I know exactly the power supply Sellam is describing and talking
about as I've had to service a few for some mid-size businesses in my area.
Secondly, anyone with a clue would steer clear of a guy with a
username like bobs bid 1 ... Sounds entirely made-up and fraudulent
off the bat. Maybe next time the employee will be more careful and
pay some attention at least?
I too was taken by a schmuck like that a few years back. Paid good
money for some big boxy hard drives (4-10GB, 5.25, full-height, 10LB
brick, SCSI's). A--hole who sold them to me (decent ratings, very few
negatives and did not do more than say, 25-50 sales a week) sent them
simply wrapped in thin corrugated cardboard and tape (no padding,
etc). A few pins were bent on one of them, but amazingly, they all
worked fine with no bad sectors, etc. He even gave me negative
feedback 2 days after I paid, before I even received the item from
UPS ground. Again, gotta love eBay.

In fact, the
26000+ rating tells me that
he's to busy to test the stuff or to give reasonable service to his
customers. I've learned to stay away from sellers with HIGH transaction
numbers. They usually won't answer E-mail and their stuff is untested and
frequently poorly packed. All due to a lack of time caused by too
many sales!
Not to defend this guy or anything, but I bet he has at least a few
employees. With those kinds of numbers you have to. Remember that only
about half of the transactions show up on the feedback, and many of those
do not make the number increase (repeat customers). I would bet that he
has done something like 50-60000 transactions in total. One person acting
alone, running absolutely full throttle, could only do maybe 5000
transactions a year.
