    Item arrived as described and very quick. Although the item did not serve my purpose I was able to reach out to the seller to explain. He agreed I send him the item back for a full refund. Everything worked out in a very professional manner and smooth. I would definitely buy again from this seller. I just wish all the sellers in Ebay were as responsible as this seller. Recommended 1000%.
