Now this is kinda sneaky because once he agrees to the return he is toast

How do his other auctions look? I always consider that when buying a used anything.

Right now - tonight- I am looking at an expensive MB part (new even) but the guy can't come up with good part number info. So I emailed him.

He doesn't have a bad rep but this listing and another similar have been up since 2014. He just ain't bright enough to give away what he has it seems.

Who pays Tom's shipping fees?
The poor dumb guy gets the crank back and it costs Tom to get his money back.
Nope, use the Ebay insurance/Paypal insurance.. Get it returned and have the buyer pay for the return.

I did this with a 250.00 battery-powered impact wrench and the guy prepaid the shipping.
