Why I avoid eBay

Last week I bought a few bits through eBay. 5 items bought and here’s the lowedown.
- A hot shoe cover (£2.50)
- A replacement battery cover for a Nikon D7000 (£5)
- An Eye-Fi 4GB WiFi SD card (£50)
- BM-11 Screen Cover for Nikon D7000 (£5)
- LF-4 Nikon lens rear cap (£7)
Not used eBay in a while as I don’t trust the authenticity, quality or care in dispatch… Turns out I was right.
- I was delivered an empty envelope!!
- Battery cover (to replace an existing cracked cover) arrived cracked.
- A piece of cardboard in the shape of an SD card was delivered!
- The screen cover was delivered severely scratched.
- Arrived in good condition.
It’s worth noting that all sellers have agreed to post out replacement items at their expense but it’s just ridiculous that 80% of my order was screwed up. Seriously, why send me an empty envelope?!?
I miss Jessops 😥
