Advice needed bad purchase

[Hickory n steel]

1 is wrong. PayPal actually leans towards the buyer most of the time, as most people could tell you. I've had thousands of transactions through PayPal and zero issues.

2 is completely wrong. Majority of Ebay sellers are honest and you will never get scammed if you know how to read even the slightest bit. This is just a unique situation.

I fall into the "send it to buck" category.

This has been my experience over the past year of buying from eBay, but then again I'm not buying any expensive or collectable.
From knives to tools to airguns I'm just looking for a deal on some good users not valuable collectables, I believe my largest purchase to date was only about $75 so I'm probably not likely to get scammed on anything though.

And for some people like me for example with little time and limited places to hunt for things the Bay can be the best options, I don't use it for everything and won't do the Bay for brand new knives for sure.

On the handle
I have had issues with damage from Cold and low pressure in high flying jets
It’s due to different expansion rates and amount of glue ‘ bite’ and stress in the material or old ivory
Even had a handle crack once on its way back from buck

And even more likely on a flight to England.
