You just registered on ebay within the last month, this was your FIRST bid ever, there was one hour and 16 minutes left until the end of the auction, and you didn't think you maybe should at least glance at the buyer help pages - or even read the full description of the listing for full details of what accessories would or would not be included- BEFORE placing your bid?
Sometimes I think eBay needs to put a huge sign on the top of every page in bright lights flashing, "THIS IS NOT WALMART" to avoid this.
But most people probably wouldn't "see" it anyway.
I'm sorry for the rant but I'm so tired of buyers who don't/can't/won't read anything before they start bidding.

I don't think people realize that when they buy something on eBay, they're not buying FROM eBay. They're buying (usually) from an individual or a small home-based business.
When they make a purchase, eBay charges those sellers a fee that is not refunded even if the buyer changes his/her mind or otherwise refuses to pay. (At least that was the case the last time I sold something on eBay - must be eight or nine years ago, now.)
I feel for eBay sellers, these days - everything is slanted so hard toward the buyer while the seller has very little protection.
