After many good experiences with private sellers on Ebay, I bought a chair from "Net Clearances", an Ebay store, recently. I bought it some time before giving birth, and hoped to have it in time to use with my new baby. While there were many, many chairs listed by NetClearances, it seemed that in the descriptions you could see what, if anything, was wrong with the chair. I assumed this was why NetClearances' buying instructions included the "buyer beware" clause.
I scoured all the descriptions until I found a chair that was advertised in "as new" condition, supposedly a store sample. After paying the ridiculously expensive shipping fee, I waited a few MONTHS before I received the box with my chair in it.
The box looked like the Canada Post man had engaged in a
kung-fu match with it. Having given birth a few days earlier, I was too exhausted to open it and asked my husband to do so. He opened it and found a few broken pieces of wood that in theory could have been a chair. There wasn't even padding. I then realized why the NetClearances' return policy demands that you pay the cost of shipping the item back if you are not satisfied. They just make money off the shipping.
Yes, I could've gone to Square Deal and resolved it with Ebay and the idiots and thieves at NetClearances. HOWEVER, you only have a limited amount of time to do so. Weak, exhausted, and caring for a two-week old infant, I simply told my husband to throw it in the shed.
I pray every night that Lazslo Parkovits and the rest of the NetClearances' goons soon die from the brain cancer that they so richly deserve.
