About 75% of my collection came from e-bay. After deciding on a machine, I look at the sellers rating and feedback score. You can contact the seller with your concerns before purchasing. A seller that does not list properly and basically tries to scam a person would not get 100% feedback. I also read the feedback scores, in particular the bad/neutral ones to see what occurred and how it was resolved. After a few bad experiences with FedEx on handling my purchases, one time I contacted the seller before shipping and requested that he ship the machine and the bentwood case separately. The additional charges was $12.00 more that way and I mailed him a check for the extra charge. Some times you can correctly pack up a machine, but, rough handling is to be expected and one can only hope for the best. If an item is grossly mislabeled, that seller would not get favorable scores. I seldom do business with a feedback score of less than 99.8%. I have had 2 issues with purchasing and both were resolved promptly to my satisfaction with a full refund from Paypal.
