Bad BNC Cable or am I misunderstanding their specs?

<< < (3/3)

ataradov:
Is it even worth returning? You will pay more in shipping. And I'm sure if you talk to the seller, they will just refund our money.

windsmurf:
I sent a message to the seller yesterday about it but haven't heard anything back.
The automatic EBay return system refunds all costs including shipping I paid originally, since the product was defective.
I'm not sure if the return shipping costs me anything but when I tried it, it didn't go over any shipping costs, and automatically generated a prepaid return label.
Not 100% sure if this gets deducted from the refund, but EBay didn't show me any cost for returning the item. 

I'm happy EBay is moving toward the industry trend of protecting the buyer rather than the seller.

as ataradov said... returning may not worth the trouble and cost. sacrifice one cable, dissecting it may reveals where the problem is, china cheap crap sometime can be made china cheap good with a simple fix, usually worked for me. starting from pulling out that rubber cover of BNC end, either being pulled out, or being destroyed, cut with knife into pieces if necessary. i suspect the gnd wire only being pressed between the BNC connector and the rubber cover, rubber cover got lose, so did the wire. if no problem there, strip the whole rubber sheath to see whats really going on on the entire cable. sometime can be fun to see how to do cheap crap manufacturing process. ymmv.

correct you will get 100% refunded incl shipping cost the item going to you, but your cost of returning it maybe burnt. so you'll lose both money and the cables. nothing to have fun with.
