:wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:


sorry ppl for getting you into this mess, here's what we should do:
since march this year, ebay has implemented the "EBAY BUYER PROTECTIONS PROBLEM" and you can open a case against anyone who you would like to dispute against (including if the item you receive does not match description)... the case will go through a level of reasoning ie: (shipping tracking number, the conversation exchanged between buyer and seller, seller's recent reputation. etc.) basically anything that can provide logical reasoning that you may have been cheated on. the best thing is that ebay usually rule in the favor of the buyer (that is, if the seller fail to respond). ebay can refund you and even pay for the return shipping label no matter what.

i have had 2 cases opened through the dispute center and both cases i got FULL REFUND... one time, i brought a cell phone that doesn't work, after the seller failed to respond to my opened case, i escalated the case to an ebay rep and she provided me a shipping label via UPS w/ tracking. after i shipped it back, i called ebay (believe it or not, they provided an actual phone # and a unique pin so i get to speak with a human and not going through the machines) and the rep tracked the package for me. once it shows delivered, she refunded me directly off of the seller's PP without further doo...

the other time i brought a $100 giftcard and after receiving it, i found out the card only had $50 in it... the seller in this case has fled (with a 100% feedback wtf) so i did the same thing, opened the case, (no response) then escalated to the rep. he provided me a shipping label and i printed it out and shipped it back... i tracked it 2 days later when the status became "delivered" and called ebay.. the rep saw it and refunded me from PP. he told me the seller has $0 pp balance and withdrew all the money to the bank. but he refunded anyway and said pp with go after him for the money lol

anyhow, this is not a hard case to deal with because motel268 didnt provide tracking # even if he marked it shipped... in addition, the message he sent and his fvcked up listings and the recent complaints are all evidences against him. neg feedbacks might not phase him (i hate these type of powersellers who **** their customers just cuz they have "QUANTITY") but opened case with be posted to the account forever plus, that's the only way to get our $ back unless he refund himself... but i say fvck him and on top of the neg feedack let's all open a case on him and let ebay deal with his ass!

Several people have had excellent results buying those lasers, it's a good buy. Even if it is only 5mW, it's still 5mW for $2.95! :D

Yes, Kenom got one doing ~25mW, and he says others have reported up to 80mW's! I'll see if I can't get him to comment on this.

5mW? Heh, every single one of those I've gotten have been at least 20-40mW. Varying wildly of course. (but not within the same sample. :) ) I don't think they even care what the power is; slap a 5mW label on to sell it, and ship 'em out.

I got them -specifically- from "Motel268", this same guy. Took a while to show up, but show up they did, and they still work.

But $2.95 with free shipping is the best price for these! My "5mW" 405nm does 38mW and my laserland "50mW" 405nm star pointer outputs only 23mW. Unfortunately this seller doesn´t ship to Austria...

While I'm not fond of pen hosts or primary batteries but its $3, I'll try one. I'm sure the shipping does take a good while, I'll forget about it by the time it lands here.
Anyone try a 10440 with a spacer? Can't have much of a driver for $3.

And I thought I was getting a killer deal with my $7 pointers. Who remembers when they were available only custom made and for $200+?
