Project 1972, I have no reason do doubt your word about the $1000 EA. But I'm a little surprised that you didn't take this up with the eBay authorities. If you had the slightest shred of evidence to prove this - eBay would have fulfilled their obligation to not only get your money back to you, but also take action appropriate against the seller.
And let me help you with your conclusion that "I can't say the seller is dishonest..."
Of course you can! Just because they bribed you to lie about their product doesn't get them off the hook. All that did was get you on the hook with them.
It kinda goes back to that CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY thing I was talking about earlier.

Brent Mack, when you are down x amount of money, you accept an "acceptable" condition in order to get you money back instead of spend weeks or months fighting, what other thing you can do,
did you think that ebay or paypal will help you when the seller have 5 times more positive feedback than you ? and apparently not complaint form others buyers ?
It's more productive to end the case as best as possible and spend the time and money on another productive activity
If you made a wrong trade I hope you don't argue with the market, you will try to exit as better as you can, correct ?
In this particular case I left only a "Correct Transaction" feedback to the seller without mention the product quality in order to get my money back.
I know that isn't correct, I know what's is correct, or I think that I know, but I don't have the power to change the world, and if I would have, probably my solution will not be the most correct and I would be a dictator.
Thankfully, today ebay customers can rate Seller in an anonymous way, with the stars, this will help to give a better rating to the scammers, without receive their retaliatory feedback or actions.
Of course, I didn't bought anything about trading from ebay from over a year ago. Today is only full of junk.
In the TSD case I don't know what it would do, If I were the forum manager probably I would close the entire commercial section, only to get rid of the pain of manage it. but I left to ND and the forum owner to take any decision they think is correct, as a forum user I will support and agree to any decision they take.
Today I watch silently and I try to not argue with anyone even if they are dishonest. In the end buyers should use common sense before buy something.
