Ok - I bought some new Xmas light from ebay. The title of the Auction said 5 boxes of lights, and I got the set of 5 for $30. OK, seems fair. And the seller had a 100 % rating.



What do I get today. but a single box of lights, that are cheesy cheapo ones. GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!



I mean, i feel really ripped off now. So,I figured I'd be nice, give her a chance to send me the other lights, since she does have a high rating, but if she gives me trouble, I think i have an excellent case....here's the link to the auction - is there any room for misunderstanding????

Anyway - had to vent. THank you!! Jessica



From the title it sounds like all 5 boxes, what does the description say? Barb:o)

Well, in the tilte it says five boxes, but then says "boxes available" and now says four there. However, further down in the description, it says "a total of 175 lights!" so, it must be for all five!

Sigh. I love ebay, but some days. :)

Thanks for letting me vent,

Jessica

It says 5 boxes and I would have expected that 5 boxes would be sent. The shipping was high for just 1 box?

Well, I emailed her, and she said the others were shipped in a seperate box.

So - I feel better now. Would have helped had she warned me though! :)

It was one of those days anyway - crazy day at work.

I would contact ebay and paypal. We've had problems with them and their mediation is great!! Got the problem fixed and in a fairly quick manner as well. Hope it gets resolved for you soon.

It says there are 4 more available. Which means she had a total of 5 sets of lights for sale. She could have titled it a little better. Although she does have in her description "set of 5 boxes". The fact she also has "quantity: 4 available", I probably would have emailed her to ask why her own auction contradicts what she offered.

Don't give her ANY feedback until you recieve the other four sets.

Thanks all fo rthe advice. I actually received the other four sets yesterday, she just forgot to tell me that she'd shipped them seperately. I noticed the 4 available thing too, which was what made me suspicious in the first place.

I think it's all ok now though.

Thanks again!

would it have been that big of a deal to get a bigger box to ship all 5 sets together? Christina
