It's the old saying... "Life is like a Box of Chocolates, Ya never now what your gonna get", apparently applies to voltage regulators that are purchased on ebay, 5 pcs for $3, shipped. Never in my wildest dreams did I think they were being shipped by Forest Gump! Shipped in a small ziplock and put into an unpadded #10 size brown envelope, with absolutely no stuffing or chip board to protect them! They sure don't look like the pictures in the listing. Doh!

This is just reassuring me that what Timiskander told me was wise. (don't buy off eBay as you don't know what your going to get (or in this case how your going to get it)).

Definitely sucks, at least it wasn't a lot of money but still dollars are dollars.
