$36 printer from ITOverstock.com costed me $80 total, and
STILL NO WORKING PRINTER

This is the first and hopefully the last time I will ever have to leave bad feedback for any seller on eBay.

2nd Broken Printer Pics | Official & Final eBay Message | Printer as originally displayed on eBay

Short Explanation
Charlie Hawkins at ITOverstock.com said he would refund my money for the first non-functioning printer he sent, but apparently he decided (without telling me) that he would send another printer. I paid out-of-pocket to return the first broken printer which showed as delivered to their Bridgeport, CT address. ITOverstock.com then shipped another broken printer which arrived visibly broken in two places on the exterior casing of the printer. The second printer also had a broken piece of plastic that rattles inside the printer and... oh yeah... did I mention it won't print. I contacted ITOverstock.com by leaving three voice mails and 4 emails about the second printer and they never contacted me again by phone or email. By the way, the phone number listed on their website always goes to voice mail no matter what time of day or night you call. They probably hoped I'd go away, but I don't respond happily when someone steals my money then never responds.

I did contact UPS about the 2nd broken printer in case it was broken in transit. The UPS rep on the phone told me most packages that are broken during transit via UPS will show signs of damage on the outside of the box whether it be a rip or dent in the box. The box the 2nd printer was shipped in showed no signs of dents, rips or damage of any kind, but the printer was lazily packed with very little bubble wrap.

Feel free to contact me with questions about the negative feedback I left for ITOverstock.com.

PS - If you notice the contact by date on the final message I left with ITOverstock.com, I gave them an extra week and a half to contact me before I left negative feedback on eBay. This time stamp shows ample time for them to correct their mistake. Their negative feedback left recently by other ebayers shows I'm not the first person to be screwed.
