Re: 146 eBay traders reported as selling hacked players.
I bought a 2GB player of power_player88. Turned out to be a hacked 1GB.
I filed a complaint with pay-pal this is a copy of the last message I left :
I have been sent a player on which the memory has been hacked. Memory hacking is a process used to make a flash disk appear to have a larger capacity than it really has and it cannot be done not accidently. The item was clearly described as a 2 GB player. This capacity is also marked on the box and on the player itself so it cannot be a case of the wrong item being sent in error. Once properly formatted it is in only a 1GB To knowingly sell such an item would constitute fraud. The seller has several negative feedbacks for selling other such hacked devices. I want a full refund for my purchase. I will be happy to return the item at the seller's expense. It will cost €7.50 to send it registered post to Hong Kong but the seller has refused to pay for this and will not offer a refund until I return the item. Once a full refund plus an additional 7.50 euro has been deposited into my PayPal account I will gladly return the Item.
Well Pay-pal has decided in my favour but to get my money back I myst first return the player at my own ecpecse and provide tracking details.
Needless no say I am disgusted. I'm down an extra €7.50 and doubtful as to if or when I will get my refund.
