I've heard that some people have had that experience buying things through ebay as well. I've never had it happen to me, but I've heard some 'vendors' either are dishonest and don't ship the product or it isn't as advertized. In the end it comes down to Caveat emptor "let the buyer beware" whenever you buy something online I think. I've never had a problem but when you can't see the physical product directly you always take a chance however small. Of course there are those who are just plain foolish too. Buying a Kindle (offered at ebay) at lower than the asking price set by Amazon is a case in point.
