which one do you mean?? the broken corrector plate or the dodgy country its coming from with no returns policy?

[AndyH]

Wahahaha !

[George]

If the corrector plate is broken then its scrap, the corrector is matched with the primary and the chances of getting another corrector plate are virtually nil.......avoid this buy.

[RobH]

Chuck it in the bin!

[beamish]

What a shame

[yesyes]

Oh, I had no idea that the corrector plate and the primary are a match in these SCTs. Good to know and remember...

[Photosbykev]

Buy it now £1650 and postage £380 !!!!! for £380 p&p I'd want it hand delivered by Kylie in her white dress !

[brantuk]

Well the BIN price added to P&P totals more then the original £2000 he paid for it. Plus it's broken. Might as well get a new one - what a nonesense!

[Photosbykev]

you just know someone will buy it lol

[RobH]

I see that the price is for the 11 inch plus the 8 inch CPC.

The items are listed as fit for purpose, which the 11 inch obviously isn't. Is there any way of reporting this to ebay?

[Earl]

You could possibly report the item under this:

[RobH]

Just reported it, although explaining about matching corrector plates in so few characters was tricky!!

[yesyes]

my gosh... that Brief Description field surely is short... ;-)

Couldn't you post a link to this thread - although I guess they wouldn't be inclined to follow it...?

[yesyes]

i think even that link is too long. the text field allows 30 characters or so... bit silly really...

So long as they don't turn up here that's fine. I'd hate to be the one to have to tell them

[yesyes]

Oh, I got a "thanks for reporting this" email from ebay. So I replied with a more detailed description of the issue and a link to this thread. I also suggested to increase the size of that text field on their website...

[yesyes]

It's still listed... Typical ebay. Great if everything goes smooth.. But don't dare needing their support.....

Don't worry about your description being accurate. They won't read it anyway. If it sells, they get their commision whatever.

Steve

[yesyes]

I got the same impression from their replies. They just don't care. They are not the ones selling it and they don't enter into a contract with the buyer. And if something goes wrong, they just refer you to the PayPal Buyer Protection. Not paid with PayPal? hehehe, tough luck!

[Celeste]

Lol seller has relisted.....it didn't sell
