I am not saying who.. but if you find a deal like this on FleaBay dont bother to bid.
The seller want ~17$ to ship. So I ask about combining seveal modules in one box if one that BIG can be found. Seller, lets call the elm tree sales(cause they are just as shady) fails to give me a straight answer and instead asks me how many am i going to win. Dontcha just love it when a question get answered with another question!!
So I put a snipe on a few and won a few for very little. I get an invoice for $67+ to ship items that would fit in a box the a size of your fist. When I request another invoice I get mumbo jumbo about how delicate these are and very special packaging is needed and that some they send out are not so good so the must often replace them and how expensive it is to get them shipped from China===PLEASE.
And since the shipping is not refundable my guess is that to get a replacement you must pay the rip-off shipping rate again. or if you choose a refund you get back the dollar you spent on the module but nothing back on the WAY overpriced shipping..What a racket!!!
So then they send me a vailed threat about filing a case against me for non-payment.The module is most likely from a 7$ pointer with no IR filter so a lot of what you get is IR.
Then they came back at me wanting to make nice by offering cancelling . I kinda knew it would go that way-- just another reason so many peeps think that feebay really sucks nowadays. I offered to pay 34$ for shipping as a compromise but they would not budge. SO dont buy any modules from a seller that fits this description. A one cent module is not worth it.
