- g***t (180)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller is an absolute nightmare. Seller is a crook. Seller did not send the item. Seller left me a back feedback comment disguised as positive feedback in order to circumvent ebay rules. I waited weeks before I even complained to Ebay. Would you wait over a month for a book to be shipped? Doubtful. Better late than never, except this time its never. Seller is likely a drop shipper. Avoid! Thank me later.
