Me either - Ive never received a defect for an INR that was refunded immediately, except for this latest one (despite what Ebays policy is). In fact, I started a thread on it a couple of weeks ago, and others said the same thing.

Maybe things are changing / messing up because they are adjusting things in preparation for the changes to DSR coming next year... Or maybe they just realised they havent been following their own policy.
