Advertising on pricegrabber as amazon marketplace seller; Bliss Computers advertised they had "notebooks" for sale on amazon.com in September of 2010.
The sale link went to amazon.com where the laptop ad was replicated. When item was shipped, it was a replacement LCD. Company will refund %80 of sales price but none of shipping either way. Customer is out 20% of payments for restocking fee and all shipping charges (40% of payments). Bliss Computers (East Coast LCD) and AMAZON.COM acknowledged this happened to at least 3 people in September before PriceGrabber and Amazon.com removed the ads. PriceGrabber did not respond to email inquiries.
Below is the ad that ran on Pricegrabber and Amazon.com Marketplace: (notice no mention of replacement LCD screen)
