They emailed back saying that they had "just mailed the new pair yesterday" but in reality they didn't ship until after I demanded the refund!

When the "new" pedals arrived, they were the original damaged ones I had sent back. I contacted them asking WTF they were trying to pull and they then said they wouldn't take back "used" merchandise (I never used the pedals as I couldn't mount them) and I would have to keep them despite there ads offering refunds or exchanges. I had to go through eBay Customer Protection and eBay issued me a refund.

Planet Cyclery is absolutely the WORST seller I have ever dealt with and I wouldn't take anything from them if they were giving it away!
I have a Bike shop and do some selling on ebay. Unfortunately I have heard a few stories about planet cyclery like this. Sometimes the cheapest isn't the best answer.
