so i bought a 8th gen new shape honda civic but halfrauds wanted 300 pound for a plastic fascia adapter to replace the stuck in double din radio so i decided against this and bought one second hand from gumtree allegedly unused- now the photo showed it had brackets to be used with it aswell as did all the other sellers selling similar "fascias", i paid 45 quid for this and a few wires the adapter which usually cost about a 10er i needed and the single din converter (also about a 10er) as ill be installing that too... my question is the brackets were missing and the seller assures me i wont need them.. is he mistaken and should i atempt a chargeback on paypal as they were in the picture and not supplied? will i actually need them to secure the single din stereo or will there be a cage already hes argued his case via text message that they sohuld of been there but if they arent then i deffinately dont need them anyway, iv never fitted a stereo and he said he didnt need it in his which is weird being "unused" how would he know, is he trying to con me? can i manage without it... i think there are universal cages adapters ect i could probberly get from halfords but they seem 30quid and upwards... any advice please :D
 
I would report him to pay pal or return it as it's as you will probobly need the bracket and if it's the picture you should have it unless he stated otherwise
 
Regardless of what's in the picture, I think if it's not in the description then you're a bit stuck. When you talk about the brackets being missing, do you mean the cage that fits into the slot so the radio fits securely into the car?

have reported to paypal as seller is still unable to find the brackets and yes that is correct they hold the radio behind the fascia. unfortunate the ugy did seem genuine but i have confirmed with a fitter they are deffinately needed and has left me out of pocket
