Members shaun126 Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 I just dont understand how you can get screwed over, as a BUYER on ebay. How did paypal not cover you? As a seller...yeah you are {censored}ed, but as a buyer they seem to take care of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 2, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 Then {censored} this thread. LOL Details would create more bad energy for me, so let me instead just offer some words of caution: 1. Americans should be wary of buying anything expensive from overseas in the current political climate. Our customs process is extremely rigorous lately, so packages might be delayed for as long as 6+ weeks. I opened a case on eBay, but there is even an expiration period for that. 2. Be wary of buying vintage pedals knowing that you will need to repair or modify them to make them operational. I bought a pedal that was wired for 110v. I purchased a transformer to convert it to 220v, and swapped it out when it arrived, thus nullifying any reasonable attempt to get a refund for it. 3. Last, but not least, be wary of any pedal that can only be fixed by less than a handful of people in the world. They have you by the balls.

No, I left it with the last repair engineer as payment for his rather less-than-sympathetic bench fees. I'm not saying anymore than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have every reason to be pissed. Being held at gunpoint is truly traumatic. I wouldn't be so calm under those circumstances, so I think you are reacting quite impressively.
