The official way to get out of a deal is to not pay.

Might help if you posted a link of the ad.

it depends on how much you bid. as much as price of a true 2GB?

thank you for all your help but to tell you the truth i didnt see these replies before I took action and not payed. Not only that but I sent them three emails stating that I will not because of the underlying reason that their players are fake and that I have seen many complaints about them. This morning when I went into my ebay account I recieved a mutual agreement from them that their was no reason to pay their fore i am free from buying their crapy player. I like to thank everyone who try to inform pple about this trickery that is going on in ebay. and also thanks for all your replies.

Also their are sellers who say that their 4 gig 2 inch players are the real thing and I havent seen their names on the blacklist. Should I feel save about buying thier products. Also checked their feedback and their was nothing on about hacked players.

I ask you where you lived, because the seller his reason for not sending it to you was that you live in a country from his "black list". Canada is not in his blacklist, that proofs he is a liar and not trustfull. You made the right decision not to pay for the auction.

I also bought a similar "4 gig" Two inchGlacier-alike from Coolstuff_Online, and it turned out to be a hacked TWO gig unit. When I complained they tried fobbing me off with rubbish about how one of the chips might have fallen out/worked loose. I pointed out that they're already well-known as a seller of hacked players. They offered me a 1/3 refund... which I accepted. They haven't given me the refund, and they don't reply to emails. Ebay is completely uninterested in intervening (surprise surprise!) You got lucky!
