I have learned over the course of 4 years of selling on E-Bay and I have a 100%+ FeedBack, that I WILL NOT buy or bid on a item no matter how good it is unless I have delt with the seller befor, or I have had a fellow friend e-bayer reccomend them. It's just not worth the hassle as what your going through. 3 years ago I bought over $2,000.00 worth of Coins from a seller who claimed he shipped them, he kept giving me false tracking numbers, and kept selling the same coins to other buyers. Finally I caught on and contacted e-bay and told them, and they did NOTHING! I also contacted the other buyers he was selling to and they did'nt believe me. Well a long story shot, the other sellers did'nt get there's either, and they e-mailed me saying they wished they had, and some of them sent MO's and lost there money. I finally after 2 months got my money back from my credit card company, without e-bay's help, Pay-Pal helped me. And then e-bay finally threw him off e-bay and the credircard company put a lean on him. So beware and check the preveious buyers of sellers items and ask them what there experiences were with the seller befor you bid. Most Sellers are good people, but there are always a few bad apples in the bunch. I really hope you get your camera. Like this forum, and your help......I always ask befor I buy......Best of Luck to You!
