Bad UK seller on ebay photo-kit

[ludoo]

I bought a Tamron SP 48-80mm from photo-kit on ebay. The lens was described as exc, in perfect mechanical and optical condition and with only a few very small coating marks.

What I received is a lens with a non-working lock on the adaptall 2 mount (the tiny pin that snaps open when you mount an adaptall adapter), and a huge patch of deep scratches on the front lens.

The seller refuses a partial refund ( I would have kept the lens for spares), they only told me in a very impolite way to ship back the lens. I opened a paypal claim, and now I have to pay out of my own pocket for registered shipping to the UK. I lost one month, other good auctions, and about 15 euros.

I will avoid them at all costs in the future, you might want to do the same.

Sorry about your troubles and thanks for the info!!

We need to be aware of these sellers!!

Google pick it up them successfully based on title I guess.

Mmmh, I would say that 17 neutral and 11 negativ feedbacks are too much for a professional seller within one year - it is approx. 3 %

We actually have quite a few bad names in this section of the forum. Maybe someone could assemble a list (with thread references)?
