Sellam, you have to choose your sellers carefully.  Last week, I bought an
Overland Data 9 track drive.  It arrived with the tape door plastic broken.
 I wrote the seller and was issued an IMMEDATE (and I do mean just that--it
was about 3 minutes after my email) refund of the item+shipping =
everything that I paid.  Seller apologized for the problem and told me to
keep the drive.  I'll repair the door and the drive will have cost me
nothing.

I don't buy from sellers wtih negative feedback.  There's a neat tool for
Firefox that lets you see negative feedback for any seller with just a
mouse click.

Cheers,
Chuck
