I take revenge on principal, for one reason so nobody else gets conned - somebody could need something urgently. I simply click Ebay's "return this item" and state it's not as described. This 99% of the time makes the seller concerned (unsolved complaints where Ebay has to intervene increases the fee percentage for the seller in future, and can eventually make them lose their account).

I once bought an adapter to convert two molex power plugs to a 6 pin graphics card power plug. When it arrived, it was wired up incorrectly. Both the 5V and 12V lines from the molex (PSU end) were connected together to feed the graphics card end's 12V pins. When I sent the seller a message about it, informing them it would have shorted the 5V and 12V lines, I was told "if it's a good power supply it can handle it". I told Ebay they were selling a product which could damage people's expensive equipment or possibly cause a fire. Ebay returned my money, I kept the adapter, rewired it properly, and it worked fine.

We needed some light bulb adaptors so bulbs with a SES (small Edison screw)
could be used in LBC and SBC (large/small bayonet connector) socket.

We bought some and everyone one of them tripped the circuit breaker in the
consumer unit as soon as a bulb was screwed in. On closer examination, I saw
that the metal contact that touched the tip of the screw fitting was mounted
too high so as the bulb was screwed in, the contact distorted so part of it
touched the screw of the bulb as well as the tip - instant short circuit.

I sent very clear feedback to Amazon that this product was dangerous and not
fit for purpose. I never heard anything back, but I saw that the item was no
longer for sale after that.

Ouch. I imagine if you hadn't screwed it in as tightly, or some of them weren't quite as badly made as yours, you could have caused an arc which could overheat and melt the fitting.

I don't like things that could catch fire when I'm not around, burning down my house, but I never bother objecting to other things like electric shocks. For example I have a 15W "corn on the cob" style LED bulb still in use that I bought a few years ago on Ebay. The LEDs are bare - you can touch them (and their live ends). They're in series - fed from a 150V DC rather simply made capacitive dropper. If you touch the right bits of it, you get that across your fingers - i.e. the mains, a capacitor, a resistor, then you. Not sure how much current would flow, but it was enough to make me jump, enough that if I was on a ladder I would have jumped off it. I guess 15W at 150V would be about 100mA (which the health and softy folk claim is lethal - yeah maybe if you're 90 years old with a dicky ticker).

I sent very clear feedback to Amazon that this product was dangerous and not

So Amazon didn't even bother refunding you? Ebay are a lot better, you get your money back the instant they believe something isn't what it's advertised as.

I have not had any problems with Amazon except one time. Grandson
wanted a batery powered toy. The batery was supose to be rechargable.
Would not recharge. Sent back and got money back in a short period of
time.

I ordered 2 things off ebay that never came. They were both under $ 10
and I received a refund in a week or two.

I ordered some electrical connectors that were advertised as the wrong
size off ebay for about $ 10. Sent note to seller. Told him I could
still use them as it would cost almost as much to send back as they
cost.Said they may want to update their ad. A week later they had
checked the size , said thank you , keep the item and were refunding the
money.

Plenty have got a full refund from Amazon but its not clear how often
that happens with third party sellers on amazon as opposed to stuff
that amazon themselves are selling. That's the big difference with
ebay, ebay doesn't actually sell stuff itself.

One wonders then why the seller did not simply wire it correctly.
Sometimes though there are times when what looks like an error is
deliberate due to the mis specification. I won't bore you with details, but
back in the old zx spectrum days, we used to make and sell a pcb to allow
some interfaces made for the Sinclair spectrum, work on the newer Amstrad
ones.This meant that 12 v was on a supply marked 5v. The point was that the
supply in fact had never been 5 v, although if you had put it on that pin,
it still worked, it was always 12 v. The number of times we had to explain
this made me feel like an endless tape loop.

Presumably the seller of my adapter had no clue about basic electricity. Errr.... that's the live and that's the neutral? Nevermind that a computer power supply has more than one live. There's 3.3, 5, and 12V at least.

I'm not sure what you mean, this was an unused pin marked 5V that was later used for 12? And I thought the spectrum was 9V? Did it boost to 12 somewhere inside?

And if it's 1.1" too short? ;-) You clearly haven't read Murphy's laws.

I'm not so sure about the price anyway. I can get a 10m DVI cable for only twice the price of that adapter. Presumably I can get a 5m cable for about the same price as the adapter.

The only valid use I can think of: Just what you need if your setup
causes a cable you already own to be 1" too short. If the equipment is
rack mounted, the only options might be the adapter or a longer cable.
The adapter is cheaper than buying a longer cable. Admittedly not a
common scenario!

Alternatively, if you have some equipment with a recessed socket,
adding one of these permanently will make it closer to the surface
and easier to plug/unplug a cable into.

Isn't this a 'port saver'? Fix it to the equipment so that continual
plugging and unplugging wears that, not the port on the equipment.

That would make sense, if it was sold as such. But it says "adapter". It does not adapt in any way.

Actually, part of it is a right-angle adapter.

It has two actually, so you can't tell because they go in opposite
directions.

Perhaps, but it's sold as an adapter. The seller is not responding to my query.

Commonly used to permanently mount to a device, to avoid wear and tear
on the fixed connector where the cable is removed and replaced
frequently. Could also be useful to stand off an unusually wide-bodied
connector that doesn't fit into a recessed port.

In response to your second sentence, I had thought of that. But it looks pretty much the same size as any DVI plug.

What I have had problems with is HDMI plugs. Every single HDMI plug I've seen is unnecessarily huge (perhaps some shielding?). Try this - a motherboard where the PCI express socket for the graphics card is in the uppermost position (I always buy ones with them in the 2nd position from the top now). Place this motherboard in 50% of cases where the area where the back of the cards have sockets is inset by half an inch. The topmost card thus has almost zero space to the side of it. You cannot fit an HDMI plug in there. Only solutions? New MB, new case, or put the graphics card in the usually slower secondary slot. Somebody really ****ed up there.

In response to your second sentence, I had thought of that. But it looks

But since it stands 1" proud of the original, it may well allow
a cable with a bigger than usual block behind the plate that
the screws go into to be attached to a recessed connector.

Nope, that would produce a thicker cable not connector.

Yep, you did when buying the case.

Never seen that with DVI, all plugs are pretty much the same size.

Nope, that would produce a thicker cable not connector.

But you also shield the connector. Being next to the device, it's probably more likely to pick up interference there.

card is in the uppermost position (I always buy ones with them in the 2nd

It's the better bigger fancier full tower cases that have the problem. The more compact cases don't have the indent.

**50%** of cases have the problem.
