what exactly does 3rd party sellers mean?
thats ok, I liked shopping on e-bay, but I have had difficulty having a bank account. So, brilliantly found out about gas station calling cards, that double as debit cards, and I spent on month shopping on a card, and then let it default and dissapear, just as soon as they send me a plastic version for 5 bucks a month. I have been scolded about bad banking before, but as long as I dont go home with the paper, that bank card will never know I spent all the money. and it takes about a month to transfwrr it to paypal too.

It always amazed me the amount of times I hear "it must have gotten lost in the mail" or something to that effect. Funny, in all the years I've been sending items through USPS not once has anything gotten "lost". Yet with some folks it seems to be a regular occurence.

It does happen. I needed to get a package to my cousin quickly, who lives just about 30 miles from me (in Southern California), and rather than deal with the traffic (91 fwy), I chose to "ship" it priority mail.
Whenever I get a customer service agent in person or on the phone tell me why some system or policy is preventing them from doing something, I feel like saying, slowly and with deliberation, "I. Don't. Care." Your systems are not my problem.

remember ordering some things from Amazon where the item didn't arrive when expected, and after a couple days I thought it wasn't going to arrive at all, but it did arrive a few days later and apparently had been delivered to the wrong address. Occasionally I'll get a piece of mail in my mailbox that was meant for another adddress but was delivered to my mailbox by mistake.

DHL was good at shipping packages from LA to SF via Ohio.

How often has that happened? I'm not sure I'd really expect someone to contact me about a mis-delivered package.
