Ebay does suck indeed. They have failed to protect either party. See all those “NEW” N900's out there. Or the “genuine” parts for phones. Or the class 10 sd's. The hassle and cost to return an item is usually higher than ordering a new one and sellers know this offering crappy products. Ebay, instead of making it mandatory for the seller to pay return shipping they just impose strict rules and give absolute power to the buyer (sellers can't give feedback etc)

I am on a negative feedback spree...
