Five.

Big problem with USB power sources is even at 400mA some will drop voltage.  I have seen ones rated for 5V 1A which go down to 3.75V at 700mA.

I have a few well-built ones which will provide 5.01V or better at 1500mA draw.  I use these for power sources, with appropriate barrel connectors, for various things around: Sega Genesis HD, CF7+ and nanoPEB (TI,) Atari 130XE, etc.

I looked at ebay today and saw that geraldet55 is no longer a registered user.

           User ID geraldet55 (Feedback score -6)
No longer a registered user

so that did it, I sent ebay a customer service "didn't receive an item" and got a reply within about 2 minutes.

eBay Customer Support made a final decision on your case
Good news! We issued you a full refund.



I sent him a message near the end of december and got this:

hi, i ordered 2 when they first posted. never got them. ended up getting a refund.

[Acill]

Clearly a scam attempt. I also never got the pair I ordered. I was refunded the other day as well.

[LoadWB]

Damn shame but a risk worth taking, IMHO

[stefcep2]

Also got a refund

[ddniUK]

[klx300r]

almost forgot I ordered a few of these when first came out...put in my support ticket yesterday after seeing this thread and got refund today...must admit though that this is a rare occurrence for me on EBay so far
