THIS SELLER IS NOT HONEST!

I would be unable to write a complete review without mention of the seller.
I bought the item on the strength on the sellers description. The only honest part was it did have scratches on the case while everything else was a complete fabrication.
The ipod was represented to be in good working order. Another fabrication.
The ipod was dead when I received it and the seller said the post office must have "bumped" it during shipment. Again,nothing could be further from the truth.
Due to the amount of bubble wrap around the ipod, I seriously doubt that a thermonuclear explosion would have put a scratch on it, let alone cause any damage.
I put the unit on charge for 24 hours and it was still inoperable.
After consultation with a repair center I was informed that I could have kept it on charge until the end of the world as we know it and the unit would still not recharge because the battery was dead and beyond any re-charge possibility.
After a new battery was installed the screen displayed the "Sad Face" icon.
The disk drive was not operating and needed replaced because, it too, was beyond repair.
So, in conclusion, the description was a complete fabrication because it was not possible for the ipod to have been functional.
After contacting the seller, he said even tho the post office damaged his ipod, he would return my money ($40.00) and i did not have to return the unit because it was broken and he had no use for a broken ipod.
I put the situation into the Resolution Center and, as of this writing, have not been contacted by the seller.
In closing, this distasteful experience would in no way ever deter me from continuing to purchase from ebay.
This case is an anomaly, an irregularity, no more than a bump in the road when compared to the hundreds of thousands of ebay auctions or sales and the hundreds of thousands of people who are part and parcel of the honest ebay community. The real ebay community. A community that is as large as ebay and runs with as few glitches, is a community, in which, I am pleased to belong.
It is a classic case of one bad apple will not spoil the barrel.
VIVA EBAY!!
