I Want my camera!

I just have to vent a little. Our camera hasn't been working very well for a long time and completely crapped out on us about a month ago and haven't been able to take any pictures... No Halloween pictures, Thanksgiving, my belly getting bigger, or cute moments captured. Finally fed up with it we decided to start looking. Well about two weeks ago we really started to look and make a decision. We found our camera on ebay and got really excited! Got an AMAZING deal and thought we'd have a camera for Thanksgiving. We made the payment immediately upon winning and we were both eagerly awaiting the arrival of our new camera. Then came the email...grrrrr! "Sorry to inform you but as we were getting ready to ship this we realized the items were damaged. We will refund your money or put it towards something else from our ebay store." We don't want something else! We want our camera, the one you said you had for sale! And we want it for the price we paid! And we also noticed it had been sent via undisclosed recipients. So we aren't the only ones that got all excited about a camera, only to find out that what they had in stock was damaged. Maybe they should have checked what they had in stock before they auctioned them to make sure they were going to be able to give us what they said they would. They said when they had more in and listed them, we can then buy it. But they don't know when that might be. Hopefully we will have a camera by Christmas! And we better see our money back in our account by tomorrow or I am gonna get ticked! Overall, I love ebay and have had good experiences and will continue to use ebay. But I am very frustrated with the fact that this seller listed and sold a lot of these cameras before checking the stock to make sure they had undamaged goods to sell. And we got so excited only to be left once again with no camera to take pictures with. At least we'll be with family at Thanksgiving that takes a lot of pictures. So we will get some pictures emailed to us I'm sure.
