Fraudulent sale on eBay

Yeah, well, I have bought the last fleecebay item. Kenwood KD 500 w/ arm, was wrapped in bubble and then wrapped in cardboard. The word "fragile" does not appear anywhere. I like the KD series, but I wanted this arm it is saveable.  Arrived crushed. When will I learn about fleecebay, apparently I'm a slow learner.  BTW, I topped your bid by a $

I've been on ebay for twenty years (maybe more) as a seller and a buyer. I currently do not sell on ebay (one of my first buys was my SAE 2100L). I do browse, however. Ebay feels the need to compete with Amazon (talk about Chinesium...) and have opened their doors to sketchy sellers, here and abroad. I've seen cartridges for astronomical prices with no cantilever, and visible body cracks. I purchased a turntable on ebay, seller's feed back said "The Best Packaged Turntable I've Ever Seen". So, I took a chance. The Best Package Ever turntable arrived at my house wrapped with bubble wrap, and then wrapped with cardboard. There was no indication that what was being shipped was fragile. It arrived with the arm bent and broken, head shell and cartridge attached (cheap to start with, but worthless now). Yes, I had a couple clues, I asked the seller some  questions, and he either didn't own this one (burgled? Uncle Ned's shed?)), or didn't honestly know anything. Description said "Audio tested", So I'll assume he had a DIN connector, but the head shell wires were soldered and molten solder had fallen on the plastic coated wires and shorted them. People acquire things, and in this economy, think they can turn them on ebay for much needed, or wanted $$$. Etsy is turning into a hungry corporation, think Reverb, and there's not much else out there (do I trust craigslist? facebook?) for equipment and media that I CAN AFFORD. I had two good experiences with USAUDIOMART, and have purchased a few things on Audiogon. I buy a lot of media on Discogs, and have only had one disappointment, so far. In some ways Discogs reminds me of how ebay was back in the day.... Yeah, there's still some good on ebay, if you separate the grain from the chafe, but can't ebay do that for us? Say a young person, or not, decides to get back into audio, or vinyl, and they shop on ebay. Will they know what they're looking at? And if they come to Audiogon for advice, is "If You Don't have at least a 5K budget..." really helpful?    I'm old and frustrated. The world is passing me by, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't going the wrong way.
