What was the seller's rating? Often the comments on less than 99-100% A+ ratings can help you before purchase.

You are supposed to have notified Ebay, they frown on misrepresentation on their site. It is bad for their reputation.

I made a copy of the original listing which I cannot find at the moment. But I went to My eBay and retrieved the following link:

If you scroll down you will see that the seller describes the offering as "new" and what is included.

I wanted to check with the UHH community to make sure there was a misrepresentation before I do anything drastic. I do believe that it would be prudent to contact the seller first.

It looks like you were taken advantage of.

A 90% rating is suspect to me. I would return it as you don"t know if the camera is electronically damaged. They don't appear honest to me.

After reading the listing, I don’t think there is any question that you got ripped off.

Believe me, it wouldn't be the first time.

90% rating is well below my threshold on EBay

Only 16* ratings, and 1 negative = 90.9% And that complaint was the same as the OP here but on a different camera.
Giving the seller the benefit of the doubt I would say that the seller needs to learn to use "Like New" or some other high rating instead of "New".
*only 16 feed backs, a novice by Ebay standards.

All of that is true and that should have been a clear signal for me to stay away. I did not notice that the same complaint was lodged by another buyer for the same reasons as mine. Thanks for pointing that out.

I agree with all of the above comments. NIB is new in box, period. Take it up with the seller. If not satisfied, return item for full refund, leave a review stating your issues with seller. Next time get clarification of conditition items BEFORE purchasing. Just saying. Good luck.

When selling items such as this I used the term NRB (never removed from box) if it was new. NIB would indicate everything there but may ha tried it and all pristine. All you did was buy a used camera. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Return or demand discount or report him/her.

I'd say the ebay post was a misrepresentation. You'd have to decide if you thought in 2020 you'd get a "new" camera from 2013? BTW: spending $200 for a 7-year old 12MP camera seems too much by at least $100.
