Does DOA mean Dead On Arrival, cause it took me a while to think what it may mean.
You can't name and shame sellers, it's against E-Bay policy.
I don't buy electricals on E-Bay but did it once from an Aussie seller, an electronic weighing scale.
Item was very good price BUT had issues with counter display as some of the lines did not light up on the numbers so a little hard to tell the weight sometimes.
Sent email expressing disappointment, but didn't ask for anything, soon after the item was withdrawn from sale.
Guess they realised their product was generally defective.
My experience as a seller has been, for last few years products coming from the same manufacturers have suddenly dropped in quality, without the retail seller being told about the change. The seller only finds out after customers start complaining.
I accepted I had got a really good price and the item was still usable so I left it at that.
I wonder how much it cost the seller to scrap the rest of their stock as you usually can't return it overseas.
I had to 'wear' the loss on an order of ties that came wrong and no-one wants to buy them!
