Please understand that my questions are academic...not necessarily seeking a remedy or sympathy which you at first surmised. I am unclear as to what specific remedy you could possibly offer besides a discussion about whether there is a warranty issue anyway ;)

Not trying to pick a fight. Just saying I am not looking for sympathy or judgement...just discussion.

1. The tubes are 5814A.

2. The tubes were advertised, specifically, as "preamp tubes" in the header for the auction.

3. Yes, it was eBay. I stated this in my original post. However, this would cross the line in calling out the seller, right?

4. Yes, I filed a dispute. The seller hasn't responded yet though. So, still pending.

5. No, unfortunately, seller accepts money order only.

And your final statement is exactly the type of feedback I was seeking. Is it reasonable? It seems that there are differing levels of expectation from a warranty standpoint whether the seller is an eBay seller as opposed to a more 'standard' business. If I purchased the tubes from a boutique seller, it would be one thing...from eBay another. I just find it curious and intriguing. If the same tubes were purchased from a more traditional merchant...well, what of it you know? It's an old tube, not meant for critical apps, etc, etc. and your expectations are out of line. I guess I am just trying to understand the difference and find out why there is that difference. Is it because eBay sellers are presumed to be not "professional" tube sellers? And what constitutes professional. That they make their living from it? Expertise? Volume?
