In reply to the discussion: Buying from Amazon and eBay. I find that I trust Amazon more. [View all]Emrys
(7,232 posts)25. You should have contacted the seller and left appropriate feedback depending on the outcome.
There have been many cases of eBay buyers successfully rejecting, say, clothing because of cigarette smoking-related smells.
If the seller lived/worked in an animal shelter, it's possible their sense of smell was compromised by constant exposure, so they possibly didn't realize there was a problem, and without feedback, they'd never be any the wiser.
If you don't leave meaningful feedback for a transaction, then other buyers may have similar experiences. eBay used to be more of a community (warts and all), and feedback's still an important aspect of it. I look at leaving feedback as a way of saying thanks for good service and items, or warning other prospective buyers of any shortcomings.

The other accounts of experiences with eBay under this OP so far don't chime with mine at all.

I didn't mean to sound critical of you, which reading back, my post could have seemed.

Ditto, I know most purchases will be delivered in 2 days with Prime, ebay sellers mostly use USPS!
