W9DCS lied about radio's internals

Post by N4ADK »

Almost a month ago I purchased a Kenwood TS-440SAT from W9DCS (likely not the real W9DCS) for $365 that was said to include: all filters, internal tuner, and DOTS fixed. I haven't noticed DOTS yet, but I've just looked inside the radio and there is no internal tuner and there are no filters... I have proof of his word all documented on email and I have pictures of the internals. I paid via PayPal, but this being my first PayPal purchase, I selected "Friends & Family" instead of "Goods or Services" so I cannot dispute the payment...

EDIT: Just got a compatible mic to use and it doesn't even output any power...
