How was the ad worded??

Used, like new 2007 Bowtech Allegiance Left handed
335 fps IBO, Bowtech's fastest bow!!
33" axle to axle
60-70lb draw weight
26.5-30.5" draw length
80% let-off
This bow was used as a demonstration bow in our store. It has never left the store but has been shot.Demo Model
Bowtech is the number one bow company in the world and the Allegiance is their fastest shooting, hardest hitting bow!! You will be amazed at the speed and stunned at how quiet it is. Don't miss this great deal. Comes with a Bowtech cap.
Please email with questions.
Check out my other items!


Here it is. And there's another one listed in this guys' e-bay store.

archer... sorry I've been busy tonight as my wife was finally getting a night out with some friends, and I had both my 4 1/2-year-old and seven-month-old by myself here all night.

I will make sure the proper people are notified of this incident, and I'll get back to you as soon as I hear something.

I suspect this "Dealer" is a sudo and you're not going to get much satisfaction from BowTech. Let the buyer beware is especially true on Ebay. So you tried to save a dime and went the route and you got burned. At the first sign of trouble I'm sure you'd be going to the nearest BowTech dealer for help if the bow broke or had a problem. You should have gone there first. You wanted cheap.... you paid for it. You got what you paid for. He's not a bowtech dealer... he's a product mover.

I agree here. I can bet he's not a dealer at all, so contacting Bowtech may not help but who knows. It cant hurt the situation. Definitely contact eBay though about this and they can persue actions with the guy you bought it from.

My problem is that NO dealer ever carries Left Hand bows.
They don't want to order one. I was at a dealer 30 miles away and asked if they would get a LH for me to shoot , and i'd probably buy it. he said NO.
I wasn't trying to save $ , I was trying to get a LH bow.

I had the same thing happen to me with a golf club. Ebay will make it right but they will make you jump thru some hoops.

1. File a Dispute Report
2. You'll have to take the bow to a local dealer and have them putin writing what's wrong with it.
3. Ebay will work withyou both parties to solve the problem.
4. Make sure you leave Negative Feedback on the seller...
5. You have to pay some kind of fee. $20.00 I think. (Can't remember all the details.)
6. The whole process took about 2 weeks..

I can't remember if they will suspend the seller account, I think they do once you file a Dispute Report.

I kind of got screwed in the process because I told them it would take 60.00 to fix the golf club and that's all I got subtract the $20.00 fee so I end up with 40.00 and a skymark on the club. I would tell Ebay you want a full refund.

Hope that helps...

Well being left handed you do have some problems. That said, dealers do carry left handed bows at times. Find another dealer. They can't carry them all. I will say your prospects of getting satisfaction are far better from a dealer that will order it than from a no name on Ebay. You screwed up... plain and simple. Don't be bashing BowTech dealers.
