Bought something from a small internet company (despite saying I never would do again)
Surprise surpise, the sodding thing is faulty

Can you claim the money back?
You should use your credit card for those things, and let the bank do the fighting.

I have already contacted VISA
I only got the item today, but it was faulty. "The Telephone Depot" are not answering their phone (irony?) or replying to my emails.

I will learn one day.

It's not fair, is it?
You trust them and they do this to you.

You'll probably get the money through the credit card, but it still makes you angry.

Is it only a bit faulty or it doesn´t work at all?

It's a retro style telephone
the dial doesn't work. I could receive incoming calls (I assume). It cost £55, so it's not a huge amount of cash, just frustrating.

From now on i'll stick to Amazon.com

I've decided the same
I don't even bother with ebay most of the time.

A retro style telephone? Those with the numbers in little holes in a wheel?

You know, when you hung up the phone, there is a little "wall" that comes down, and you hear the click. You can dial by pressing that wall the right number of times, with a little pause in between numbers. Don´t press it too hard, as if hunghing up, just enough to make the noise.

Yeah, it's a refurbished 1970's telephone with a modern socket
I gave up on fleabay years ago

Then you can make calls if you're patient enough
