Re: i may have bought a fake player from coolstuff_onlinesto

Wait for payment to have arrived - they can't cancel - then accept the terms of whatever deal you've made with them. You didn't previously make it clear that they actually seemed to be paying up! My...

My experience of CoolStuff Online is that they make offers... and then ignore you (and "forget" that they made the officer.) My advice is don't withdraw from the dispute until the promised refund is...

Note that "Coolstuff Online" now seems to be trading under several other names as well, including (and this one has just started) "ebox.store". Same crooks... different name!

They also seem to be trading as "ebox.store" - same wording as the "CoolStuff" adverts, and it's a remarkable coincidence that I'm banned from ebox store's auctions after entering a dispute with...

Anyone out there a lawyer or know about money laundering?

Adverting and selling a 2 Gigabyte player as containing 4 Gigabytes of RAM is clearly fraudulent - and as such it's a criminal activity. Most of the transactions regarding MP4 Players INSIST on using...

Re: Maybe it's really a "communication" problem?!
