Of late, I've been quite skeptical about buying online, it is very difficult to trust sellers even those who have a good rating.
For starters, I've been noticing a new trend among sellers, they show you a nice picture of the product, usually copied from some other site, below which is the disclaimer that models change from time to time and they cant guarantee the same product. Almost always, it turns out to be quite inferior to that shown in the picture... almost like a toy and there's nothing you can do about it, who wants to waste time haggling about a cheap product?
Another thing that I've noticed is that when searching for a product or browsing through a category, the same product comes again and again tens of times... same price from the same seller. Maybe Ebay thinks we have lots of time to while away on the net, but for me it is positively frustrating. I've complained about it once and nothing has happened... For me, I'm going back to old time shopping..
and whats worse, some of them openly threaten on their page saying a negative rating will be returned by a negative rating... time to exit this jungle raj...
