blown-z on eBay sells FAKE HACKED UNITS.

1GB = 512MB
2GB = 1GB

Your unit has 50% of the advertised ram. Test unit past 50% of storage to see for yourself. Report this seller to eBay and file dispute with PayPal before it is too late to stop him from scamming others.

Are there any suppliers (on ebay) that actually sell a legitimate 4GB unit. As i'm after a 4GB unit pretty much only. Not interested in anything smaller.
If so can the supplier name be supplied.
So far ive purchased 2 x 4GB units. one turned out to be 1GB and the other became dead before I had a chance to tell.
Cheers

zacspeed,
These players support a maximum of 2GB nand flash memory so stay away from 4GB and up chiPods.

If you want a true 4GB player you need to look at the more expensive ones like the Meizu M6 (4GB approx $199.00 USD) or the Teclast T29 (4GB approx $149.00 USD).

You might also consider the Sandisk Sansa e250 to e280 players if you want to get something that is legitimate and fairly priced. It comes in various capacities as follows: Sansa e250 is 2 GB, e260 is 4 GB, e270 is 6 GB and the e280 is 8 GB. All are flash memory based and allow for expansion via a microSD card slot. The battery is apparently removable and replaceable. The players are available with product reviews posted (for what they're worth) at Tigerdirect.com and Futureshop.ca and should be widely available elsewhere as they are Sandisk products.

PayPal Dispute Resolution is a joke. They expected me to pay shipping costs to return my player to Buy.Mall! and only recieve less than half of what I paid in total. What a load of bullsh*t!

Hi

I am a newbie to this site and the reason I joined was that I too bought c*** players from unscrupulous eBay sellers (3 to be precise, they were for gifts for family members). They were all from different sellers (as they all wanted different kinds of players!).

One of them I only managed to squeeze an £8 refund from, the other told me to return it for a full refund - minus the £6 P&P it cost me to return - and now they have filed an 'Unpaid Item Complaint' against me, which I have appealed against (3 times now) and provided proof of the original payment PLUS a tracking number for the returned item AND eBAY ARE DOING SWEET FA TO HELP ME!!). It seems that eBay only want to help the sellers who pay the fees and NOT innocent buyers.

I also have an 'Unpaid Item Strike' against me that they will not remove because I refused to send a cheque for am iPod Nano that didn't exist (they knew it didn't exist because a large number of buyers were scammed by this person and eBay closed his account down - yet they still wouldn't remove the strike!! I asked them if they wanted me to send my money to a con-man and lose it, but they ignored me. I have appealed for them to remove this strike 10 times now - just for nuisance value!!)

Oh, yes I forgot the 3rd one - the seller went out of business before I coukd even complain to ebay about that one!

Sorry to drone on, but this is the only release I have for my fury - eBAY WON'T LISTEN!!!!


PPS Also, PayPal is no guarantee either - as I found out to my cost - I won a refund through them but was told by PayPal that, "the seller has no funds in their account so we are uable to refund you" - yet they keep saying that the "safest way to pay is through PayPal" - YEAH RIGHT!

Can't your CC company do something? Here (Netherlands) we can claim our money back up to 45 days after the withdrawl.

[hazel7797]

No, I'm afraid not. When I tried to claim the money back from them they said that I needed to try to retrieve the money again from PayPal.

[xnetbug]

I feel so dumb.
I bought from buy.mall yesterday and only after that, i found about this forums and read about all the scam. grrrr, i bought a 4gb unit, hopefully it is at least 2gb!
Is there anyway i can recover my money immediately or do i have to wait for the damn thing to arrive and make a complain in ebay?
that bastard should be impaled, dishonest people make me so furious :evil:

[hazel7797]

No need to feel dumb, all of us on here seems to have fallen prey - I too only found this forum AFTER I had bought THREE of the damned things!! ops:
I am afraid I can give you no glimmer of hope re: eBay, they really don't give a flying fig - I just keep bombarding them with e-mails and details of transactions - and they go on ignoring me!!!!

Oh! and I don't like to be the bringer of bad news, but one of the 4GB players I bought is only 1GB - that is in dispute also.

I really do hope that you are one of the lucky ones - I personally will NEVER buy one of these players from eBay ever again, I'd rather pay more and be sure that I am getting what I pay for - GOOD LUCK!! :!:
