Aloha, Recently on eBay i purchased a Cymatium intermedius Pease. The picture showed it as a sinistral shell. Suspicious i asked the seller to provide extra pics. Sure enough the extra pics showed it as a sinistral. I thought getting this shell for my Reverse Coiled Gastropod buddy Harry Lee would be cool as he didn't have one yet according to the Jax site. I got the shell last week. I was thinking of re-forwarding the box to Harry but i had to just look at it myself before posting it. I was floored to see a small dead dextral intermedius. I wrote the seller who explained it was the same shell. I looked at the pix again only to discover she had all the pictures reversed! Boy was i sad to think that in this age that people can't tell a normal picture from a mirrowed image shot. Well i contacted the seller, even provided pix of her item she sent vs the corrected pix of the true item. Even explained to her fully what a dextral and sinistral shell is and added a pix from the Jacksonville site for a visual aid. After all this what i got was her admitting to reversing the pix but she felt she didn't have to refund my purchase due to the fact she was a single mom with kids and spent the money. I guess that latter part was true because her feedback shows her buying a 14k ring right afterwards. Sorry Harry.
