Yardsellr.com Yardsellr..Vague advertising led to incorrest order! Internet

Several weeks ago I ordered a Star Wars Blockade Runner from

the web-site Yardsellr.com. First of all, I had to contact the seller a week

after I placed the order to remind him to ship it. He claimed the site is not

set up as it should be and that's the reason he didn't "even know it had

been sold". Second of all, the item I received was not what I was looking

for. I wanted a plastic model kit (one that must be assembled), not a

pre-assembled toy. I have contacted the seller and Yardsellr to say that

although I did not feel the site or

the seller was being dishonest, that the ad was sufficiently vague as

to cause me to make a costly error in ordering the item. Although Yardsellr agreed that the ad was vague, the

response was not satisfactory. Yardsellr basically said (twice), the

misunderstanding was my fault as the seller, at the end of his ad stated  that if I had any questions, please feel free

to ask.  The ad, as he placed it, is as

follows "This sale is for a Star Wars Blockade Runner, my favorite of all

the ships in the Star Wars Universe. Really hate selling this one.  It is unopened and a great piece for anyone.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask". From the ad and the

postage size picture of the item I was certain that the

item was a plastic model kit and therefore did

not ask the seller other questions as Yardsellr is stating I should have.

Basically I am not doing this to be difficult or to receive some kind of refund.

I am doing this to get some kind of statement from Yardsellr that in the

future, sellers are required to be more clear of what they are selling,

specifically if an item is a "collectable" and therefore not to be

considered as anything else. I do not feel that just stating in the ad that if

you have any questions, please ask, is some kind of “legal band-aid” that

should absolve the seller or company of any wrongdoing. Everyone who saw the ad

told me that they could assume that the ad was for a model kit, not some toy or

"collectable" as they call it. I think the site assumes that

potential buyers "know" that they are selling

"collectables" and not anything else. I believe they should make their

ads more clear as to what exactly they are selling. “Caveat Emptor”… Buyer

beware at Yardsellr!!!
