OK... Becomming a bit less willing to extend the benefit of the doubt...

Seller has re-listed the remaining tube with pretty much the same 
questionable working... He ignored my suggested changes...

To bad...

The seller used exactly the same photo for all six tubes in another auction 
before. eBay sellers get lazier every year.

My advice:
Ask for more photos! Always. Even for NIB tubes (if the box has already been 
opened).

I'll add to the three lessons I posed in my response above...  Ask your 
questions of the seller before bidding! Make sure there's no ambiguity.

There were enough flags in the listing for me to have been more careful... 
Could the seller have had a better phrasing in their listing? Sure... Could 
I have been a bit more careful? Definitely!

I'm going to stick with "benefit of the doubt".

On with Sunday and Fusion360...

Best regards,
Bob

I just mentioned the listings look shady and they can lead to error (they led 
to, in Bob’s case).

I saw the seller’s ratings and seems to be serious – but these listings are odd 
at best.

I concede it could be a language issue, but there are all the signs for 
ambiguity there, hence the alarm – unfortunately Bob was caught in it, 
fortunately, no harm done.

Glad that nobody got scammed.

I've purchased from this seller before and the transactions have always
been good. It's probably a language issue as he is located in Slovakia...

Hi folks,

*I* made a mistake and bought what I thought was a 6 tube clock from this 
seller at around 4:30 am this morning... and requested that seller cancel 
my purchase a few minutes later when I realized *MY* mistake... Auction was 
for one tube only...

Note that this was a different auction, but from the same seller...

Seller *promptly *cancelled the transaction, *my* mistake rectified, *all* 
funds 
restored... I have no problem or complaint with how the seller responded to 
*my* error. I'd leave strong positive feedback if I had the option.

Lessons on my side... not all new...

1) If it seems too good to be true...
2) Read carefully and wait at least 20 minutes before bidding between the 
hours of 23:00 and 06:00...
3) A non-English speaking seller or possible language issues? Maybe wait 30 
minutes...

My thanks to the seller for his understanding and for the prompt 
cancellation. My apologies to the seller for costing him time and 
(hopefully not too much) aggravation!

Best regards,
Bob
