True, it was the seller and I guess it is buyer beware but it has made me very leary of using the ebay format of buying again.
I've bought 100+ items on ebay and had only a sngle bad one which ebay and the US Postal servcie recitified for a bunch of us that the selelr screwed. Don't discount them becasue of one seller. Check seeler's feedback and ratings.
