Ebay Ripoff

By Suzanne O'Connor

I hate getting taken. Hate it even more when I fall for the “super low price” without questioning why it’s priced so low. There is always a reason for it. I know better and fell for it anyway.

This last month we’ve been looking for a cat mansion/ cat tree/ scratching post for our new kitten. I really was stunned at the pricing. A three tired carpet cover one can run you upwards of $120-$180. Yikes. It is after all just a cat scratching post/ tree made of carpet, twine and wood. 

So when I found one on Ebay for $44. I bought it.

Yep, you guessed it, it’s absolute crap-olla!  I ended up with a three tiered furry fabric (not carpet) covered particle board/ cardboard cat tree. The cubby hole for cats to climb into is too small for my 6 month kitten, much less a full gown cat. It’s wobbly and badly made. The top tier wont even screw in to the bottom like it’s suppose to. It’s absolute junk!

So I emailed my serious displeasure and they offered me a $20 credit. As if I would buy anything else from these sellers again.
Guess I’ll have to leave negative feedback for the seller.

Live and learn….again
