Follow-up concerning problematic seller Message #1 Posted by Pascal on 3 Feb 2004, 3:31 p.m.
I would like to post a follow-up concerning a problem I had with an ebay seller, see Matthias' thread http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv014.cgi?read=49712 concerning the same seller.
The seller (destinyh143, now called **noreserve**) first refused to ship an HP-38C I payed $56 plus $25 shipping after he made a mistake shipping it to Canada instead of Switzerland, saying he was not ready to pay again for shipping. After posting in the this forum, he promised to ship the calculator, 4 months after I payed!
The good news is that I received the calculator ! the bad news is that I realized that shipping to Switzerland did cost him only $13 and he charged me $25 !! And he was not ready to pay "again" for shipping, knowing that shipping to Canada did cost him $7, which left $18 for shipping to Switzerland !!
MY ADVICE : BEWARE OF THIS SELLER, HE IS NOT VERY HONEST. BID AT YOUR OWN RISK.
