Default Re: Exposing the fraud on ebay

I checked out this seller's ad. I'm very impressed. He's selling the exact same 2GB Nano Clone the equivalent of $78.50US, that I bought on ebay a few days ago for $21US. Minus the $2 silicone skin. Oh, and the .99c little velvet pouch bag, which I dont know how I'm going to do without.
His photos are the best though, so maybe that's what accounts for the real difference in your cost price. And he's such a class act, he includes a manual in English. I'll probably be lucky to get mine in Chinglish, but then, there are free English MP4 Nano clone manuals you can download.

He's got a very impressive record, 100% Positive feedback on 254 sales. I'm sure his previous feedback record under whatever his previous ebay trading name was, was probably even more impressive. Maybe something like 50 million negative feedbacks. And he says his players are so special, they never even saw the light of the Hong Kong sun, is that right? They must be made in England, then. Staffordshire would probably be a good guess for Nano Clone production, eh wot? Maybe he has a factory making them just for "shinynewstuff"? Instead of a sweatshop filled with 10 year old Chinese children, its a sweatshop filled with 10 year old English schoolboys.

Plus they are somehow stuffing entire Philips radios into those English Nano Clones. I'm guess its just a chip made by Philips, which no doubt my Nano clone also has. It just doesn't have a seller that went to the trouble to inform people of the name of the chip, call it a "Philips Radio", and put the Philips logo right into the eBay listing page photo. Which just might confuse people into thinking the MP4 player is made by Philips. When we all know Philips is in Denmark, and these players are made in England.

Even has the cheek to put a pic of a 1GB Samsung chip, in the listing for a 2GB player. Mind you, that might be the only legit thing about this guy's ad. It could have a configuration of two 1GB Samsung chips, back to back.

Just to let you know I spotted a listing for a 2GB Nano Clone the listing looked very impressive to say the least, as I was scrolling through all the info on this player I noticed that the seller had actually put a picture of the Samsung chip into his advert. I thought well maybe we have got some honest sellers about because surely no one would put a pic of a 1GB chip on an advert for a 2GB player. Well he did and even after me sending him a message about it, it is still there. He even replied to my message yesterday

this is his reply:

Thanks for that, I didnt notice that before!
Regards
SNS
thanking me for spotting it

The seller boasts that he has 100% pos feedback and is a trusted power seller and that he don't buy his players from HK, they are specialy made for his company & Item location is London, Lol. These people have got some back bone.

Anyway one of his messages arrived in my inbox at 2.50am, now tell me he's not in HK.

Sellers name: shinynewstuff

Copy & paste The link below to take you to his listing.
