I suspect that Mr. 434 didn't know
what he / she was dealing with and was lucky not to lose > 202.50 worth
of their money and a lot of time.
thanks

Time maybe, money no. This is the one reason eBay stays in business and people spend money
there. You are basically guaranteed not to get screwed as a buyer - the same can't be
said at many of the other sites (e.g. Etsy). This is also why sellers won't leave eBay
because the buyers are not willing to go to a site w/ no guarantees, drop a wad of cash,
and hope the seller delivers! Sellers can complain as much as they want but the truth is
the eBay model allows and encourages bigger bids/higher selling prices.
