fatboy5354 appears to be a scamster. His 2GB priced at 24.99 & 4GB at 34.99 are not possible if he has a genuine product.
Undercutting UXCELL is no problem. UXCELL has fat margins.. a lot of people could undercut them.

Hey,
I don't realy think that $30 for 2gb player is too much. I've got a quotation from china manufacturer with also 2gb and 1,8" player for $32,5 (33,5 for sample) (it's different but nice and new design too). So if he buy a lot from there, he could get good price.
I don't want to say now, that he is not an ebay scammer.
I bought an mp4 2gb player from him, and will let You know if he's realy 2gb or not. Believe me or not but if he is a scammer i will be first person who will give him negative feedback with 'nice' description And of course send You some info on phorum what is going on.

Best regards,
Martin

I think HubbleMart's point was that $30 for a 2gb player is too >little<. Or rather, $25 in the case of FATBOY5354. You just mentioned that it costs you $32.50 lowest for wholesale cost in bulk. That's still $7.50 more than what FATBOY5434 is selling the 2nd gen Nano clones at, and he's only charging $5 for shipping worldwide, and that's "Special Expedited Flat Rate". I think it comes with insurance and a member of the Royal Guard, to ensure your package is well protected. The reason I didn't pay for my purchase from Fatboy/Scamboy is because of the old adage "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Truthfully, I shouldn't have even placed a bid on the damn thing, but victim of my own greed, I "wanted to believe"... Never be too hungry for a deal!

rakashmiri,

I have a 'theory'.

If an eBay seller has a small feedback rating, it tells me that they might be a scammer who got caught out and closed their account and opened up a new one.

If you look at him, here is an eBay seller that only has a 42 rating, but yet has over ONE THOUSAND items listed on eBay!! Hum.... sounds abit fishy if you ask me.

I would think being a new eBay seller, you might want to start off small first but listing over a thousand items just seems quite abit much for a 'new' seller.

Yeah, I mentioned this about Tamainc/Fatboy5434 some time ago in another message. It's not a theory, its a fact! Its common for Chinese sellers of MP4 players (other stuff too) to both open up multiple accounts at the same time, and open up new accounts when their old records are too "dirty". I bid on Tamainc's mp4 when "she" had 0 feedback. Then I noticed this seller had like over 750 items for sale! One of "her" buyers thought the seller was new and "deserved a chance". Ha!

The thing that should give people pause, besides the 750 items, is the ad itself. Someone new to eBay usually doesn't do a slick ad on the first go, like they know how it all works and everything. Tamainc/Fatboy both had 0 feedback not too long ago, and both (same person obviously) "solicited" feedback from buyers who had yet to receive their items. I dont know if thats against eBay rules but it ought to be, because it helps scammers. Anyway, this seller was not new to eBay! Their MO (opening up accounts under different names, selling under US/UK/AU currencies) is 100% slick Hong Kong eBay MP4 seller/scammer MO. (Not to say all HK sellers selling the same items in several currencies are all scammers but...).
