I sell alot on ebay.
As long as the seller's description is accurate, you are SOL....

You still did well, considering there are lots of scams going on there.
The bos is only worth a couple of bucks.

I have lots of spare boxes if you want one..

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

If you really need a box then use a white bucket and look like a real googan.

No boat, back in the suds.

Can't really argue with the wording

There was a guy selling a picture of his new VS200 for something like $225, The item description (not the tittle) had in bold letters THIS IS A PICTURE OF MY NEW VAN STAAL. The thing is he got a couple of people, 2 or 3 when I checked completed listings who probably saw the title VS200 with "buy it now" $225 and people were hitting the buy it now without reading thinking they found and outstanding deal and didn't want to miss it taking the time to read.

This seller was probably going to include the box but after seeing what the final bid was reconsidered and said screw it I'm not giving them the box, never said I would. No big loss, and it's not worth the hassle, I would use caution with this seller in the future.

I would still give the seller positive feedback, if the transaction went smoothly otherwise. You could go neutral, but is it really worth having your feedback numbers affected negatively? Lesson learned at a very little cost.

No Box

Ebay is a den of thieves. People trying to steal goods at below value , people trying to steal money for below value goods.

Be very careful when you enter it.
