Ians, i would like to point out that i have suspected the controller chip scam is an inside job for a while. I have tried to bring this to the attention of several large news media groups with no success. This is an indescribable abortion of justice on eBay's part and that of the US customs agency. I have done research into how many of these hacked devices are sold and the numbers are astonishing. There is a nonstop flow of hacked mp4 players rolling out of eBay, amazon, and wholesale companies like DHgate and MadeInChina. Sometimes the seller doesnt know about the hack and sometimes they do. I find that it is best to settle with a refund proportionate to the amount of memory you received based on what you paid for. Normally 75%. Then report the seller to SOSfakeflash and anyone else who will listen. I would not suggest leaving bad feedback after receiving a refund because this may anger the seller or eBay into giving you repercussions in various ways.
