The item was advertised to the USA market so I expected at least an incompatible power adapter. USB cable was supplied and of course the cheap headphones. It works well although its a cheap build. For $20 USD which is around £15 sterling then I am happy to keep it. Supplier has okay feedback with the exception of these mp3 players which is dreadful, which I was aware of. Price was competative for the UK market.

If the trader had advertised with an honest description i.e. all of the flaws that you described, would you still have bought it? "Supplier has okay feedback"?? Perhaps this "okay feedback" was left by people who don't know that they've been duped or who refuse to admit when they have. The acceptance of this kind of scam as 'expected' means that cynicism has definitely become the norm, and fishing for an easy mark has become even easier for the conmen, when the fish appear to be only too eager to jump on the hook!
