    A bit cheesed off.
    The lead for my charger for my ohone had frayed.
    Ordered a new leacd from ebay.
    Auction pulled after I had paid.
    Went to nearest town.
    Bought lead & it doesent work.
    Or to be fair it only worked for 10 minutes or so.
    Totally cheesed off.
    So much for saving money :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Will you get the ebay money back? and surely you can get a replacement or your money back for the one you bought in town as it wasn't fit for purpose!
    Must use my stash up!

    message the seller for a refund, if you don't get it in a week, make a report to ebay.

    you can return the one bought in town - not fit for purpose
    Cats don't have owners - they have staff!! :D:p

    That sounds exciting.... enjoy, and lap up the freebies .... tea or vino! (as its posh)
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It
