Delivered a Wrong Item and Now there is no refund . Review on Ebay

Ordered a dumbbell set, which promised to deliver 8 plates and two rods with grip. What I got as an disappointment when is 4 short of plates and just plain cheap iron rods. When contacted eBay they suggested to contact Seller first and then only they will take some action.

I mean, why, why should I run after the seller if he is delivering cheap and wrong item. Anyhow I followed up with the seller and he was responding abruptly as if he is playing with me and no intention of solving the issue.

Finally when I contacted back, eBay told me the date for refund has been exceeded and there would be no refund. Seriously? If this is not cheating then what is it! Looks like eBay has partnered with some cheap vendors and take commissions on selling outdated and cheap products to  online customers.

So bottom line, don't buy, mostly you will be disappointed and will be cheated in return for your money , time and energy.
