Send that garbage back and be firm. Make it very clear that you want a full refund, no ifs and's or but's about it. Sounds to me like he knew the issues and he knew he was selling you junk, its the reason why he gave you an attitude.
There should be a better enforcement of selling threads regarding pics. I do my best to get the best pics and descriptions up and so should the rest of this community. We are in the 21st century, there is no reason why those pics should be so bad unless you're trying to hide something. I understand the mods here are stretched thin and I don't expect any grand change but this mainly falls on the users to demand clear pictures and clear descriptions.
Good luck and make it a point to get your money back. On that note, I would also caution any user thinking about doing business with this clown. If he is shady once, he has most likely been shady before and will continue to. You build a rep based on your intentions.

To be honest, Im not even amused anymore by the fact that most people these days don't know how to take care of their things. What truly amuses me is the fact that they try to sell that garbage online because they know they can get away with crappy pictures and misleading descriptions.

Another case of not researching enough before buying. Asking for more pics and info would have most likely avoided this whole situation.
Once again, in no way am I defending the seller. Those receivers are garbage. I would never try to pass something off to someone that looked like that. Nor would I not have mentioned how beat the receivers were, even if they do work fine. CA and electronics don't get along too well and I can't imagine why he would do that, but you never know with some people.
He offered to have you send everything back for a refund and even offered to pay return shipping (don't count on the return shipping part). Between him using some shady selling tactics and you not taking the time to ask for more pics and description of the receivers, (especially since there were no clear pics of them) I think that's a fair solution. I wouldn't expect him to take back the receivers, but not the transmitter either. And as far as I know, paypal won't see it that way either. I had a similar situation before and paypal wanted me to return everything for a full refund.
If I were you, I would contact paypal and find out exactly what you need to do to ensure you get a full refund before you contact the seller anymore. Follow their directions exactly and get your money back and find another radio that doesn't have any issues.

DO NOT mail, until Paypal advises you too. Just incase in the rare event they side with the seller.

Just a side note. You can probably get a new receiver case from Futaba and you can get replacement antenna's from a few places. I had a top deck break on my TC and it guillotined my antenna. Was pretty simple to replace.
I'd go for a full refund as you know if the receivers look like that, who knows what he did to the transmitter.
Good luck!

I would just let PayPal deal with the claim if the seller has stopped responding. Grab a screenshot of the original ad (I have the ad saved as a PDF if you need it) where it is mentioned that some details may have been left out. This is one where I would pack it at the post office and video the packing, sealing and handing it to the post office employee so that it can not be disputed what was sent back. Good luck man. Hate to see one of the good ones in a deal like this.

you just break the case. CA glue isn't really all that strong, plus who cares if they break the case since they've got a replacement. Best thing to do would be to get a refund, but if that can't happen and they actually work, getting a new case is a pretty good solution. Same goes with ESCs..
