Thanks. Yeah, it sounded a bit wrong to me too. I'm just canvassing the
e-bay forums too, the consensus there seems to be that it's the sellers
responsibility if something gets damaged in transit. After all, I contacted
him the day it arrived and he can check that it's not working when he gets
it back.

Hmm. Not a big one for a barney, me, but I'm buggered if I'm going to be
left holding this thing.
