A few days later the vendor has returned; same name, "brand new" - no ratings. Fortunately USPS has spotted my package at their sorting facility, so I expect it will arrive.
I enjoy the low prices from these vendors, but I do not think any returns would be possible.

Yep. I've gotten a few products that way. The major vendors with a website, etc seem to be ok, but I've run across a few where it took a long while and didn't work when it got here. At one time Amazon was pretty good about refunding when there was something shady about the vendor, but I've been a lot more picky about vendors in recent years so I can't really say if they still will do that or not.
