Do not buy either telescope-- both are junk.
Instead buy one of these --

Can't see anything
This is a simple refractor telescope. Put the diagional into the focuser and then put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the diagonal. DO NOT USE the 2x barlow.
Take the scope outside during the day and point it at a building or telephone pole in the distance-- take the lens cap off. Practice focusing the scope on the distant object until you get a sharp clear image.

No
they did not give
Why would you need a 60mm eyepiece? I doubt these can even be purchased since I have never seen anything over 50mm -- this is a VERY low power eyepiece! The bigger the number the lower the magnification.
The normal ones would be 20mm-25mm and a 10mm-12mm.
This company sells eyepieces-- they come in 3 sizes, .965, 1.25, and 2 inch. Measure the hole in the focuser and buy the correct size:

I can't see out of the scope and really don't
There is a good website for beginners with these small scopes at
THIS LINKTo start out, try the scope with the LEAST powerful eyepiece (the one with the biggest number) in daylight (but never point it anywhere near the Sun). You need to zero in the finder scope in daylight too, or you will never be able to find objects with the main scope at night. If you got a Barlow lens with this scope, throw it away.
