As ebay seems to play a big part on forums, I thought I would mention this one.
I purchased a feature film a few years ago from this seller. The film was advertised as low fade but acceptable, with very little in the way of why it was only listed as acceptable other than a splice or tow and a few lines.
I won the auction, it was a fair price, if memory serves me well i think it ended at 185 euros.
What wasn't mentioned in the description was that there was a few jump splices, (one with a full minute missing) and two other complete sections missing with a total amount of film missing amounting to 5 minutes and a few seconds.
Here is the point, I very politely emailed this seller to see what my options were for the reason of "some film is missing and it was not as described which, with footage missing, it wasn't. His reply was also polite, but abrupt and stated that the film was acceptable and was listed as such, without me asking for a refund or anything HE, offered a partial refund of 25 euros which I said was fair enough and accepted. I gave him good feedback and did not mention the problem, what did this seller then do? Put a ban on me buying which seems to say something about this guy, in a nutshell, the truth hurts. If I could turn back time I would have given the negative feedback he should have got, but thats my fault.
I'm sure many have had no problems judging by the feedback, (which includes mine) but I cant be the only one to have had this happen to.
The seller hasn't even got the balls to answer me when I asked why I am unable to bid on his films. Pretty childish.
Be forewarned, the screenshots of the film I bought also looked first class, in an hour and half movie it's easy to pick out only the good stuff.
