    Contact the seller I would say. If he is reputable he will care for sure. That's my experience.

      If you purchased something from a proper shop, got it home and soon realized its unusable would you be impressed? if the shop continued selling them they would get so many returns that it wouldn't be economically viable to carry on.

      Amazon for example have reviews are worth reading. Ebay feedback consists of mainly "fast service thanks" very little feedback on the item itself. This ebayer sold over two and a half thousand of these phone cases before I noticed mine didn't fit.

      How long would a crap product last on Amazon if people read the reviews?

      A search for phone cases brings up the one I bought and many other people selling the same one so trying to find a good one becomes tedious.

      Ebay seems to have opened the floodgates for cheap rubbish made in China that's not suitable for its purpose but the feedback never indicates this, did I tell you about the PlayStation controller I bought that worked for one day only?

        Not only eBay.

        Perhaps are the sellers on eBay UK different from eBay Germany? I have mainly good experience with them.

          How much is a good phone case? Maybe you got your moneys worth.

            I usually buy cheap stuff on the internet (ebay and other sites) and I'm usually not disappointed. The secret is to keep a low expectation, so you can be surprised when your package arrives. And I've been surprised lots of times when the cheap stuff I buy turns out to be of exceptional good value for the price I paid.
