Check the distance selling part of the Act, unless the seller is totally honest with their description, the item is automatically miss sold and there is no time limit, however the do work on within the first 30 days, that's why I will never buy anything from China anymore because everything they sell is miss sold their descriptions are always vague, items marked with the EU conformity badge when the are not allowed to do it, Selling copied goods, selling dead computer components, and the story goes on. You have no protection from Ebay or Paypal when any of the above happens, as long as the seller says they will refund if items are sent back, you then have to pay the full cost of the postage to China. They know that you wont send it back because of the cost. Paypal will onle give you a max of £15 back no matter where you have to send it back to. IE I bought a Computer motherboard it was dead on arrival it cosy me £63.50 I could not get any satisfaction from the seller, I opened a case with Paypal they sent message to seller, seller said return and they will refund, Paypal said I must pay the postage and I cannot claim that from the seller. It was going to cost me £53.93 to send it, so I said I cant afford that on a pension, they closed the case and marked it resolved. Just because I could not pay out more money. So I strongly advise any buyer on Ebay to send a message to any seller and ask questions about the product, so you get something to print off, if there claims don't match what you get, they don't have a leg to stand on, that means no matter who you buy from then you are fully protected by the law. Don't depend on Ebay or Paypal you will just be diappionted, they are not interested, they have already made their money.
