amazing_collection - doggie_utopia

[Dritermius]

Recently bought a 4gb asian mp3/mp4 player off ebay.

Well, it was only after I bought it and found I couldn't store more then about 900mb worth of files on it that I began to worry. After googling, I found this site and the information about hacked 4gb players. After checking the "true' size of the flash memory, it turns out it's only 1gb.

I sorely wish I had done some research before buying the player...

Anyways, doggie_utopia/amazing_collection is the scammer I bought the player off. It is the same person with 2 different accounts (they sent me and email after I purchased the player from doggie_utopia advertising all the "great" 4gb players on their other account, amazing_collection).

I sent multiple emails to doggie_utopia asking about the 1gb storage size instead of the advertised 4gb, but in days I have received no reply and this person still has many 4gb players listed.

I have now filed a claim with Paypal, hoping to get a refund.

Damn scammers...

Dritermius,

Good luck and hopefully you will get a refund for it.

If you can warn others by placing negative feedback on the seller's account, that would help warn others against buying from doggie_utopia/amazing_collection.

Keep us posted on the result of your refund and what you did.

Perhaps we can all share some templates or sample emails to send to Paypal/eBay to help with the refund.

Unfortunately after I got the mp3 player and found it worked perfectly after using it for a week or so (I hadn't tried loading it past 1gb yet) I left a glowing positive feedback for doggie_utopia.

UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.

After going to the hassle of taking the '4gb' mp3 player to a local computer guy and having it examined, and having him send his findings to paypal, I get this email.

We have concluded our investigation into your Buyer Claim.

Transaction Date: 20 Nov 2006
Transaction Amount: -$60.00 USD
Your Transaction ID: 5J8465911S262323N

Based on PayPal's definition of significantly not-as-described, this claim
does not qualify for a refund.

How the FUCK does a 1gb player being sold as a 4gb one NOT constitute a 'significantly not-as-described' case?!?!!

WOW, that is crazy!

Have you complained to eBay as well about the problem?

Can you redo your feedback and change it to a negative one instead?

doggie_utopia has now closed down her ebay account.

near the end she was getting alot of calls of 'hacked memory' in her feedback, so she has no doubt opened a fresh account to begin scamming again.

I have registered a complain with paypal, asking how the hell i could have lost the dispute when the seller was SO clearly fraudulent.

Dritermius:

You can email paypal directly to this email:

complaint-response@paypal.com

Just make sure you reference the complaint number and tell them why you think this decision is not correct. A little threatening of a lawsuit wouldn't hurt either.

I'm not sure what the Phone number for your country would be, but I would check the website as that is how I got this address after explaining my almost identical response to them over the phone.

Just FYI.

[Dritermius]

They only have a US phone number to call.

I've already filed a complaint through their 'report bad service' link.
