So I ordered one of those Bootleg CPS1 Multi's off ebay a few weeks ago and got it in the mail a few days ago. I guess something in happened in shipping were the little logic board on top got smushed and bent the pins. Board works but you have to press down on the logic board for it to work.
I was willing to smack a zip tie over it and just get a nice partial refund from the seller since the pcb is working properly but he gave me a weak partial refund so we both agreed I should ship it back.
So he sent me some cheapo label that is off by 2 pounds and doesn't have proper tracking. One of those UC tracking numbers. I questioned the weight and he told me that the post office people will see the correct weight on there system. I called bullshit on that. I've been buying and selling for a long time and using the post office to ship things for over 20 years and I never heard of such a thing. They go by the current label that is printed.
So what I'm thinking this guy is trying to do is use a cheapo label that can't be tracked, eventually get his item back and claim that he never got it so he doesn't have to give me a refund. I only get my refund 5 days after tracking says it's delivered.
I emailed ebay and asked them to step in on this. I don't trust this dude. Rather keep a board that works with a small work around then lose my money and the board.
What do you guys think? Am I being overly paranoid or is this guy trying to pull a fast one.
I posted this in the boot section because well, it's a boot.
