So, as someone new to ebay what I find curious is that some items are described as something that they are not - not to say "false" advertising but technically that is what it is. So the story, I bought one item that said it was copper and what I got was a foil. When I received the item I wondered why it weighed so less so I took it out of the case only to find that it was a foil not copper at all - how can a seller describe it as copper when the item clearly is not copper at all. And then I had to go through the trouble of dealing with this item that wasn't what I wanted. The lesson make sure to check what you bought when it arrives - it might look pretty in the case that it came in but open it up and make sure that it is what you bought. Is it that hard to describe the item you are trying to sell especially the material it is made from or the quality or condition of the item such that buyers know what it is that they are buying and that they can buy with confidence that what they are purchasing is what they want. What items have you bought that were not as they were described when you bought it?
