Got robbed on ebay...
hey peeps,
I bought a Logitech speaker set on eBay, and the left Satellite was broke. Basically the company has been really unhelpful, won't return calls or anything. They did send me a replacment sub after I told them that that wasn't the problem. So I have two subs and a broken hard wired remote.
AND..... Logitech won't sell replacement parts. So I have a dead weight

You bought from a seller on Ebay, NOT from Logitech and I doubt they are an authorized re-seller.
Thats why there is no warranty from Logitech. Lots of Companies have this policy. Hit up the seller for the return. This is just one of the reasons I don't shop on Ebay. An example of policy regarding Warranty and online sellers is mentioned by Denon;

Notice Dakmart which is authorized to sell refurbished products only. Many products are listed as \"New\" on his site... because by Law you can call a refurbished product New if 70% of the original parts remain. He doesn't mention he is Authorized for Refurbished product, just that he is a Denon authorized e-tailer. Do some research and buyer beware.

Well, I use eBay very regularly - it's how I make my living - and if you're ever unhappy with a purchase, and the seller is useless, file a PayPal claim - assuming you paid with PayPal. PayPal is very pro-buyer. When you file a claim, PayPal immediately freezes the amount of money you paid in the seller's account - whether you're in the right or not. This gets the seller's attention real fast. I've actually talked to PayPal on the phone, and when you file a \"substantially not as described\" claim, the best thing to do, is file the claim, then immediately send the package back to the seller - with tracking. PayPal will always give you a refund. Or, you can just wait it out to see what PayPal decides, which in this case will probably be in your favor anyway.

To expand on Wood's idea, open a seperate checking account and get your CC debit card thing and only use that account for online purchases. Only transfer money to that account right before you buy something.
I have 4 accounts: Savings account, personal checking account (MAC card for my wallet), a checking account for online bill pay, and a checking account for online purchases.
Helps you organize too...
