Just the timer without batteries by the look of it.

I'd say the green one. I got one of the white ones and it has a recharge
battery installed.

The white thing looks like a timer out of some other system.I do not
think the white thing and the green thing are anything to do with each
other but the add goes into great detail pictorially with the green
thing and puts one picture of something totally different.
I personally guess that the $8.00 thing is the white thing and the green
thing should be $18.oo judging by other sites.(But I would like to get
the green one for $8.00)

That is what I recon but the page looks open for a dispute or trying to
fool you or they are idiots, All the pictures of the green thing have
nothing to do with what is for sale,do they know what they are doing?

I have a couple of the white ones sitting in my shed. The white ones
do not use AAA size batteries, so presumably it's the green ones for
sale.

Anyway, their feedback sucks, I'd avoid these guys.

On that theme, I see somebody gave these guys a Neg with a positive
comment: "Awesome product awesome people highly recommended".
How do you fvck up leaving feedback like that??

I'd say you will get the white one (a very common kind of timer on
Ebay and elsewhere, different voltage variants available), because in
the body of the listing, that is called "Programmable Timer Switch",
and that is the only "shape" you can select.

Perhaps they ran out of the green ones and it was easiest to remove
the selection for it?

A bit odd to list such different items together, but here is another
listing doing the same, where you can select either one, and the price
adjusts accordingly:

Yeah, this is very common on Ebay for popular items. They make a
multi-item listing with a picture of the more expensive item, and
the price for the cheaper item appears in the search results. That
way they get better visibility in the results for the more expensive
item even though they have the same price as everyone else.

If you try to find something like an 8GB USB memory stick, it will
drive you nuts because all the prices that come up will be for 128MB
sticks, and you only get to see the 8GB price after bringing up a
listing page and selecting the correct item.

Were the white ones a complete unit that you put on a tap and timed
water comes out? they just look like a timer to plug into a seperate
water control unit.

I think that usually happens when someone changes their feedback due to the
item ceasing to function. They either forget to change both parts of the
feedback or are only able to change part of it.

I don't think it is "just a part of something else", but even if it
was made for use in some specific appliance/whatever, it does have
general use, and timers like that are widely available.

Here is a similar timer sold by Jaycar:

(Way more expensive, of course.)

No, the white ones are not a water timer - just purely an electronic
timer you can connect to whatever you want.

Oh, right. I wasn't aware you could change feedback once you left it.
