About thirty fife years ago when I had some back pain I was treated with a series of massages from a medical doctor. He was using a vibration massager which looked very simple but was very effective and after the treatment I was totally free of pain. I was so convinced that I bought the same massager. I used it once in a while when I had some muscle pain. For several years I hadn't touched it but when I moved from Germany to Spain I took it with me. Then when I had quite some heavy fisical work I used it sometimes and it gave me always release from tention and pain. 
About half a year ago when my horse had problems with his back legs, I remembered the massager and how it had helped me, so why not also my horse? So I gave him every day a good massage on the big muscles of his back. After a few days he was much better and I continued with the massages. He could walk much better and his mood also went up - and so mine aswell... But then after a few massages more the massager break down. There were a few little rubber pieces which just gave up after so long time of use. I tried to repair the massager but I couldn't find the pieces. And also I couldn't find any massager similar to this one. 
So I went to eBay on the Internet to find one. I bid for one which was the most near to the one I had used. I won it for a resonable price and also with a second one, because then I could use one for my horse and one for myself. So I was waiting that the massager would arrive. And I waited and waited... Nothing. Normally for airmail it needs two or three weeks from the US to Spain. After six weeks nothing. I emailed the seller. No response. I tried to phone him, but there was only an answering machine. 
So I looked for another massager in eBay and found an used one with a good brand and little used, - at least that's what the selling lady said. I won it after bidding against other people and paid the same night with payPal. But after a few days I was adviced that the money was rejected. After asking the selling lady told me that she doesn't accept payPal because then she needs to pay a commission to payPal, she wants payment with bitPay. OK, so I signed up with bitPay and paid the bid price of 70$ + 30$ for shipping + 5$ for bidPay = total 105$. When the massager arrived after a few weeks I used it emmidiately on my horse, apart of the strange noise it made it seemed to work, - but after 10 minutes the massager got hot and started to smell, so I had to stop it. Desesperately I used the massager for two days more because my horse really needed it. But then I removed the plastik cover of the moving part and saw that the steal plate was totally broken, no way to repair it... The selling lady answered my reclamation by telling me that the massager was working well when she send it and that the motor didn't heat up.
Meanwhile I had send six email to the seller of the two massager I had bought several months before. The time went by. Finally the seller wrote back that he would check about it. Again several months went by, I wrote an other email to eBay and they told me that I could announce the seller because of fraud. But how can I do this from Spain if the seller lives in the US? Anyway, what I needed was a funtioning massager and not a correspondence with people from eBay who answer my complains with form letters. 
Meanwhile I had bought another massager in an auction in eBay, an ultra sound massager. More than half the new price but
