Ebay sellers are giving me the ....'s

For a little while now, I have been trying to buy some BME280 modules for a little project around the house.

Being rather prudent with expending money , I figured to buy them off Ebay rather than some other more expensive places.

Now, after 3 goes and 3-ish months of deliveries (~1 month per seller), I am about ready to hit the roof, every time they have sent BMP280 modules.

And for those who might not know, the difference between the two types is:
BME280 - temperature, barometric pressure and humidity
BMP280 - temperature, barometric pressure

Also, how to tell the difference:

The one on the right is the actual one I have received and the pictures on the Ebay site showed the one on the left - the hole in the actual sensor is in different places depending on which one it is.

So ... how is that prudence working out for you?

We'll see, just ordered some from an Australian supplier at 4 x times the Ebay price.

99 times out of 100 I've never had any problem, just these bleeding things.

Me thinks one of the white [ ] boxes need to be filled in,
This https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32672210336.html one has a mark:


That costs more.

Aliexpress won't take my money, so I don't deal with them (and I'm very fluent in Chinglish).

They also want more than I paid for this last local order.

Does anyone in Australia deal in Velleman kits? Their VMA335 kit is a BME280 module, a lot cheaper than many on ebay.
(£8 retail in the UK).

Only a very limited range from a couple of suppliers and at about 3 times the price you see in the UK.

The VMA335 kit isn't one that is available of course.

Aliexpress refund feedback is horrible. I opened once dispute for not working reffilable cartridge. I airclogged printhead with it. Cartridge membrane was not working. I took photos of blocked cartridge and printed picture with missing color (i placed 3 original cartridges, 1 reffiled). They said that its not proof .They need to have a video. Meanwhile i removed clog from printhead. It was pain in ass. I injected ink to each printhead, btw printer is WF 7710. Injecting ink is only thing that works for me. But you need to be carrefull when pushing ink inside.

The Australian placed order arrived and I finally have the right thing - and it works too - added bonus
