Thanks Toko_jo,
Sorry I didn't send a pic of the bike - yes, they are quite rare but the CDI is the round 6 pin plug type, not the double square type.  I can't imagine Honda making lots of different units for machines where no advance curve is added and indeed have found units for ATC 200 quad bikes which are PHYSICALLY the same and it's only responding to a crank signal to energise the coil.  Might be worth a punt for £12 delivered - only what I lost on the non-deal with CMSNL.  I have bought lots of stuff from them in the past with excellent service - just written down to experience and probably Paypal to blame but CMSNL should not take money if no stock exists, despite what their computer might say.

Anyway, I decided to bite the bullet and order a new CDI unit for this CBX250 with no spark - everything checks out ok but the readings for the CDI are nowhere near.  CMSNL web site had a 'hurry, only 2 left' message so I pushed the button.  A few days later (after taking my money from Paypal) I got an email saying 'out of stock, refund due'.  About a week later, the refund arrived but was around £11 less than I had paid.  A couple of bullshit email replies later, I'm still about  £11 out of pocket (exchange rates, Paypal commissions etc)
I don't think payment should be taken until the item is existent and ready for dispatch, so be very sure when ordering from these people that they ACTUALLY have stock before parting with card or Paypal details.  If that had been for a £1000 plus order, you could be at least £50 out of pocket!

By the way - their web-shite still shows 'last one left'. I think if it had been a larger amount, I might have contacted a Solicitor.

Hello Ian,

if you paid via Paypal then you can open a refund case via their website.
Login to your Paypal account to access this.

PayPal should persue the remaining amount due at no cost to yourself.


Good luck

Yeah, they've weird policies...
Ordered items for my GF's '07 NT700VA, some in stock, some 5 days delivery... the total amount would have qualified for free shipment...
Nah!
Some imbecile decided to make that 2 shipments, both with full shipment charges... FedEx... pfffff...  >:(
For that (massive) increase in total costs I could as well have ordered at the local Honda joint...  :o

Orcade-Ian:
Now there's a surprise!
I know it's only the cost of a coffee and cake but it's the principle.  Tried opening a dispute with Paypal - 'this transaction cannot be dealt with' or some such crap.  Tried logging on to CMSNL to be told 'email address or password incorrect'. Wtf?  Tried resetting password (both of which I have on a file) but 'no account registered with that email address'. They have obviously closed my account - their loss - I'll go elsewhere or do without!
Just for fun, I might tackle the credit card company.

Seabeowner:
If you open a dispute on ebay I've found you get quick response and the hold money back (or debit t heir account) immediately. I think they have AI at it now as last week I got a response in a few seconds.
