Thinking of Buying a Book from Belinda's Shack? DON'T! : eBay Guides

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT is the ideal descriptor for Belinda's Shack.  The woman appears to fancy herself as a Queen of e-Bay, espousing how the system works, the need for shipping charges, even posting a touching story of a personal tragedy that borders on a sales gimmick.

Do your homework when working with an e-Bay seller.  Simply put, there are those who would scam you for your money in a heartbeat.  Those like Belinda's Shack, for example.  She advertised a MINT copy of a book which was paid through PayPal in good faith.  What was received was a VERY used book, NOT mint, stuffed into a USPS mailing envelope with no packing whatsoever and REEKING of cigarette smoke.

The monetary loss is no longer worth pursuing.  The book will be donated to the local public library, and smart e-Bayer's will move on past Belinda's Shack.  Save yourself from repeating my mistakes.  AVOID BELINDA'S SHACK!
