Kingslance.com

If you search for armor on Ebay, you'll likely come across Kingslance.com - I know I did. I ordered $25 worth of helmet padding from them and as soon as I got it I could see I'd been ripped off because there just wasn't much there. I did need my helmet padded though so I bought some contact cement and set to work. Everything seemed fine until after 2 or 3 hours of wear (and in the middle of a LARP) the padding started coming apart. I don't mean the contact cement didn't hold - that's still secure - the padding itself is coming apart. Now I have a problem because I have damaged padding cemented to my helmet. Maybe I could have done something if I had worked very hard to scrape off the padding but I gave up and bought a new helmet.

I sent Kingslance.com a message explaining what happened and asking what they could do to make the situation right. The answer was something like Sorry, we won't do anything. OK, here's a merchant that sells an expensive, very poor quality product and doesn't seem to care about customer satisfaction. Avoid them.
