Ebay sucks

Specifically Heart Rate Monitors Incorporated.

Bought Look/Polar Power meter pedals from them. Lisiting specifed that anticipated receipt fo the pedals was 2-5 days, and Paypal was required.

I paid immediately through Paypal. Also the Ebay site said that Pay pal transactions cleared immediately. Paypal reflects that my transaction cleared the same day, and hthe funds were withdrawn from my checking account the next day.

A week later I contacted Heart Rate Monitors Inc to see if my pedals had been shipped. They said that Paypal hadn't cleared it would be another week, 3 days fr shipping after that, and I'd have my pedals in about 2 weeks.

They refused to address any of the points, I raised above. Tp their credit they did agree to refund the money, and cancel the transaction.

I'm going to buy the pedals from Competitive Cyclist for a few dollars more, but from people who 1) I trust, 2) will deliver as promsied, and 3) you can talk to.

I guess you get what you pay for.
