Ebay strikes again, well to be more precise, eBay sellers strike again. I won this insulation tester which was photographed working, oh hell yeah.
As soon as I received it I switched it on, nothing, so I opened it up expecting that the seller had removed the batteries, nope, what a disgusting mess I found. I took photos and opened up a dispute via eBay this afternoon within minutes of receiving it from the postman. Within 30 minutes I had a full refund and the seller has sent me a returns label, so I'll be sending it back tomorrow. I have asked him if he really wants me to return it or bin it, save him the job of doing it?
He was very apologetic though, saying that had been in the left while since he put the batteries in, and he thought that he tested it before sending it to me, this somehow I doubt, but at least it is resolved and speedily, I have been once to often by sellers who have played for time, so I don't give them the option now.
