Well, that doesn't make me feel good though. My ebay experience has always been mixed. This last time I ordered some 7-segment LED displays and ended up with some random items. Hope the new shipment has the right items. Seller didn't ask me to ship back. I bet the random item is not much value to the seller with like 100K reviews. Somebody (was that me or some other member) a while back started a thread about ebay sellers, who to buy from and who to avoid. This seller you have dealt with definitely belongs to the mixed feeling bucket (did cr0sh buy from the same seller?).
(did cr0sh buy from the same seller?)
yes, I used his link
on a positive note I found the problem, bad crystal on the U2, popped off the smd part, and with a little wirewrap magic attached a though hole known to be good crystal and bam, I can pick it up with avrdude, and when I plug it in it shows up as /dev/USBACM0 just like it should
a couple evenings dicking around is so much better than waiting another 32 days round trip for a 1 cent part Ill toss on my next parts order from digikey/mouser
