I wish I had read this email a week ago. I bought a XA
on eBay. It is a disaster. Instead of "almost like
new" it is "ugly" and does not work. Seller is
refusing to take it back.

Here is the lesson learned(kinda obvious now but let
me share it) buy a kind of mechandise like cameras
from sellers who have good ratings and deal mostly, if
not exclusively, in that type of item. Second, always
ask what the return policy is. I didn't in this case.
(Dumb :{  ) Looking at the stuff the person who sold
me the camera it is apparent they don't know squat
about cameras. It looks shiny and has a box so it is
like new!
