    refunding a deposit?

    Yes, he's demanding a refund. The original sale was through ebay, but I phoned him and explained he'd be comissioning the construction of the computer etc, not purchasing one. Explained the terms of sale (that it would take 4 weeks etc) and we went from there. The seller, despite my best...

    Is anybody familiar with the LED lighting industry?

    I purchase quite a few LED strip lights a year. whenever I've looked into it i've always found them for £10-20 on ebay, as opposed to £100-200 from an electrician.
