I have bought two things from uBid. Like you, one was advertised as new
and turned out to be refurbished. The other was of extremely poor
quality. Also, I had a very difficult time trying to get a refund for
the product and ended up having to write a letter to their Customer
Service dept. Finally, after a month of phone calls, I received a
credit.

I urge everyone not to use uBid. It is a place where companies dump
substandard products on an unsuspecting public.
