Is it ok to say may not have when it knowingly doesn't. Misleading to buyers is it not?

[veemax55]

Bought a remote that stated it may not have a cover and seller obviously knew it did not. He was not the least concerned when I contacted him and basicly threatened me if I complained. Is this not grounds for a dispute?

and file as Item Not As Described.

The annoying thing is that you will probably have to return the remote to the seller with Confirmed Delivery. This can be expensive and yet will be necessary if the seller decides to be uncooperative.

So you have to decide whether the price is good enough to hold the batteries in with a bit of duct tape.

You have 45 days from purchase to file the dispute.

You have 60 days to leave feedback. The most effective feedback is calm and factual. Remember that your future sellers and possibly buyers will read it and form an opinion on you.

At the same time you will be asked to leave Detailed Seller Ratings. A normal transaction gets Five Stars. The lowest rating is One Star.

But learn from this. At a guess, the seller has a lot of second hand and repaired items and they are being packed by some poor sod in the warehouse. You got one of the dozens he had without the cover. 

It is unusual that an item is better than its description.

Although the seller would probably have been better off listing those with a battery cover and those without one separately...the listing was clear that it was a used item and that the battery cover might not be included.  Did you write the seller before you made the purchase and specifically ask about the battery cover?
