This seller needs to be stopped. His buyers warned! If you have any free time please consider:
1. Contact eBayers who left positive feedback. Any feedback that shows “Private” as an item number is a fake flash item. Randomly choose a date in the last 25 days. Older is better as these victims have little time left to test and file a dispute.
2. If you are a victim of this seller, please report any current listings for the item you purchased. Go to the bottom of the listing page and report it. One listing after another. Also report private auction is being used – this is not in the spirit of what eBay intended for private auctions. digitalting0303 is abusing it. It is obvious why.
Our message for eBay:
digitalting0303 was caught before. You suspended him. You should have kicked him off eBay for good. What did YOU do to warn all the people frauded by him in the Fall of 2008? Did you warn the buyers that their 32GB usb flash drives were fakes – false capacity and dangerous to use? No you did not. You quietly pulled his plug and removed the evidence.
What did he do the moment you released him from eBay fake flash prison – your “suspension”? Return to his old ways. It clearly shows who is in control of eBay. Fraudsters rule! You do not.
Will you quietly “suspend” the seller again? So you can remove his listings and hide the evidence from victims and the global public? Your “cut” in this recent frauding is about 13% of his sales.
Or will you actually do the “right thing for once? Contact his buyers, warn them, refund them! Who matters more? Your profits or the eBay members who allow you to have profit and sales? Losing files and the implications for victims can not be “measured”. Stop listening to your “risk management” team and start acting responsibly. By allowing sellers like digitalting0303 on eBay you are implicated in the selling data poison!
Important Reading:
Don’t forget to leave the calling card of “SOSFakeFlash” and “H2testw” in your feedback to help others. Do not change your feedback to get a refund – you will only create more victims.
