I got mine from ebay as well. Problem is I havent received it yet. Apparently it is coming from Hong Kong. Factor in the holidays and I probably wont get it until next year!
Ordered it on NOV 30th BTW from gainexpress |

Be sure to calibrate it with a seawater standard. Calibration with RO/DI will likely lead to inaccuracy when using seawater.
This one is OK in its range, but some on ebay are not suitable for 35 ppt seawater. So be careful what you order.
