Paranoid about Parts?

I�ve sure had some bad experiences lately
with buying parts off the internet for restoring
tractors, be it YT for sale ads, replies to my YT
wanted ads or eBay. I get parts that aren�t
even the right part number, parts that are not
as described, parts with flaws not mentioned.
When this happens shouldn�t the seller refund
your money as well as stand the cost of
shipping - both ways? For example, I recently placed a wanted ad for
a swinging drawbar for a C/Super C. A guy
responded that he had one. To make sure I
was getting what I wanted I even sent him a
description, the weight, and the part number,
351 228 R11, along with money to cover the
agreed price and shipping it. When it arrived it
was the swinging drawbar for a Super C with
Fast Hitch, 359 580 R11, and weighed about
twice what the right one would have so he
says I owe him additional for shipping. Now
he won�t even confirm how much I will be
reimbursed if I send it back, but did offer to
reimburse me half the cost of shipping it back
once he received it. I hate to pour good money
after bad. (Anybody want to buy a NOS but
rusty swinging drawbar for a Super C with
Fast HItch?) Then on eBay, if I give a guy a
negative red mark feedback, he simply
retaliates with a red mark for my record.
There's no winning there! Sort of like a pissin'
contest with a skunk. What�s your experience here? Am I getting
old, grouchy and paranoid? I�m beginning to
think I won�t buy anything sight unseen again.
Sure wish there were more swap meets!
