"anyone taking the BIN and paying through ebay would have received the same outcome"

No, a BIN is protected and can be returned for a refund if it's not as described. I think you already know this. How did the seller contact you? If there's a record of the conversation, you can complain to eBay. That might not produce a refund, but selling off-site might get him banned. Did you file negative feedback?

The "same outcome" in the sense of getting a tube which in reality was not at all as the listing described it as far as testing results reported.So there's really nothing to analyze or go back and forth about with this situation anymore. Clearly the seller knew it was a dog of a tube which is why he offered me a better deal direct to "save himself on fees" Like I said I take full responsibility for losing my money because I knew better than to give up my buyer protections and knew the risks. Unfortunately for me I lost in this situation but the message here in all this is this seller is a bonafide liar and when confronted with the real testing of the tube suddenly the seller claimed his phone wasn't working and couldn't communicate which he absolutely did fine 2 days earlier and he immediately started shucking and jiving. Thats when I knew it was all intentional from the start and not an honest mistake on the seller's part as I always give people the benefit of the doubt to make things right. On the second day of trying to chase him down about this suddenly he was able to text again only to claim he was on vacation suddenly and unavailable. So it became laughable quickly and the guy is just a scammer looking to do people dirty. Best i can do is put the word out and make it harder for him to get over on the next guy hopefully.

  Well, don't think you're the only one. I was taken for the cost of a group of 211 tubes in the early days. It was before eBay had their current policy protecting buyers, and in fact, PayPal told me at one time back then that they always represent the financial interest of the seller. I still have that e-mail somewhere. Anyway, the seller in my case did the same dodge and weave after I complained, and I lost hundreds of dollars on the defective tubes. I learned a lesson from that and haven't been bitten since. Sorry this happened to you, hope you get the tubes you need.
