Admin: If I post negative feedback and he retaliates, eBay won't intervene. They even have a policy where they spell this out, saying that feedback is a matter of opinion, and that they don't know enough about each individual situation to interfere for one particular party. This I can understand, because eBay can't possibly know who is telling the truth and who is lying in a situation like that. I don't blame them.
Anyway, my situation has improved somewhat. After that last rude e-mail he sent, I had had enough and quickly replied with a fiery one of my own. Basically, I told him off. Here's what I said:
Quote:
You are being extremely rude. I paid for a 1gb player, and did NOT deserve to receive a 512mb one. I have been nothing but polite to you, even though I am the one who is supposed to be angry at being lied to, but my patience has run low. Yes, $38 is still a good deal for a 512mb mp4 player, but that is NOT the point. I paid for a 1gb mp4 player and I should have received one. I am NOT going to use any of my hard-earned money to send it back to you when you are the one who made the mistake. I want some form of compensation via paypal. If I receive another rude response like I did before, I am filing a dispute with paypal. OK, maybe $15 is a little high for a refund. That was just a suggestion. That is why we can negotiate. I am trying to be civil here, but you are making it difficult.
Also, judging from some of your feedback and google search of your username, it turns out that I am not the only one with this problem. You know full well that your players are not their advertised capacity, but you don't care. I don't know how you sleep at night knowing you've ripped hundreds of people off. I also don't know why no one has suspended your account yet, but I will not rest until I get compensated in some form. I will NEVER buy ANYTHING from you again and will make sure that everyone I know also knows that you are a conman and a fraud.

I was afraid that it wouldn't work and I would actually be forced to follow through with a dispute, but I think my threats sufficiently scared him and his next reply was a little more up my alley:

How about you send it back for exchange and we'll cover your return shipping ($4.05)? Is that fair enough? Or we'll refund you $10 for the mistake.

Finally I got somewhere with that tyrant. I opted for the $10 refund, because as lattesurf said, who knows if he would just send me another hacked player if I chose to exchange (even if he was covering the
shipping)?
So basically, as long as I get my refund, I'm happy. I can live with a 512mb mp4 player, I just hated the fact that I was lied to and treated like dirt afterwards. I still haven't decided what kind of feedback to leave him, though.
The moral of the story is: DO NOT BUY FROM POWERSELLERTURBO. You WILL get ripped off. I know the prices look great, but they're too good to be true. That was how I got sucked in the first time. Still doubtful? Go to google and type in "powersellerturbo fraud" and you'll be convinced.
I'll keep you guys posted on what's going on. Thanks for the support.
