Subject: [CR]Beware this eBay seller

It is extremely rare for me to have a significant problem with an eBay seller, as most issues on eBay seem to be simple misunderstandings that are easily resolved, but it happened recently with a fellow in Austria. He sold me some Super Record pedals that he said were NOS, but turned out to be used. It was a big hassle to return them, and I am now out about $30 in round-trip shipping (which he said he would reimburse me for, but then didn't - lie #2).

His eBay ID is "trentino61" but now I have discovered that he has at least three eBay IDs (which is never a good sign, and I wouldn't have bid on the item had I known that fact at the time...).

The other two IDs that I am now aware of are "bicicletta04" and "drogist99" - I recommend major caution when considering a purchase from this individual.
