I wanted a joystick for my plus 4 that wasn't the flimsy commodore stick. So I bought one plus 4 stick off ebay since I wanted a made-for item.

But I'm not sure what to react since it was two things that wrong compared to the listing:
- the joystick was an 9 pin din stick, but with an added adapter to the plus 4, that was not shown in the listing, which just showed the stick, the cord went out off the picture and came into the picture to show the end plug.
- The joystick lacked the plastic bit in the rear to select autofire or not

(the black button here)

It was the same price as an (used) adapter would sell for. So the quickshot with lacking AF toggle costed me only the added postage (which is about the same as a coke in the supermarkets here). but I would just have bought an adapter if I knew.

I'm not bothering to go to too much trouble over this. The seller was extremly nice and gave me a postage quote which he found out was too high and refunded the difference. I'm just a bit baffled about the listing vs the reallity. I bought it as a true plus 4 stick.
 
i kind of know how you feel, few weeks ago i puchased a used apple wired keyboard, the seller just copied and pasted the item description from either an apple site or another ebay listing.
in the end i received the item minus usb extension cord which is vital to me because i have a mac pro and not an imac...in my case the seller was very rude and uplogetic, stating something like "take it up with ebay..."

:(
 
I got another one too. I won an auction for a two 6 button competition pro megadrive pad. the seller now claims that he can't understand it because he had just one for sale (it was two seperate auctions with unique photo.)

Which was quite an inconvinence, since I want two similar pads I now have to search high and low for a similar pad elsewhere. Plus I have to pay twice the shipping. How should I handle this seller? :ninja:

With all due respect, you should probably tackle the issue via eBay/Paypal's dispute programme, rather than rant here. We aren't eBay's complaints department! :p

What Andy said. :thumbsup:

There's only so much rantage on behalf of other sites that we will take, before infraction points start being dished out...

:dry:
