For a little while now, I have been trying to buy some BME280 modules for a little project around the house.

Being rather prudent with expending money :happy: , I figured to buy them off Ebay rather than some other more expensive places.

Now, after 3 goes and 3-ish months of deliveries (~1 month per seller), I am about ready to hit the roof, every time they have sent BMP280 modules.

And for those who might not know, the difference between the two types is:
BME280 - temperature, barometric pressure and humidity
BMP280 - temperature, barometric pressure

Also, how to tell the difference:

The one on the right is the actual one I have received and the pictures on the Ebay site showed the one on the left - the hole in the actual sensor is in different places depending on which one it is.

Does anyone in Australia deal in Velleman kits? Their VMA335 kit is a BME280 module, a lot cheaper than many on ebay.
(£8 retail in the UK).
 
Aliexpress won't take my money, so I don't deal with them (and I'm very fluent in Chinglish).

They also want more than I paid for this last local order.
Aliexpress refund feedback is horrible. I opened once dispute for not working reffilable cartridge. I airclogged printhead with it. Cartridge membrane was not working. I took photos of blocked cartridge and printed picture with missing color (i placed 3 original cartridges, 1 reffiled). They said that its not proof .They need to have a video. Meanwhile i removed clog from printhead. It was pain in ass. I injected ink to each printhead, btw printer is WF 7710. Injecting ink is only thing that works for me. But you need to be carrefull when pushing ink inside.
