Re: 146 eBay traders reported as selling hacked players.
I have signed the petition and urged everyone I know to do the same wether they were scammed or not. Thanks to Robjones from these forums and MRMUGGA on eBay I was alerted before I made a bid and lost my money.
I worked in Hong Kong for an electronics company and the stuff that is faulty, corrupted or old is thrown away. (Old stock items are thrown out to make way for new lines, and often these items have never even reached Europe or US/ Canada at this point, this is how upto date these guys are! An example of this is the box of 500GB Blu Ray Discs that I brought home with me. Yes 500GB not 50!)
Workers take the stuff and sell it through eBay etc and they just hope that they get the old stock instead of faulty goods to make an extra bit cash with. People see the item working but don't realise that the capacity is short or that the memory contains a virus etc. They just think they are getting a great deal. eBay knows all about this and yet they do nothing to stop it.
I urge you to give this a mention to everyone you know and to promote this petition as I will be doing on my own website, goneglobal.co.uk
Better to pay extra and get reputable goods.
