ebay has been absolutely (bleep) during this entire process. The seller's return address was incorrect in the case and ebay would not allow them to update it. On top of it, eBay informed me that if I ship it to any other address (even one provided by the seller as a correction in the messages) then I'd not be covered in the case of a dispute by the seller.

 

So this dragged out the process by a few weeks. I contacted eBay numerous times and was told conflicting information during every contact.

 

About a week ago, they closed the case in my favor without me returning the pen! Then they, just as abruptly, opened it and closed it against me claiming that I failed to return the pen even after the seller provided an updated address via ebay messages!!!

 

I had to talk to a few different representatives, but in the end found the one who realized what was happening. They allowed me to return the pen to the updated address and it's been received by the seller. Just waiting on eBay to issue the refund.

Argh! Im in the process of returning a 142 that was not at all as described. I hope all goes well

[kandarp]

Good luck. I'm confident you'll and I will get our money back. eBay just made this extremely complicated for no reason.

eVilbay strikes again I sold a few items years ago before deciding that it was a terrible place to do business as a seller. It is unfortunate to see them being terrible to buyers as well.

Is it being offered on ebay again currently?

[kandarp]

Yes, the seller just relisted it. Also, the description has not been updated and still claims that the pen is in great shape.

 

eBay is yet to process the refund since the seller has not marked this as delivered. Even the tracking information says delivered but eBay is just not willing to issue the refund.

I agree with Michaels assessments. My guess is there was a crack at the end of the original threads and the repair person trimmed them. Perhaps the warping in the window came from heat misapplied?

 

This is the correct interpretation of the issue.

Thank you all for this excellent thread.

I am concerned about the same thing. Do let us know how it goes. Thanks

[Michael R.]

Sorry to hear that it didn't go as wished.

 

I thought to recognize that pen on ebay again ... but was not sure.

 

Cheers
