E-bay sent wrong machine

black 301
She is not the only one with mixed up machines. However it was not EBAY's fault that I did not get my black 301 that I paid for. It was FED EX. Seller sent pictures and addresses with her dh (he works there) and all they did was put this beautiful HAND CRANK JONES in a box that did not fit the case (wooden with key) not bubble wrapped or anything. Geez, what are they smokin? I took the box to my PO to ship to the person who was supposed to get it and they would not take it the way it was---had writing FED EX all over it. I took home to repkg and sent seller an email last night and this morning got one back that said wait don't ship. 1st it was asap, now wait--she is supposed to get movey back from FED EX. I would love to keep the hand crank. I wonder what was paid for it. never saw it on ebay for sale.

I won a featherweight on e-bay. Seller sent me a Goodhousekeeper machine . Cool but not what I bid on.
I sent it to the person who was supposed to get that one and they were supposed to send me the featherweight.
Sent me a black 301. I really like the 301 but I already have 2 of them. Course I have 2 featherweights too.
Messaged the seller ..No idea what will happen now. been almost an adventure. SSUZZ

Gosh, I've got some bids on eBay right now. DH would go bonkers over a mixup like this. I'd better do some reading to see how to handle these types of things beforehand. Good thing he doesn't read this forum. He is also a vintage addict just doesn't want to pay more than it's worth.

I don't trust e-bay buying anymore. I won a bid on an Elna Air-Electronic SU last Dec. The seller advertised the machine as a perfect operating machine that had been recently serviced. When the machine came it was a mess. It had a broken bobbin winder, it would not sew. I contacted the seller and she told me it was working when she sent it. Well, we know that was not true. She refused to take it back or refund some of my money. I took it to my repair man and he told me it was a mess. It cost me 140 dollars to get it in working order.....Needless to say it was my first e-bay experience and my last......Good luck...I hope they make it right with you.
