Ren. Best of luck with Trading Standards.
BUT
I've just spent a lengthy correspondence with eBay, Trading Standards, Consumer Advice etc about a car cover I bought last December. Ok it's a car cover, cost £100 and fell to bits in 5 months...get over it. But it's not the point, it's the principle more than anything. Sent several polite emails to the seller, got blanked. Complained to eBay, they didn't want to know. Emailed Trading Standards, they said ask eBay for seller's mailing address. eBay refused, said it was against policy. Back to Trading Standards, sent them a dozen photos and copies of my emails to seller and eBay, they bounced me over to Consumer Advice who basically said they were sorry about the problem but that I didn't have a hope in hell getting my money back from a firm who traded through eBay.
If you want to restore photos yourself, there's dozens of programs which are pretty good, you normally get a decent photo program bundled even if you buy a printer or scanner or something. There's even a good freeware program called Gimp, I use it for my 3D stuff alongside Paint Shop. Even a fully featured copy of Photoshop wouldn't cost you any more than you paid for the restoration.
Good luck 
Regards, Bruce.

Thanks for the input,T S are sending a letter attached
with a photo that Baz did for me,and explaining in
writeing what i expected for the money paid,pointing
out that what was done did not seem value for money,
he has spoken to T S by phone and defends his work,
so they want him to explain in a letter to them as this
could go to small claims,and want his view on that.
yes could have gone out and bought a program/printer/
scanner for the money shelled out,but i didnt cus i thought it was a job for people classed as proffesional
in that work,now i know its not,as Baz as shown.
Regards
Ren
