Re: watch out for this ebay seller

I've bought zillions of instruments on eVilBay and sold some (a far lesser number), but to give you a bit of the seller's perspective, here's a bad experience I had: My one non-positive feedback (neutral) was from an older fellow who bought a restored Selmer Centered Tone clarinet from me. I believe I had done a nice overhaul of the instrument and it certainly played well.

During the course of the auction the eventual buyer asked me quite a few questions, all of which I answered in detail. A couple of weeks after he 'won' the auction he demanded a refund, because he claimed it was a 'small-bore' CT and not the 'large-bore' CT he wanted. First of all, I wasn't even aware that the CT came in two different bore sizes; secondly, he had never asked me to measure the bore in the nearly dozen questions he had asked prior to the sale.

I refused to refund his money; my rationale was that the instrument was exactly as advertised and depicted (it was), and that I had willingly and completely answered all the questions he HAD asked prior to the sale. Nevertheless he gave me bad feedback.

Not trying to defend the seller in question in this thread, nor any other, just pointing out that the customer is not always right.
