Philco 38-17F Variant - another undocumented set
#34

I recently had to get eBay involved in the purchase of a Canadian Philco 39-3B4 from a US seller. Two and a half weeks went by...the seller sent me a note claiming it had been sent to the wrong address and returned to him. I told him to send it on to me, and gave him my correct address. Which I thought to be odd, because eBay and PayPal both have my correct address on file. Ten days later, still no radio, I wrote the seller asking where my radio was. No reply. I filed an eBay Buyer Protection claim, and received my refund from eBay yesterday. You never know with these zero feedback sellers...some are OK, some aren't. It's a gamble. At least the buyer has some recourse. It is too bad Glenn was denied both a radio and any help from eBay. Although he did get his money back, a seller who should have been NARU'd was allowed to remain an eBay member in good standing.
