ebay
I wont tell you guys what I did....But long story short I got screwed on ebay for a truck part.....
It showed the picture and it looked GREAT... The price was too good to be true...
" YEA YEA YEA I know"
but after bidding and winning and paying for it... I noticed it's a list of wholesalers IT'S NOT THE PART....
OK everyone take there shots at me ...
BUT I just wanted to inform others to READ carefully and dont let this happen to you.............

I always pay through Paypal. If something like this happens, you can file a claim stating that you never got it. Even if you did get it you might be a wee bit dishonest, but is stealing from thieves wrong?

i just looked at the site and read everything and it is clear what you were bidding on.
it even said not the item pictured in large type.
i just bought a digital camera on ebay, and i read every single word at least twice and than read at least 50 buyers comments before i purchased it.
i am not trying to be mean, but you should have known what you were bidding on.
sorry your ebay experience was a bad one.

It's very clear that auction was for a "list".
I used to sell "interchange lists" for a variety of GM and Ford vehicles. I stopped because it was obvious to me people weren't reading the text and only looking at the pictures. I even put "list" in bold letters as well as on the pictures, to ensure it was obvious.
Oh well.

sometimes you've got to read the fine print......it wouldn't have hurt if you read the bold print too. 
You spent 23 bucks on a list. Not the worst thing in the world you could have done. I'd say it was money well spent if you learned a lesson

if you read his feedback, it seems he is a decent type. i would email him and ask if the bid can be withdrawn because of confusion on the fact it was only a list, and not the item itself. you may be surprised at his reply, and then there will be no need for negative feedback for either of you.

I am new to this site, but I do ebay alot. Try emailing the seller to see if you can withdraw your bid. Thank goodness you did not pay too much for the item. The seller may be cool about the situation, then again maybe you can make use of the list!
