EBay,

1. Was very pleased with EBay for giving me heads up on the possibility of
an issue developing with the "seller" of this item, I promptly attempted
to cancel payment through my bank and with Ebay, was not successful as
one party was not allowing the cancellation and recoup of payment. Thus,
we went into arbitration and now I await repayment until the item
has been received back to the seller.

2. The item in question was a "bad" copy of the authentic product and was
found to be a "bad" copy by a reputable (Edwin Watts Golf) company after
I physically received and inspected the item myself. So it does hold
that "if it's too good to be true, it isn't".

3. I feel that a reverse of exchange of merchandise and monies should be
practiced with EBay, seller, and buyer. By this I mean, the merchandise
should be shipped to the prospective buyer for physical inspection,
whereby upon confirmation of receipt of item by the buyer is
accomplished (via EBay), the buyer now has let's say 10 days to give
confirmation of acceptance of the merchandise via EBay and then charged
to their credit card, or return the item with confirmation of a tracking
number as required on returns. But "charge" to the credit card is only
done after these confirmations, or EBay as "Mediator" holds the charge
until these confirmations are accomplished and then "release" the funds
to the seller. Why should the CUSTOMER (buyer) have to pay additional
fees (e.g. interest, shipping, time) after not being pleased or duped on
an item purchased ?? Correct, should not.

3. It will be some time before I make another purchase via EBay unless I
have made purchases in the past with a known, by me, "reputable" seller.
My story here of course will be shared with others with a "BEWARE"
beginning and ending to this story.

4. I am still awaiting restitution to the purchase I made and returned in
good faith. Thanx.
