Ebay problems.

[SuperMegatron]

I bought a item on ebay it was supposed to be a Z555 but it arrived as a z545. I spent about 300 on this and I am worried that the seller wont refund. I sent him a email a few hours ago and no reply so far. What options do I have? Can I use paypal to fix this?

I think you have to wait 7 or 10 days before you can file a dispute against the seller. Give them a day or so then e-mail again. If they sent you the wrong item Paypal should eventually refund your money if the seller refuses to do anything. Bad thing is the seller can require you to use your own money to ship that item back to them if it gets to the dispute stage.

The guy was a ass deal with. He basically said 300 for a z545 was still a good deal and that he had expected more for the unit. Then he said the only difference between the z545 and the z555 was the digital tuner and the video card. So he offered me $20 back. I got him up to $35 and accepted it. The guy is still under the impression that I got a great deal. I have managed to upgrade the unit. It came with a broken hp media drive that was hung in its port. I removed it and the port. I installed a new sata 250 gig drive, ordered a new power supply, and a media drive cage. I am considering getting a hd tuner for it but I am kind of wondering what the point would be. hd cable is encrypted so the unit wouldn't be able to tape any shows.

Yea unless the auction actually says its not a bootleg I don't buy GBA/GB games on Ebay anymore. They never hold a save properly and are bad to lock up. I have ended up with 2 bootlegs from Ebay in the past, never again.

You can get free HD broadcasts with a digital tuner.

You just need an antenna rig.
