Bribery and Corruption

[nscripta]

I have recently purchased a 4GB (well it said that capacity on the advert! ) from an eBay trader.
Using the excellent information on this site I have removed the memory hack... it is a 2GB model (not as bad as some hacked units judging by the forums)
Prior to carrying out the memory hack removal I was having issues with the player. After reading the forums I copied 3.5GB of data to it, when I then tried to view this data my computer displayed various errors. (Viewing the properties for one of the folders I copied, Windows XP reported the size as 12GB!!)

This is feedback I left for the eBay trader. flashdatong

Item received was a hacked 2GB player in minimal packaging, sent from Hong Kong!

This is the response.

I am really so sorry the item can't satisfy you 100%,if you sure the item not a real one,please return to me,if you dont want to me,i can give you some gift or partial refund.hope you can withdraw the feedback for me,lookinf forward to your early reply.

I have opened the player and it has the hynix 2GB chip installed.
As it is just about worth what I paid for it (£19.50) I will be keeping it.

What do you think I should do now?

nscripta , get a partial refund and after you've got it, refuse to retract the negative feedback.

I would agree with lattesurf.

Can you tell us who the seller is?

Make sure it's mentioned in the [BAD SELLERS] section of the forum so others will know.

The ebay seller is mentioned in the original post.

Their username is "FLASHDATONG"

I will add to the 'BAD SELLERS' section.
