andy beckerhi al,
that sux. i would request contact information through ebay. speak to the seller direct and tell him/her that you will be outing the seller by ebay id on this board. and that all you are asking for is a refund.
if he/she will not conform, (and i suspect they will not) i would then follow thru, out them on this board...and let it go.
i know $200 is nothing to sneeze at, but if you resell it on ebay as ex/mt but trimmed, you will recover about half of the cost.
i would also try to contact paypal....over the phone, not email.
or perhaps you can leave paypal out and file a claim with ebay. ebay has $200 free insurance with every purchase.
you will have the $25 deductable, plus a long wait for your money.....but i have had success with ebay in filing claims.
hope that helps.
good luck, al.
