    What camera are we talking about..a £30 one or £450 one?

    A £30ish one - if it works. A £0 one if it doesn't. I know it's peanuts but if it doesn't work, it's still a waste of money....

    I got an underwater housing for it from the local camera shop for a fiver. I tested that on a dive (empty) and it was OK so I looked on ebay for the camera. It's not a very common camera so there haven't been many on there! The battery was £3.99 and the charger adaptor was 99p from 7dayshop. Play.com are selling the charger for £19 on its own!

    nah you jkust put it on eBay saying untested but you have been told it needs a battery :rotfl:
  • Hmm the no collection thing seems pretty suspicious to me, I'd steer away from it really. You could possibly contact Ebay and ask them whether it would end up in your favour if it didn't work and keep the correspondence.

    It arrived and there's nothing wrong with it. :j The battery had been put in the wrong way round.

    Definitely "significantly not as described" but I don't think I'll complain:rotfl:
