Some of you guys may have seen this thread from a girl in TX who bought a u=
sed 4-in-1 RB M2 header from eBay. It came with heat tape wrapped around "o=
ne" of the tubes. Well a couple of days later she finds this big dent. Appa=
rently a previous owner had used bondo/filler and wrapped it with "tape". S=
he paid $330 for this fiasco. When she asked the seller about it, he "claim=
ed" that he didn't know about it (sure...) and that he bought it used himse=
lf.

I feel bad for her. She's told me in email that she's tried to contact the =
seller 4 or 5 times and it appears he's blowing her off. miatafo=
rum.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=3Dget_topic;f=3D1;t=3D016467

Is this Mason person (email (email redacted)) a member of the power list? Am=
I wrong for thinking he should refund her money entirely and take this up =
with his purported previous owner?

Nah, the way EBay works he'll post a counter to her bad rating and people will ignore her and he'll go on selling things.

I agree that he is accountable and if he hopes to sell anything on the net again it would be wise on his part to say something.

E-bay has a fraud investigation department, from which, if you file in time=
, you can get a partial refund from them directly. During the investigatio=
n, E-bay will put the magnifying glass on the seller. Might be worth looki=
ng into.
