yeah mike, no one is bashing on you bro.
ask for a refund and tell him it was an honest mistake. he might not be 100% happy that your doing so, but if you feel that your getting jipped then ask for a refund.
plowboy, you gotta read the rules about selling on ebay. lots of requirements to sell. the biggest is that all items sold need to be shipped with a delivery confirmation, tracking is optional based on the seller. some of these sellers dont get paid until feedback is left and it has to be positive.
i just got a kit that i bid on. i opened the box and the wheels were missing. i messaged the seller about it, he wasnt aware that they were missing and offered a refund. i still wanted the kit so i asked for a 5 buck refund and got it.
moral of that: NOT ALL sellers are out to get/keep your money.
