How eBay Sellers Become Victims Of Fake Flash

eBay buyers of fake flash often forget that it is possible for a seller to be a victim.  Some might find this hard to believe but it is true.

Sellers sell what is “hot” – what moves.  USB flash drives are very popular and sell.  In recent months a number of very established eBay sellers with untarnished scores have expanded their product line to include USB Flash drives. New sellers on eBay just starting have chosen to sell USB pendrives too.

Unfortunately many do not know that the drives they have acquired wholesale are fakes. “Yeah, right…”  you might say.

3ToTrade – The Battle Continues

Posted by KittyFireFlash on August 29, 2008

eBayers continue to struggle against this fake flash seller. Paypal continues to support 3ToTrade in demanding the fake drives be returned using the postal system.

As of September 14th  2008, there are 77 drives in the 32 GB models that have been confirmed fake.

Also the seller is asking eBayers to return with a low custom value declaration. DON’T!

It is bad enough that both seller and Paypal are requiring eBayers to risk breaking the law by holding their purchase price at ransom.  It illegal to ship counterfeit items using the Postal System in most countries.  The interpretation varies from country to country.  If you chose to return the drive please declare the true value.  This includes:

  1. Price you paid for the drive in a bid
  2. Price to ship to you
  3. Price to register with a tracking number
  4. Price to insure the package
  5. Price to post

Also please ensure to declare for the item in easy to read print:

Return of counterfeit merchandise to eBay Seller for Refund by order of PayPay.

This will help to alert the postal authorities in China that this seller is dealing in counterfeit merchandise and committing fraud. Also, there is no reason to under declare the value of the drive and all your costs. Tell the truth.
