Metz Manta Marine VHF Antenna w/optional Bow Rail Mount

Seller did not ship with the bow rail mount and is now disputing his
auction. He states the mount is optional even though this is the wording
on his auction. He is willing to refund amount of antenna but not
shipping and I have to pay for shipping back to him.

Metz Manta-6 Marine Antenna with optional Bow Rail Mount

Go though the Ebay dispute process (not the Paypal one). It takes
time, but can work in the end.

If the add is still in Ebay, the one you purchased, make sure to print
out a hard copy (or even better, use something like "Auto PDF995" and
'print' a .pdf file of it).

Mistakes do happen, it is ones character that shows when they do...

Good luck!

It's going thru Paypal now.
He's willing to refund my money, but wants me to pay to have it shipped
back to him. To me, it's his bust. I wouldn't be upset if he didn't lie
about it and cover his tracks.
When I called him to say the mount was missing he said it's supposed to
be there. Went on to say he would call me back after he called his
warehouse to find out why they left the mount out.
Called back an hour later to say mounts are not in stock and what I
wanted. I said, the mount, when it comes available.
Instead of saying ok, he said no, it's optional and not included.
Huh? What?
Before I could say anything else, he said the mount is not included, and
that's not what the auction said. Her shifted gears quickly.

I saved the auction. The listing shows up on the dispute in paypal with
the wording, "with optional mount".

He goes by JNM supply as well. Winter Haven, FL.

Out of curiosity, what did you pay for the antenna?

And why did you buy a Metz?

So is the antenne. it must be "optional" even though it's in the
wording.

You should be entitled to the mount, or the full refund, I saw you
gave him the neg.

Actually, buying the Metz antenna is his first mistake.

I've went through two of them before I decided that purchasing a
Shakespeare was more cost effective than replacing Metz antennas every
three months. And, as it happens, I haven't replaced the Shakespeare
in the three years it's been on the boat.

Metz are crap antennas - always have been always will be. Their
attraction is that they are cheap and indeed, they are cheap.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)

Tom, I would say that you ought to know. Thanks! Now knowing that
info, what I would do is send the antenne back get whats left of your
refund, and call it a wash and chalk up to experience. either that or
keep it, make you're own mount and be hacked off.
