Yeah, I have bought some stuff off of ebay too. Mostly manuals and replacement parts. I got stung one time, by a fellow Texan! I think his user name was Texas Windmill, or something like that. Anyway, he advertised some baler parts, I bought them. Then he never responded to the sale. After going through all the channels, I file with Paypal for a refund. They gave him time to respond, which he didn't. Paypal removed what money he was holding his account, which was about half of my bid, and gave it to me. Then, the parts show up! BUT, they were not as advertised, as they were for a wire twister baler and not a standard knotter. This began a long series of letters between us, with a lot of finger pointing. We agreed that I would ship the parts back to him, as soon as he sent me payment for the s/h. I never got it. In the end, ebay pulled his membership, I was stuck with 2 parts for a wire twister, that I can't use, and I am still out about $26. The other guy is out of the parts, but he got $26 for them. Only bad experience I have had on ebay.
