http://stores.ebay.com/iStore-Electronics aka MENSAN666 sells 4gigabyte players that are 1 GB, items located in China, advertises as Britain located. Very offensive comments to bad feedback.

I managed to double the refund they offered and am expecting 10GBP from them. Hopefully before Christmas 2007. I am not closing my dispute until I see that money.

I am wondering what to put on his feedback....

Thank you all for your help.

Update. I have reason to believe:
The scam has been reported to BBC watchdog.
Co-incidentally (?)
e-britain is not currently offering any items for sale and has set feedback to private.
Other questionable MP$ sellers still plying for trade, eg
mp3_ex
factory2you
hkgamez
keistore
sevenmp4
... (negatives indicating incorrect memory size)

Oh
I'm currently in dispute (escalated) with e-britain.
Had the feeling he/she wouldnt pay the agreed compensation so...
Let's see if paypal meets up to their part of this bargain and helps me out. If not, I know what to tell people who ask's about using eBay/paypal in the future...

I already know what to tell others of Ebay and Paypal.....

They both used to be good... now, nothing but problems it seems.
My last 6 of 7 transactions have been problems. Neither Ebay or Paypal helps out.

Excellent news.

I left my feedback for e-britain short and sweet, saying that the info on the auction is wrong, and I had to open a dispute over it. I only left him neutral tho, since he was willing to and quite swiftly doubled the amount of the partial refund - which has been passed onto very deserved hands.

yep E-Britain has tricked me... luckly while i was searching for a firmware upgrade i came across the scam thing i just recieved my product today and I have threatened him so far by email.. just waiting for a reply.. anyway i know this has nothing to do with this but you see there is this koooll firmware upgrade it has tha menus justtt like an ipod could i upgrade the fake one to this or do i have to put another chip inside and patch it?


Oh yeh this is my firmware.. I havent done that tuturiol to fix my fake player to a 1gb but am a little confused..

Heres my firmware and stuff
1.5"
act2097_s72_1

9.0.50

I dont understand why when I search this forum its all about 3.5.0... I dont understand this Action thing plus all I want is an Ipod Nano Theme a real one but I dont know anything about it.. like I am a little confused with the 3.5.0 thing

AmNite, best of luck - I managed to get a partial refund from him, so I hope you'll get at least that. But IMHO get on with starting a Dispute through PayPal as soon as possible.

Secondly, please could you upload your firmware? I could do with the same one that you have, as I also have a 1GB i-pod clone from e-britain, and have messed up mine in the process of getting the REAL amount of memory that has been fitted on it.... d'oh, yeah. I don't mind that dodgy floral theme - I just want the darn thing to work again so I have something to use in the gym, and on my way to work!
Please help!!

Re: The Blacklist
 

I would.. but I heard there is no software yet to extract the latest firmwares?

AmNite, No way to theme you player at the moment, once the new firmware extraction tool is released for the 9.0.50 and 9.0.48 versions then you may be able to do an iPod mod on your firmware.

Actions is the company that manufactures the cpu chips for most of these players. The 3.5.XX series firmware is for players using the ATJ2085 version chip. Your player has a newer chip version either the ATJ2091- to -ATJ2097, these use the 9.0.XX series firmware which is very different.
