eBay Victims Conclusions On Fake Flash USB Pendrives Drives Sold On eBay

Victims of fake mp players, usb flash drives and memory cards purchased on eBay learn a very hard and disturbing lesson. Not only do they lose money, they lose data. eBay members also learn the chilling truth about “buyer experience improvements” on eBay and on “Buyer Protection” offered by PayPal. Many leave eBay. Many never see a refund as PayPal wears them down with a game of email round robins, the stop watch ticking against the eBayer with time limits for claims.

One ebay member has something he would like to share with you. We are interested in your opinions.

lazy-juicy Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert – Hong Kong

lazy-juicy is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives. Based in Hong Kong lazy-juicy, is not lazy when it comes to selling fake flash usb drives. lazy-juicy offered 18 different models for sale. The classification and photos for the listings have an errie similarity to the now defunct seller tradingcameller. You will be able to compare the drives in the next edition of the master guide.

The sizes sold range from 512MB to 64GB. If you bought from this seller you are at risk of data loss.

There are some strange goings on with eBay Seller lazy-juicy. In one example this seller offered two Kingston DataTraveler usb drives. While the 512MB could be forgiven as grabbing any old stock picture to show the drive, the 32GB can not. Will the real purple stand up, in Kingston’s colour coding? The purple is a 4GB drive. Not 512MB and most certainly not 32GB. We couldn’t find a 512MB DataTraveler at Kingston. They did exist, one in blue and one in silver, long ago.

Note lazy-juicy was previously known under the id of itembase

The 32GB is of course a confirmed counterfeit on file. And we have another model as well.

supersellercn88 will just not give up his fake flash wares. eBay also is doing it’s best to hide this sellers negative and neurtal’s score. Try as they might – SOSFakeFlash will not let them get away with it.

supersellercn88 is also blackmailing eBayers – this is unforgivable. As a result this seller earns the classification of devious.

eBayers are no longer taking behavior like this lying down! See: http://myworld.ebay.com/ccso103swife

The email received by supersellercn88 has been posted under business information. eBay prefers sellers, not buyers. They appear to be as addicted to fake flash profits as the sellers. If the listings have been going down for fake flash devices it is BECAUSE OF ALL THE HARD WORK EBAY MEMBERS have put in to start cleaning up the mess since the end of April 2008!

So what do we have on file currently for supersellercn88?

leadingstore Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert – China – Don Of Fake Flash In The Orient Clings To His Last Remaining eBay Id

leadingstore is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Flash USB drives, Memory Cards and MP Players. Based in China leadingstore is skilled in fake flash selling. SOSFakeFlash Published an alert on this seller on October 30th, 2008 Alert – leadingstore – Ebay Fake Flash Seller

At that time this seller had only been investigated for fake usb flash drives. As with most powersellers who engage in selling fake flash devices, leadingstore took a holiday when things heated up and then just crawl back to sell more. The case of leadingstore is just one more example of how ineffective eBay is in challenging and removing such sellers – permanently.

Let’s face it, from our observations over the months there is only one conclusion – fake flash powersellers rule eBay, not the other way around.

Small wonder there have been so many victims over so many years. Most deeply buried in eBay’s databases and of course tracks wiped clean on the internet. Well, not quiet.

• Would you like to see the current collection of fakes sold by leadingstore?
• Do you know who the master is behind the leadingstore id on eBay?
• Do you want to understand the problem of fake flash on eBay and how the FrankenFlash Project and these websites came to be?
