I'm getting fed up with cowboy sellers on Ebay and Amazon. I don't even buy much off these sites but when I do, a lot of time the items are either poor quality or the sellers try and shaft you.

Bought an item of clothing off Ebay and to be fair it was a decent purchase so I ordered the same item but of a different colour. The quality was nowhere near the previous item and the zip broke after a week.

Bought five energy saving "long-life" R50 bulbs off Amazon. One didn't work and came in tampered packaging and one lasted about a week. Sent the seller an email to explain this and received an email a few days later saying they'll respond in 24 hours.

They never did so I left them negative feedback a few days later.

An email rapidly reached my inbox with a promise of replacements bulbs and a request to remove the feedback. The bulbs arrived the next day. As for the negative feedback I sent - well, that remained.

Serves them right for trying to rip me off.
