			<h1>What&apos;s up with products not being as listed lately?</h1>
			<p>Day 00520: Monday, 2016 August 08</p>
		</header>
<p>
	The mobile case that I ordered the other day was not as described on the product page.
	I knew that it likely wasn&apos;t waterproof, but it claimed to have a screen protector as part of the case.
	I double-checked the product page today to be sure.
	It says that the product is two pieces: a stylus and a protective case.
	It also says that it has a screen protector.
	While it doesn&apos;t directly say that the screen protector is built-in, it does say that there are only these two pieces; the screen protector must then either be a part of the case or a part of the stylus, but being a part of the stylus doesn&apos;t make any sense.
	Sure enough, the mentioned stylus is included, but the screen protector is not only a third piece, but a separate product within the shipping envelope.
	I tried to leave feedback warning people about the misleading product page, but eBay won&apos;t allow me to leave feedback without creating an account.
	I don&apos;t really feel like doing that at the moment, so I instead used the form to contact the seller.
	This form said that if the product wasn&apos;t as listed, my only solution was to request a refund, so that&apos;s what I did.
	The form said that if the seller doesn&apos;t respond by 2016-08-11, I can escalate this and have eBay step in to help.
	I will be doing that if the need arises.
	This isn&apos;t about the money, it&apos;s about having products listed as what they really are.
</p>
<p>
	I also emailed NextStep Recycling to see if they&apos;ve gotten any Wi-Fi cards in.
	Unfortunately, their email contact form didn&apos;t offer any form of confirmation, so I can&apos;t even be sure that it got through.
	I&apos;ll just have to hope for the best and perhaps try again later.
</p>
<p>
	I tried to test my <abbr title="subscriber identity module">SIM</abbr> card in my mother&apos;s old mobile, thinking that it might have a Wi-Fi hotspot function that could be used with my plan.
	It was a long shot, but no harm could be caused by trying.
	I found that the device is indeed not <abbr title="subscriber identity module">SIM</abbr> card locked, as it connected to the Internet, downloaded a notification, and received <abbr title="Short Message Service">SMS</abbr> messages from my carrier.
	However, as my mother had forgotten the screen lock <abbr title="personal identification number">PIN</abbr>, we weren&apos;t able to even attempt to set up the Wi-Fi hotspot with it.
