HAIFTER

I see there is a dramatic change in the listings by haifter too. Was it something we said?

haifter was/is the 10th life, zhongel the 11th. So the question is, How many lives can a fake flash seller have?

Is this cheeky? Does its not demonstrate who rules eBay? Fake Flash sellers rule and eBay is fast asleep, from eating a poisoned fake flash apple? Where is prince charming to wake eBay up! Unfortunately fake flash victims are not inclined toward giving eBay that magic kiss.

If you bought any flash based item from this seller test immediately for true capacity and do not use unless you can confirm you have the advertised capacity. Leave negative feedback immediately if you have a false capacity item. If you left postive, do follow up feedback. Under no circumstances should you revise feedback to get a refund. Contact everyone who left postive feedback for this seller and get them to test!

SOSFakeFlash usually puts the images of fake flash devices the continuation of an article, so has to save on people’s bandwidth. On occasion when we need to make a point we present the items before the continuation. Here are the items zhongel is offering. Comments anyone?
