This is a kind of warning.
I learned this today that if you buy something, the item being called into question here a Tamagotchi, and are in the United States, you can spend a lot of money trying to get a refund from anyone overseas.
Please be careful what you get and where you get it from! I will not say who it was on eBay but this is what happened with me.
In order to get a refund with buyer protection you will have to send the item back first to recieve your money. That is fine. But to insure that the item gets back and that the person actually gets it you need to enter a tracking number. If you do not know the seller how will you knw if they are being honest about if the item was received? A tracking number is a must in this situation.
If you are in the United States and you are trying to send something internationally with a tracking number it can be $38 plus. I know I may sound stupid for not knowing this in the first place but I am sure that there is at least one of you on here that doesn't know this!
There is really nothing else you can do especially if, as in my case, the seller won't work with you.
I am posting it here because I feel that some of you may not be aware that things like this could happen. I know I wasn't and I have been using eBay for a while now. They did issue me $20 of eBay credit but what good will that do me?
The item doesn't work and I lost $20.
A good lesson that others can learn from my experience.
