[ForSale-Swap] the other side of various ebay radios ...

ABSOLUTELY typical of eBay's response. As long as they get their fees, they just
don't give a damn. I was cheated AGAIN last week. I complained. Not even a reply
from eBay. Been there, done it, got bitten for $500 one time and $850 another
time.

It stinks,
