: This information about Omega repairs was

: On a related matter, does anyone have
: longer-term experience w/ eBay purchases? It
: seems that eBay operates under the same
: model as a lot of the technology review
: sites, ie, "we tried it for 2 weeks,
: here's how it performed." On eBay, I
: think people "evaluate" their
: purchases right after they get them, the
: metrics being did it look like they said,
: was shipping price reasonable, did I get
: paid, was it received quickly. But from what
: I'm reading, watch problems can be hidden
: for several weeks or months. (By the way:
: Does anyone agree w/ that?)

Absolutely. There is no telling when an internal watch part might break. It's like buying anything. You can drive a new car off the lot and a few days later it can end up in the shop.

: Is there any place where I can see how sellers
: on eBay performed or answered issues some
: time after delivering the products?

Not on ebay. Once feedback is left it cannot be changed. It can be "mutually withdrawn" if both buyer and seller agree, but feedback is usually left quickly and, once left, cannot be changed. However, buyer and seller can both leave follow-up comments to feedback left, so if you are interested in something from a given seller you can read through ALL of his feedback comments to see if anyone had problems with his product.
