Yeah, I should have done my homework better and refuse to even sell to him. The first warning sign was when he offered way lower price before the listing even ended. Unfortunately I was camping at that time and had really spotty network access to even respond. By the time I got back to civilization the listing had ended and he had out bid someone else. I only looked at his feedback which was 100% positive but I should have also looked at the feedback he had given which I did at later time. That reviled that he was very critical and probably didn't read the listings. I've learned my lesson and I will not give positive feedback to anyone before I get it and I've sold several items since without a single problem. I even sold the GPS in question at much higher price after I took the time to replace the battery myself. I'm now looking into Amazon as alternative place to sell my used stuff I don't need anymore.

Before I started selling on ebay I looked into a lot of issues. This site provides a lot of information on the upsides and downsides on ebay. I knew ahead of time that if a buyer complains that there would be a 99% probability that I would in some way shape or form be forced to issue a full refund including shipping. Ebay has a lot of both buyers and sellers who use and manipulate ebays policies to screw people. This site proves it so. And people can be stupid enough to not read the entire listing and I too had to deal with that issue but if I decided to get anal I would not only be forced to give them a refund but to also take a negative. In the back of my mind I would really hate to take a customer complaint and fight them....and have them come on this site and post a report on me. I'm not saying that what took place was right in this report because that does suck about what happend to you. You did your part by posting an accurate descrption but in the end you can turn a negative into a positive.
