REA CLEP review book wrong edition

[cookderosa]

I don't think I will be purchasing used from Amazon anymore. I was looking for the newest edition but I guess since the ISBN is the same the "Amazon seller" sent me this crap.

I learned my lesson. If anyone has one (either REA or the official) they would like to sell/trade me, please pm me!

This isbn isn't the same. When you sell, sites like ebay or amazon have a feature that lets you access prefilled data. It makes listing your book super fast- rather than typing it all out and taking pics. I use that feature often. HOWEVER, sometime, the seller (like in your case) selected the wrong pre-filled info. Clearly, they picked a newer edition thus the amazon database entered the newer edition's isbn. Had your seller compared isbn numbers, he would have noticed the difference. Demand a refund- you'll get it.
Also, this isn't really an amazon used issue- it's just a case of either lazy seller (check feedback first) or an accident. Accidents happen. I accidentally sold a wrong edition once, it happens.
Another thing- sometimes prefilled info is only available for new editions, but sellers use it anyway. In that case, they would say in the description that the edition is not what is shown. So, you do have to read the description, not just look at the photo.

Personally, I wouldn't buy from someone who doesn't have 100% + feedback. I know for me, I work very hard to keep my 100% rating- and that means giving refunds to keep people happy when there is a problem. If your seller has 100% + the last thing he wants is a negative feedback from you. If you bought from someone with less than 100, well.......you may be stuck because this seller doesn't care if you give negative feedback.

It just takes some time to learn the ropes of smart online buying, in the scope of things, this was probably an excellent (and cheap) learning experience!
