Had they mentioned that the item works perfectly?

PS: I love aliexpress and never had a problem with them

Lot of reasons. Starting from, because I don't like it, ending with because I have already tried a couple of SD-to-CF adapters and none of them has ever worked with my PDA.

I have also bought a couple of compact flash cartridges from Amazon for a different project. Amazon prime will deliver the parcel in 1-2 days. I love Amazon! Serious and fast shipping! Fair price, excellent assistance, and no question on returns! If you want to return something, you return it and get refund! Just do it!

With eBay ... "sorry, the seller wrote no-returns in his auction, so you cannot return, claim-closed"
I repeat the problem, again the same answer. "item not as described". "sorry, you cannot reopen the claim". Two days wasted trying to contact them again, and again, and again, I repeated the same sentence something like four times with zero progress, and I am seriously tired to spend my time phoning Paypal to have these stupid things sorted out!

On the phone, the Paypal operator explained me that Paypal has a limited number of cases per year you can appeal. I thanked him, and asked Paypal to sort out the problem, and I am now going to prepare a return parcel. They will wait for a proof of delivery, then they will refund me entirely, but I won't waste my future options this silly way because eBay's been sucking more and more lately.

That's all. Problem solved  ;D

The seller should be responsible for any damages cause during the shipping, unless these damages are caused by natural disasters, traffic accidents, coup d'état, Godzilla going out for a walk in the postal vans ... I don't know, things like these  :-//

If the goods arrives damaged because the seller had prepared an inadequate packaging, who is the fault? is it the postman's fault?

That seller put two fragile Micro ElectroMechanical Hard Disk Drive (microdrive) units into a soft-bag without any protection, and it's like putting a fragile glass in a soft-bag, what state do you think it can get to?

So, asking +20 euro would make sense if *and only if* the seller is able to put some expanse foam inside a rigid parcel around the disks. Will it cost more than how he paid for a soft-bag? Yes, but I paid extra 20 USD for what? His "handling time", which what practically does it mean?

What did he do in practice? He put a soft layer of paper around the two disks, and put them inside a soft-bag.

He must have thought: "for sure it will work and I will make an extra $20, I just don't see what can go wrong"!

A true genius  :-DD

Sounds like a good example of what my English friend would refer to as a t*sser, or possibly a w*nker!  :D

Or more likely a tweaker  |O
The seller shows many of the symptoms of a chronic meth user.
