Wedding Camera rip off on ebay and Internet Website Brooklyn New York

I had purchased 12 Disposable Wedding Cameras from ebay on October 18th.

Everything went smooth with the transaction. I wanted to purchase these cameras in advance because I know there were more expenses coming up later once we got closer to our Wedding day. Our Wedding was May 30th. When I was ready to bring the Cameras in for development I noticed that one camera had the outside packaging missing and was damaged.

I first thought that one of our Guests had left the disposable camera there, but then I noticed that this camera looked like it could have had the Wedding packaging around it. I opened one that still had the packaging around it and I saw that it looked the same way once I opened it. I opened all of them and they looked the same!

Description of the camera's:
After the wedding packaging was removed, it was evident that the cameras were tampered with. The front right corner was sawed off (cut off), in the back where the film goes there is black tape over the opening and the film was not a Kodak film but a Konica film. The Description on the Auction very clearly said Kodak 27 exposures, but these say 24.

I was very upset, because we had placed cameras on each table and people were taken pictures. I have to say that I was emotionally disturbed by it! I have not gotten the films developed. I immediately went to ebay and looked up the seller's feedback and noticed that he had pulled this before. He had several people complaining about his cameras and how fraudulent it was for misrepresenting the product. I did look at his feedback in October of but did not notice any of these negative feedback.

I did file a dispute with Square Trade on June 3rd and reported this person to the IFCC on June 7th, but as of today they were not able to get any answer back from the seller. He also has a website: www.thesavingsmall.com that he advertises on ebay and I found out through WhoIs under what name the website is registered. The person also changed his ebay name several times, because of obvious reasons. Here are the following names that he had used on e-bay:
User ID Effective End Date
Savings_mall sep-25-03 Present
hotdeals_4u2 dec-19-02 sep-25-03
davidgraphics may-21-01 dec-19-02
Unfortunately I can not see what the feedback was for the other two names, but gather that all feedback is collected under the last used name.
Consumer be aware of this company or person. Brides... Don't get ripped off.
