I did before the patch and the tassle. I had already taken the brad off that held the buckle on to one of the straps, but buckles are ridiculously scarce at all the local sewing and hobby shops along with Chicago screws to replace the brad. I had messaged scotlandkiltcompany via eBay to let them know I was sending both straps back. Then the other defects popped up. I sent them another e-mail and laid out all the problems and told them to just refund me the price of the sporran straps and that I wouldn't be incurring the cost of shipping them to the UK.

Aggravation aside, both sporrans are great for the price, though the leather one is a little blemished thanks to me. If my repairs on the fur tassle don't hold up, I'll have to order a replacement for about $12. If I can find buckles and screws for the straps without spending too much on shipping, I'll still be way ahead of the game, moneywise. I'll have 3 sporrans, 1 plain sporran strap, 1 fancy plaque strap, and an extra leather targe sporran to sell but no strap to go with it.
