Received my 2 NOS RCA 5751 tubes via CaTubes (an eBay Power Seller).

The tubes weren’t for me and had more of a tele tone than I wanted. Now here is the rub. I contacted CaTubes and let him know I was not 100% happy with the tubes and showed him that I re-listed them on eBay. I used the photo he used figuring ‘what use could he have for a photo of tubes that he had just sold to me? Right?’.

I guess that either out of hurt feelings that I didn’t like his tubes or I was selling the tubes I bought from him at no reserve, CaTubes reported me to eBay for using the photo he took of the tubes for his listing. eBay promptly took my listing down and I lost my listing fee! I didn’t even get a return email from him that said ’sorry you didn’t dig the tubes’ or anything of that sort. Just a report to eBay that I used his picture.

So in summary, I lost my listing fees due to the fact that CaTubes didn’t have the common courtesy to simply email me and request I take my own photo.

It is my estimation that the person at CaTubes that reported me is a vindictive, petty, anally retentive, small little man that has very little to do with this time.

Do yourself a favor and don’t do business with CaTubes!
