Default I figured out the 4gb scam!

Sorry for pointing out the obvious, but I just figured out the backbone of this scam of 4gb players that only have less than 1gb (or whatever the memory scam). I believe eBay sellers like UGOOLE, who btw advertises on this site through that eBay search link, know exactly what they're selling.

They've had plenty of people complain about the memory scam, yet they continue to sell the same players. If you complain to them, they will generally have no problem offering you a partial refund (they will try to refund the least possible). It's all part of the plan... they're making a lot more money on 4GB players, if you look at the closed auctions on eBay. More than on the same 2gb nano clones, yet they only have 1gb. They're taking into account having to refund some buyers, hoping most will pass eBay's 90day feedback limit before they find out the scam. They still make more money than being honest, because an occasional refund (especially a partial refund), still yields them far more net profit on ebay than selling players correctly advertised.

They usually have several eBay accounts already, to disperse the impact of the feedback record. If they get too many negs, they open another account and start over, no problem there. Because eBay does f**k all for its buyers and because these frauds make Ebay lots of money, they can continue like this until everyone stops buying nano clones. I'm an honest person (and eBay seller), but I know the mindset of a ripoff artist. These guys know exactly what they're doing, its all about the numbers. And they are getting away with it, guys! UGOOLE, Tradeasy and most other nano clone scammers in Hong Kong are still up on eBay still selling the same scam players.
