Guess what? After having been burned on Ebay for an item never sent to me, I learned that you can forget about getting any help from any of the "authorities" (Ebay, States attorney generals, BBB, etc), so do whatever you have to do, I say

Yea - It all leans way too hevy on the consumer side. It's the same when dealing with Visa, MC, etc - the burden of proof is on the vendor, and sometimes even if you do do everything right, you still get stuck with the chargeback.

Sucks.

Actually, some dude from a "Legitimate" company sold me a York Olympic weightlifting bar, and never sent it. I contacted Ebay, my state attorney general, his state attorney general, BBB, blah blah blah...to no avail. OK, so I just kept writing letters here, there, and everywhere, blah blah blah...so I finally get a letter, and a check, from the dude's mom. Apparently, the company was a one man show, things fell apart, and his mother claimed the dude went crazy (literally) over it. Supposedly was completely uncommunicativ e. Man, can I pick em.

eBay is now taking 10%, I believe. somebody needs to give them some serious competition

That was a great story.  Fuck that bitch.  She came up with the money only when she thought she could flip the tickets for a quick profit.
