All the functions seem to work without the 500 mA fuse NOT in place other then being able to test current  in the mA range. I did try both my BM235 400 mA fuse as well as swapping the same fuse from the Ragu meter which is basically the identical meter, with no temperature reading function. But since I’m getting a low inaccurate reading, I must assume that the one I received was damaged somehow and the bad fuse was just the indication. Not worth bothering to return it, as long as the rest of the functions work properly, and in all my tests on the DMMCHECK Plus tester, the readings are very accurate and within specs.

This thread's multimeter, it ain't $9, this is a deal only in the USA.

I stopped shopping Amazon because of ridiculous prices, and differences in what they offer USA vs Canada.

Amazon USA $CAD 13.16 = $US 9.97  plus $9.48 Shipping and Import fees to Canada.
Amazon Canada $CAD 39.00 = $US 24.50  with free shipping.
Amazon Australia $AU 63.07 = $US 46.59  plus $15 shipping.

$49 for a USB RS-232 converter just paid $1.94 from eBay  :-DD

So $20 shipped to Canada. $11.50 on EBay, did not calculate shipping, though many listings show free. Amazon Prime members get this one in two days, free delivery.
