Happy Ending.
Thought I would update the situation to report that I have received a full refund, to include shipping. The Seller probably sent me 20 emails along the way, keeping me updated with ebay & paypal issues, which were tied up with a massive HSBC payment systems outage (reported in the Financial Times, btw, so I could follow along!).
Stan, a little bit of trivia for you - French was the international language of diplomacy (before Microsoft & Windows replaced it with English), and DE is the French word for "from". The other one I find interesting is the radio communications spoken standard for help, which all of the GIs in WWII learned as "Mayday", a bastardization of the French "m'aidez", or "help me". Lesson over <grin>
I should have checked his name. That guy does sell a lot of razors and his descriptions always seem to be fairly accurate.
But I still think it was an honest mistake. Pretty much he copies what he sees on Achim's site, and I believe the "DR" was no exception. Some of the descriptions even mention the site.
Maybe I'm just too credulous ...
Agree.
BTW This is the guy I bought my Hybrid Tech from and a NEW (like in Jewelry set). Always smooth transactions and excellent communication.
Dan, got the dosh?
Yep, Juan Manuel, and now I have this damn balance in my PP account that is burning a hole in my electronic pocket - do you know where a guy can find some nice razors to buy? [emoji38]
I believe you're quite correct, Roopesh, and for those who aren't, I've had great luck with eBay's guarantees.Interesting thread. Dan, I am glad that the seller was gracious and it worked well. Based on my experience, I feel there are many many more sincere sellers than insincere ones on eBay.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the eBay Bucks in my account - heck, I could probably buy a real DR for nothing' now!

Yup. I bet one can find plenty of nice razors there.Mmmm... let me think.... Walmart???

I do not go often there but when I do I make sure I wave at the display so they can run out of batteries soon. Buggers they are, aren't they?!
Juan, I had the same thought pass as a place for razors, but was not sure if there were any "nice" ones as Dan had asked for.Mmmm... let me think.... Walmart???
I have had very pleasant dealings with everybody who I have bought a razor from on eBay, without exception. The childish, ignorant ebay support staff, on the other hand, are a different kettle of fish altogether.
