More Shade from eBay

Posted by becketma@yahoo.com (A) on April 20, 2010 at 20:39:36

A buyer used a different tester to check tube her purchased from me, and of course different results.

He contacted Ebay; eBay policy is that since his test results,using a different tester are different, once they confirm the tubes have been returned to me, they will charge back the amount to me, a full refund. One of the reasons the seller wanted to return one of the tubes is because one tube isn't balanced, test results on a Hickok 533A were listed at 1850 and 2220 over 1250.

SO, for eBay, the buyer's tube tester wins any dispute. I suspect that if the buyer claims he tried the tube and its too noisy or makes a popping sound, they are going to get a refund.

According to ebay, the only way to avoid a charge back like this is not to post any test results.

When I pointed out that some people buy tubes simply to see what they sound like, and want to return them if they don't like the sound, they suggested I review my selling policy to allow people to return tubes whose sound they don't like.
