Maybe add

eBay My World - supernova9106

not had a reply from him either and still waiting on a delivery of the touch screen one which I almost sure will be a fake memory job

I recommend we go to these sellers listings of know suspect items and click on the "Report Item" flag and that way ebay will get some idea that they may have a big big problem here!

The category to chose is "Fraudulent Listing" and chose the sub option that you "didn't bid" and enter a brief description, eg "Seller claims device is 16Gb whereas there is proof its 4Gb" and so on

May work

mp4 player capacity only 2GB instead of 8GB (hacked of course)

Hello, I'm new to this. I bought a "32gb touch screen" etc etc. Looked Ok when it arrived, Vista and XP said it was 32gb (how little I know). After loading about 80 music files I started getting format errors and 'File not exist'. I spent weeks, deleting, reformatting, adding files, trying different video convert programs, screen settings, codecs etc etc. Eventually I found this website (mympx.org) and tools to evaulate the true memory of my player. It turns out I have about 3.8Gb not 32Gb. As soon as I load more than 3.8 Gb it all goes pear shaped. I contacted the seller and he gave me a 50% refund but I've wasted so much of my time, thinking it was me being stupid with the video settings or something. Anyway, as a newbie to complaning to ebay or paypal, (never had a problem with ebay before) what do you all suggest I do?. Go for a full refund? or take it as a lesson learned?. It's time these sellers were STOPPED from advertising these things. Unfortunately I also bought a 16Gb (different seller) for my wife and when it arrived dead I sent it back to China. I don't know if I'll get any sort of refund or even a response. Can Ebay or Paypal sort this for me if I don't?? Good luck to all of you with your bad purchases.

I think ebay should put a health warning on ALL these types of listings, something like "MAY CONTAIN FAKE FLASH MEMORY DEVICES: STATED CAPACITY MAY BE A GROSS EXAGGERATION - ALWAYS TEST MEMORY ON RECEIPT - ALWAYS LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK IF MEMORY IS NOT AS STATED"

On the subject of claims ebay says:-

Can you add goldseller2011. Sold an 8G unit but when I tried to copy over 2G it completly killed it. Opend up the unit and it had a 2G samsung chip (K9AG08U0D). Have added it to the pettition already.


For info Auction link is

8GB LCD Mp3 Player Mini Metal Clip Mp3 FM Radio Black - eBay, iPod MP3 Players, Electronics. (end time 08-Jun-10 00:57:36 AEST)


Ok gave up waiting. posted neg feedback, contacted ebay, posted a dispute with paypal, posted a complain with ic3 and have started contacting the people from his feedback list that purchased the same unit. See how much of a headache that gives him.

Has anyone gotten one of these units.
LECTEUR MP3 MP4 8GO 8GB ECRAN TACTILE 2,8 FM DV Caméra - eBay, Lecteurs MP3, Multimédia, Image, TV, Son. (end time 04-Jun-10 05:47:00 AEST)
from the above posts I suspect that when it arives I'll find it is not really 8G and after my last experiance I really want to know before I kill the unit like I did with the last one. I wish I had found this site before buying these two players

EDIT - Well the unit has arived and so far I am plesantly supprised. Tested about 4.05gb out of the 8g and no errors or problems. testing the rest now.

EDIT 2 - Ok I an surprised, the unit passed all tests and realy is an 8g unit. I would recommend the seller, just wish the first guy was as good.
