One of the game discs I recently bought off of Ebay was scratched so badly when I received it that it's broken beyond repair, and the item description never mentioned any disc damage. I was so fucking pissed that I demanded a refund. Hopefully he'll comply.
Unfortunately, a previous auction didn't even allow any returns, which sucked big time because it was just as bad. Basically what happened was I bid on a model 1 Sega Genesis and a lot of 30+or- games. Turned out that only 5 or so of the cartridges worked; all the others were corroded so badly that they were beyond repair (one of them was Truxton! T-T ). Maybe the seller didn't realize that they were beyond repair but either way it was a total let down.
What are your online auction stories?

I bought a Shanling T-100 CD player and the seller didn't send the remote and never replied to me after asking for it.

I don't know if I've been scammed exactly, but a lot of ebay orders I make come from China (memory cards, some gaming accessories, etc), and often have a long shipping time. I usually give it a week after the predicted time window before contacting them. I don't think I've ever had a case where the seller hasn't reimbursed me.
I know Paypal offers buyer protection through eBay, so if you've opened a dispute and the seller refuses to respond, you still should be able to get your money back. Other online retailers where you can order from 3rd party sellers (like Amazon) offer similar protection. I believe this also applies for eBay in cases where the seller has 'no refunds' listed, but has inaccurate description.

There's no way to scam them unless the buyers just ignores being scammed. |

I'd rather not. The memories are too painful. |
