Hi, you need to format the other one too. It's hacked too. If you do not remove the memory hack, your daughter will have format errors when she tries to play it.
Sellers state the "1GB is recordable capacity" to have an excuse as to why it doesn't hold the full 8GB. There isn no such thing as a player that will hold 8GB of data with only 1GB playable.
File a dispute with Paypal immediately stating the item is not as described. If the seller offers a full refund if you ship the item back at YOUR cost, don't do it. You won't see your money or another player again. I would tell him that you know the players are hacked and that you know he is intentionally selling hacked players. You might be able to get a partial refund.
Don't let him tell you it's your fault for formatting. The only reason sellers do not want you to format is because you will find out the truth.
Unfortunately, eBay continues to allow these sellers to steal from unsuspecting buyers. Be very careful when buying from eBay. Do not buy from sellers who have just started selling mp4 players. Before buying from any seller go to
www.toolhaus.org and type in the seller's eBay ID. It will give you all the negative feedback that the seller has received.
Sorry that you bought hacked players. Just about everyone on this board has gone through the same thing you have. Please sign the Petition to help stop the scammers. It's on the main page.
