... Someone said his grandkids do his ebay auctions and I suspect that is who I was dealing with rather than Joe. After much confusion and seemingly endless mis-communications I got a $5 Playboy note and was credited the difference, it was shipped quickly, and carges were fair. I have no problems other than the bizzare communications.
For me all's well that ends well... I'm happy.
Communications reminded me of the "Who's on First" routine!
Sorry your transaction did not go well...
