Just wanted to write a comment on how ridiculous ebay is.
So I sold this console without a dvd drive to someone. He didn't do enough research to understand each xbox is paired to a specific type of dvd drive with a specific dvd key. He just slapped the cheapest xbox dvd drive he could find in there, it didn't work, and he said the console was unfixable, and disputed through ebay. Through a report system, I explained to ebay how the buyer ignorantly said it was unfixable, and did not go to lengths to get it fixed. I was not willing to give him a refund because the console had been tampered with. Ebay refunded him anyway as long as he sent it back. As soon as the shipping label said the console was at my house, ebay instantly refunded him. I come home later that night, plug the xbox in, look at that, 3 red rings. That is not the way I sent it to him, and shouldnt have been the way I got it back. I appealed the ebay case since the only reason he wanted to return is because he broke it, ebay said they are sticking with their decision to give him back his money. I am going to call ebay tomorrow, but do you guys have any advice on how I should go about doing something?
Its **** like this that ****es meoff. Ebay and paypal have full control over your money, and do stuff like this all the time. If there were other options that were big enough that people would buy, and sell through them, I would not be using paypal, or ebay.
