Same seller I got mine from. They do respond to eBay messages but can take a day or two to do so. I'm hoping they don't try to charge me postage a second time, certainly not at the original rate of $22! It only cost me $6.95 to send it back to them

acropolite: I did take the rain gauge apart when I noticed the problem. The reed switch was working OK and the system did record rainfall if I manually operated the bucket.
The problem was that when you spun the anemometer, you got a wind speed indication but you also saw the rainfall reading increase.
Another problem that I didn;t look into that closely, was that I was unable to zero the readings.
Due to these two issues, I didn't get as far as connecting to a PC.
