Hi there tandesmom!
Ah, the same old story just keeps coming up over and over again...
I had the same prob - he emailed and said he sent it the day after I paid. Waited two weeks, still got nothing. I emailed again, and asked where the hell it was. He told me that there was a problem in manufacture (so at very least he's selling products he doesn't actually have), and he had just sent it out. Gave me a tracking number too...Kept checking the site, and it finally registered in the HK mail system on the 29th - so the second time he said he sent it, he actually didn't...I waited like a little over 2.5 weeks for him to send the item! Even then took a while to get here.
He STILL hasn't replied to my emails (I sent TWO yesterday) insisting on a generous partial refund...and I know he's been online (and on ebay) cos he keeps leaving feedback for people - and it's customised feedback, not an automated feedback thing...he's bloody ignoring me! I just sent him another email, telling him that I DO NOT appreciate being ignored and he needs to get in contact with me asap or I'm gonna file a dispute...

When you get the player, as you yourself said, it is undoubtedly going to be a mere 2GB, this is where I went:

You know what really upsets me about this guys fraudulent activity? It's that all these people get their items, and don't check the out "properly", and leave him positive feedback...I've spoken to a few of them, who insist that their players are actually 4GB - but they've only checked the properties thing on their computer - of course it's gonna say it's 4 - it's HACKED!!!
Good luck with it
P.S. I just had a look at his most recent feedback - have you noticed how many feedback retractions he's had??? 218!!! I've heard from a couple of people that they leave neg or neut feedback, and he refuses to give them any part refund, unless they first get the bad feedback removed...I'm pretty sure this is against ebay policy...That's why I haven't left any feedback yet - waiting to get refund, then he's gonna incurr the full velocity of my greek wrath..... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
P.P.S. Quoting Brew Swilis' post: "He told me that I seem to be smart, and should know that I can't buy a real 4GB player for $46. He told me that if I wanted a real 4GB player, I would have to send him $58." Now THAT is against ebay policy - good evidence against him if you were going to file a dispute or report him - it shows that he KNOWS FULL-WELL that the players he advertises as 4GB are not so - he charges more for the 'real'4GB....That's really sucky...
