Bad seller: smile_plus168
Receiving this email on the same day your item arrives by post may explain all the positive feedback!
on receiving this email I plugged in the USB cable to my PC and of course saw 2GB, I was cautious enough to wait a day or two, But I can see how the average noob would just leave positive freedback at this point.
"Dear ripprasternode,

Cheeky git is trying to blackmail me to remove my neutral feedback.
"hi,my friend
I'm sorry to open an Unpaid dispute for you on ebay for a mistake ,but i will close off the dispute for you asap once you withdrawal the neutral feedback for me ,ok? coz ebay also count neutral feedback as negitive feedback ,i just wish you can do such a favor to withdrawl it ,once you done it ,pls notice me on ebay resolution central to close off the dispute for you asap ,ok?
Many thx for your cooperation with me !"
Forwarded on his email to Ebay as a dispute of my own. He diserves a negative, but he refunded so I gave him neutral.

sin_of_nature , he probably filed an Unpaid Item Dispute based on you not paying a single cent. There are 2 types of disputes that the seller can chose to open, either unpaid or refund.
Either way, forward whatever evidence (eg paypal receipt) to eBay. Just in case you get a strike. The email you've forwarded to them is good. It's some form of "extortion", and likely the dispute would be closed by ebay soon.

Git just left me a negative because I would not back down. On the upside, i just left another link here on my follow up feedback.
Its nonsense, ebay wont close the dispute even with all the email evidence. They say they can remove the negative but cant close the dispute, only the seller can! What rubbish is that!
Ebay better remove the negative.

sin_of_nature , i wouldn't be too worried about the Unpaid Item Dispute, as the sellers need to open it in order to claim a relisting credit, and as well as the final value credit.
The Unpaid Item Dispute would be closed in approximately 8 days after it is opened, you don't need to do anything, just ignore it.
More info here http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/tp/unp...m-process.html

Re: smile_plus168
Aw crap, I just found this website, and I just purchased an mp4 player of this guy, I did research and this name came up as a good seller, and the unit is an ME2 unit so not the old hacked version, or am I just stupid and found myself incorrect answers? I was like, the dude has over 7000 possitives, he can't be one of those hack cheats, mean while I purchased it last thrusday, he says he ships in 48 hours and only takes paypal, but when I ask him when is it being shipped, he tells me he is waiting for a letter from paypal confirming the payment, not I'm not a complete idiot, and I have used paypal before, and I've never heard of this 'letter' thing. Anyway, I sent him a letter like this today.

Dear smile_plus168,
I am not happy with you as a seller.
Your auction clearly states the following:
Item will be shipped out in ~ 48 hours (on the weekdays - Monday to Friday) or the next business days (on the weekend) after payment received.
I Paid on the 13th of September, at night, so I would give you until at least Tuesday to send it, but it is now THURSDAY. Your auction clearly states that you only accept payments via paypal, and I am not new to paypal, The fund transfer to your paypal account is instant. If you only accept payments from paypal, and you promise to ship within 48 hours, this letter excuse is obviously false, and I wish for this item to be shipped today, or I will lodge a formal complaint with ebay. Either Post the Item, or refund my full purchase so I can buy from somewhere else.
Thank you, I hope this can be resolved today, as I do not wish to leave negative feedback.

I thought if I bought a latest generation ME2 player, that it wouldn't be hacked from what I saw on a youtube.com review video. Mine ended up being a hacked 4GB player that was really 2GB. So yes, the new ME2's can be hacked also. Just make sure you do the reformat detailed on this site, and if it doesn't have the stated memory capacity, ask for a full or partial refund.......if you ever receive it. :| Goog luck, and P.S. I bought mine from a different seller than you. rogerlam628 also sells hacked ME2's.

It's pretty weird, just did a search on smile_plus168 items for auction, and turns out that he now only sells USB thumbdrives, seems to have stopped listing players for the moment.
Looked up on his negative feedbacks, and mostly were because of hacked players and slow shipping.

He is probably using drop shipping or ordering when someone wins an auction. Waiting for a letter from paypal? must be a love letter..
