Bought a kit off ebay to build problem is the size is way off. In his listing he states it is screen accurate. As soon as I saw it it looked off. The width is 7 3/4" but from what I've read here it's supposed to be 8" wide. I emailed him and he's telling me that that's wrong and his is the screen accurate size and not to mention it's not one inch think either. Can some one shed some light on this for me we wants me to cut the decal to fit the board which coast me 30 dollars from fedex printing.

 
This seller is ripping you off. This board is obviously too thin. And the rounded end looks horrible.
 
Ya and on top of that his magnets came broken and he wants me to pay for shipping to ship it back to him so he can fix it then pay for shipping back to me. Do u think ebay or PayPal would give my money back?

 
I can't help on exact dimensions, but you should get your money back from that guy. Here's some pics of a screen used board I took earlier this year where you can easily see that the thickness/edge shaping isn't right and that front end is definitely not rounded correctly.

The dimensions of a screen used board are 28.5" x 8" x 1". My decal files are adapted to these dimensions.

Those parts are miles away from screen accuracy and definitely not cast off of screen used parts!!!
 
From seller him self


Ok first of all the after market decals aren't screen accurate. My boards are. All measurements came from a guy I know personally that worked on the movie. Further more I don't appreciate you telling me I sold you a broken product.

Send him this. It's a simple overlay of a KNOWN screen used board over his REALLY wrong board.

Tell him that if he doesn't refund you you'll file fraud claims with eBay and Paypal.
