Hi Andrew
Have to agree with Geoff on this one as I have the exact same experience with my e-bay cheapy.
Like you, I thought I would take a punt due to the low price but unless you have very dark skies you probably wont use it much due to the rapid dimming of the laser beam. It's absolutely useless in light polluted skies
I guess the old saying "you get for you pay for" rings true with these cheap laser pointers. Try Googling "green laser fades", as I did after the event, and check out the results.
From my experience I would pay a little more and get one locally
Best of luck
