A few months ago I posted about my first UK eBay fail here. Now I've had another. I guess that when you consider how much I buy off of eBay that these types of things are bound to happen on occation. Still, I find it to be really dissapointing.
A few weeks ago I won an auction for 4 Grindley Tea/Coffee cups, as the seller listed it. What I recieved was 4 espresso, mini type cups.
Now, these are cute, really cute, and I might have bought them anyway if they had been listed properly. However, they aren't very useful and this isn't what the seller listed. So I contacted the seller and met a very rude woman. First she wouldn't let me send them back, then I raised a claim and was able to send them back, then she claimed that they were all broken and that I didn't pack them in anything, besides a box I assume. Of course they were packed very well, better than when she sent them to me.
In the end I asked eBay to make the final ruling and I got my money back and left negitive feedback. Part of me feels like I shouldn't have bothered to go to so much effort, sometimes I wouldn't bother. However, I think that its really important for sellers to know when they list things incorrectly. I think too many people just don't say anything and that makes it more difficult to deal with sellers when things are perfect.
Anyone have any bad eBay luck recently?

This is just to show you the size difference.
