Hi Phil.

Looks like a boot.

Hi Phil.
Just opened the package, and the PCB dosent look like an original, did a few searches on the net.
Any chance we could figure something out, a partial refund, or a whole refund, and you get the PCB back.

Cheers
Michael

As you said you'd advertised it as original and aren't new to this hobby, I'd probably be pretty annoyed and very direct in wanting a refund including return postage costs.

Just because I'm not new to the hobby, it doesn't mean I know everything. Some people can look at a board and tell you exactly what it is. I certainly can't.

I've sold probably around 100 boards in the last 13 months. I've made 1 mistake. Human error.

Remind me never to deal with you

Dear Sir

It is with great disgust and contemptuousness that I contact you in this manner. you sir are a charlatan, a common fraud, how very dare you practice such quackery on my good self. You have ruined little Timmy's life with this here claimed so-called original board. It is observed, sir, that the logo is not within itself and it is indeed a font of another! thus getting my gander up and my wanton to plant a facer and darken your daylights or even have you cock up ones toes.

If however you feel we are at sixes and sevens then may I suggest providing me with a blunt of 20 guineas and I shall remove you from my black books forthwith.

Good Day Sir!

Mr. Raffles.

...but most likely something like what forcefulfil or Aaronboone said.

Awesome!

I just don't understand the whole keyboard warrior approach. Just be civil and nice. Not everyone is out there to rip you off.

It's all calmed down now anyway and we're chatting nicely

i once wrote a polite message like that and in reply, i was told that the seller has been in the business for 30 years and he knows more than me, and for certain it's an original.

i thought, sack it, my fault for not asking for a photo. always ask for a photo to avoid situations like this. even if it's an original, people might kick up a fuss cos there's a sticker missing or something silly like that i'm sure.
