Hopefully, they’ll turn up.

Be careful with the magnetic balls if you have any children or pets around. It was on the news the other day that a wee girl had swallowed some of them and they are so strong they tore through her gut as they tried to connect inside her.

Drury Plaza then Vista Cay!

quite possibly - the magnetic balls can do some serious damage if ingested by young children.animals and a lot of them come from abroad where they don't have the same health & safety guidelines uk toys sales are required to adhere to. There was an article the other day highlighting the dangers of the balls and other items like button batteries and in that it said that they are pushing for ebay & amazon to take more responsibility for 3rd party sellers selling items that are not approved.

So today... almost two weeks after they were due to arrive, they arrived! The problem is eBay have already issued a refund. Does anyone know how I now go about repaying for them? I have to pay for them. My conscience won’t let me not. Do I contact PayPal? The seller? eBay?
Thanks.
