The “other site” has nothing to do with this. If he stated it came from a non-smoking environment, or you asked and he said it wasn’t in that environ and it showed up like that, different discussion. Buy the seller, ask every question that is important to you. If there was no actual misrepresentation then you don’t have much of a leg to stand on. It will be interesting to see how PP actually handles this.
That Other Audiophile Website
I purchased a cd player from a seller on that other audiophile website. When I took it out of the box it reeked of cigarette smoke. I contacted the seller and got nowhere. I contacted that other website. I was told it's the buyers responsibility to investigate the seller before making a purchase. I gave the seller a negative review. My review was removed, and I was banned from making further comments about my experience. Almost a month later I'm still trying to get a refund. PayPal is going to try and help me. Talk about unethical. Anyone have a similar experience?
