Default Re: Anybody who personally bought a hacked player from blown

Blown-z is still looking at a suspension from eBay from the incredibly vague wording on the MP4 auctions. The auction titles are listed as "4Gb" as opposed to "4GB", never mind the fact that 99% of buyers will not recognize that there's a major difference between the two, and blown-z is completely aware of this. The need for him to list the title in gigabits is as necessary as someone listing the size of a pair of shoes on eBay in centimeters instead of inches. Its unecessary, and its a blatantly deceptive move by blown-z.

At the VERY BOTTOM of the auction, there's a blurb about how the MP4 player memory is listed in gigabits, and how to convert it in your head. If this guy wasn't a shady seller, he would just put the actual storage size IN PLAIN SIGHT in megs or in gigs, so people would immediately know what they were getting (put 512mb of storage at the top of the auction).

If he was just trying to make sure his auctions showed up in searches for a "4GB Player", he could just title it "512 Mb Player not 4GB". That in itself is misleading for searches, but at least people would immediately know they aren't getting 4 gigs of memory. I'm not moved by attempts to refund the people that are threatening to report him (that's self preservation, not having a loving heart). For every one person refunded, there seems to be 50 more that won't get what they expected, and he knows this, otherwise his titles and descriptions wouldn't be so vague and misleading. If he doesn't revise the listings, eBay will almost certainly shut his account down. eBay isn't trying to get sucked into a lawsuit over deceptive sales tactics.
