ebay: cell phone broken after 3 days

sebas

Hi All,

I bought a cell phone for 47 euros + 10 for shipping. It's headset socket has broken after 3 days. So I could spend another 10 euros for send it back and wait for a replacement... not sure if I have to pay also another 10 euros for they send it back to me...

the thing is that I do not want to spend another 10 euros... that would be 20 euros of shipping over a phone worth 47 !!!! it is a ripp off... and then I should around 2 months to get the replacement...

I am sure that the seller is aware of it... and it uses to ripp off the people "legally"... so I propoused the seller to send me a MP3 player as compensation and ofcourse the seller told me : "we will be happy to replace your phone etc..."...

using this system, of selling cheap items that break after few days, the seller is sure to get positive feedbacks (before the item breaks) and in the same time, he doesn't get any replacement order as the items are to cheap to send them back !!! for my point of view it is a rippoff !!!!

so,

how can I repport the bad quality of that item so that other buyers will not buy the same crap ? :mad:

thanks guys !

Nope, except using Feedback. If you've already left feedback, then there's nothing else you can do.

Did you pay via Paypal?

If you did you could open a dispute. More info here: https://www.paypal.com/helpcenter/main.jsp;jsessionid=dKpXKQRSy4CGV617mLXdZmdNl2HKcLhttF211DLS22JRnh8sxnQF!-1020272915?locale=en_US&_dyncharset=UTF-8&countrycode=US&cmd=_help-ext&serverInstance=9006&t=browseTab&sidetopic=800060&opentopic=800060

If you don't mind me saying so.... if you think you are buying something at a price that is too good to be true, then it probably is. ALWAYS read the small print on ebay ads. I learned the hard way myself. :rolleyes:
