There is a seller on one of the auction sites, selling these and padding the shipping costs by almost 1,000%. I paid to insure mine and didn't even get that. Beware!!!!!!!!!!

Flash - as a buyer that was burned, turn him in to Safe Harbor. He'll continue to get away with it unless someone stands up to him and takes some action. If not for yourself, do it for your shooting brothers. L.

Ladobe,
I researched the "Safe Harbor" area of Ebay and it no longer exsists. Ebay recomends that I ask for the seller's information and contact him by phone for resolution. I have had my check card (ATM) number stolen about two years ago and $800 was charged on Ebay purchases. The bank wouldn't give me all the details but told me that they recovered my money and that it was back in my account. When the case was turned over to the police, it became obvious that someone had just "Ate" the loss, rather than go through litigation. There is a seller from Canada that uses profanity, name calling and has close to 200 negative feedback entries and is to this day, doing a thriving business on Ebay. He get's a negative remark from buyers almost weekly and responds with insults but is still in business. I just want everyone here to be cautious, that's all. Contacting Ebay is like peeing in the wind.

Flash - I can't agree with you... SafeHarbor does still exist on Ebay, and still has the SafeTrade and Fraud Alert capabilities it has always had. You just have to go through the process - a pain I agree, but if you want justice or your money back when using Ebay, its the price you have to pay.

Unfortunantly, few users will take the time to police the slobs selling and buying on Ebay anymore. As one who had been using the service almost from its first day on-line, I seldom use it anymore because with the shear number of members now, and the percentage of less than honest buyers and sellers that has also sharply risen. While I have had problems with both buyers and sellers over the years a number of times, I have always got them resolved in an acceptable way - both on my own, and with Ebays help. Using Ebay successfully requires work on your part, lots of product knowledge and to a point being Internet "street wise".

As for the clown with all the negative feedbacks - anyone who bids on Ebay without first checking the seller out - asking questions FIRST, gets what he deserves. Failing to do so is, as you said, peeing in the wind. Even with all the neg FB's this guy has, did anyone take the time to file a formal complaint with Ebay? Doubt it. If even a small number of those 200 had......

We all greatly appriciate your "heads up" about this slob seller Flash, and maybe some of the comments will be of help to anyone who frequents this forum. But we are getting way off topic, so I suggest if you want to continue it, we should do so in the "Humor and Off Topic Discussions Forum". If that's acceptable, drop me a PM and I'll move it there.

Thanks pard.
