Yes I was.  In my case it wasn't photo equipment, but an espresso 
machine.  Item was shipped to the wrong address, and arrived with the 
portofilter not working.  Seller claimed that "w/guarantee" meant 
just "not doa" -- e.g. that the unit would turn on and a light would 
go on.  He offered a refund if I returned it, but not for shipping 
both ways.  That cost would have been more than the amount of my 
claim, and I'd be returning a unit on which I'd spent several hours 
finally getting it to work.

Before the purchase I had correspondence with the seller in which he 
made sweeping claims for his "guarantee".

Most sellers I've dealt with on eBay have real integrity.  (Perhaps 
that's because I'm careful when I buy.)  When I find somebody who 
lacks integrity, I feel that they should be "outed" before they 
seduce more unsuspecting buyers.
