sorry that happened to you, but when shopping on eBay, you should KNOW to look at that sellers reviews and you evaluate how good it is. anything about 90 percent to me is considered good, yet i still am anal about it being higher. i like anything from 98 % positive feedback. this is what u do. ill provide an example =) >> search for your item click on one that interests you, and this will show up (im using an xpole seller just for example) >> http://cgi.ebay.com/X-pole-Dance-Xpole-Pole-45mm-Free-Bottle-of-Mighty-Grip_W0QQitemZ260308474932QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item260308474932&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

after that, look at the right side of the page, it shows
