eBay Fraud – A Powerseller eBay Can Not Stop From Harming Buyers Currently Known as intertrade-connection
Posted by KittyFireFlash on August 1, 2009
Powerseller ids with high feedback scores do not have to follow eBay rules. They are immune and do as they please. intertrade-connection has a feedback score of over 27,000. Very skilled at getting victims of fake usb flash drives, memory cards and mp players to change their feedback. How long have eBay members tried to STOP this seller from harming others? 13 months. The first documented fake was in June, 2008!
How is intertrade-connection getting away with massive fraud?
1) Private Auctions
2) Exceptionally High eBay Feedback score
and of course changing his id name to evade detection. intertrade-connection was previously known as i.c.distribution and before that, i.c.distribution and earlier as i.c_electronics. Three id changes in 13 months? Exactly what kind of seller would do this? An honest one? Not likely. Our database is designed to track this kind of evasion.
intertrade-connection is very much aware of the FrankenFlash Project and SOSFakeFlash. That is why he changed to private auctions, to bury the fraudulent activity even deeper.
You would think that eBay would DO SOMETHING! They can’t.
intertrade-connection knows this and will continue to sell items with false memory capacity, so harmful to data.
You would think that if ebay was so powerless to act against the sellers score, they would at least prevent the seller from using private auctions to level the playing field and allow eBay members to do their dirty work and bring the seller down with negative feedback. eBay won’t. They need intertrade-connection’s fee’s. eBay continues to lose members and it is no secret as to why.
Exactly what kind of a powerseller has over 270 negative feedback’s in 6 months?

There are lot of games being played by intertrade-connection.
Private Auctions or not, eBay victims are starting to leave negative feedback and they are leaving clues about the items they purchased. intertrade-connection might try to change his id again, but the negative feedback has to remain, otherwise he must surrender his high score and that is one thing intertrade-connection is not prepared to do.
If eBay refuses to do anything about fraudulent activities especially against this long term offender, it is up to you. Each negative is a voice and a permanent testimony. Contact buyers who bought any eBay item that shows “private” – warn them. If you found out too late, you can still leave follow up feedback telling the truth.
13 months ago this seller got away with it, almost no negatives. People did not understand what was going on. That is changing. SOSFakeFlash is seeing buyers fighting back with their feedback vote. You can too!
Background:
- intertrade-connection aka i.c.distribution aka i.c_electronics Ebay Fake Flash Seller High Alert – Devious Id Change
- Continues to Fraud! intertrade-connection aka i.c.distribution aka i.c_electronics eBay is this sellers Playground! eBay Bows To Fraudsters For The Sake Of Profit!
If you are a victim of intertrade-connection you have a choice to make.
1) Allow this powerseller id to continue to fraud – do nothing
2) Say NO! Fight back
If you don’t mind losing your data and your money, option one is the best choice.
If you don’t like what happened to you, you must fight back. 
This is a dangerous seller and a very old one. The FrankenFlash Project can not do all the work for you. We need the army of victims to take down the nasty powersellers. Only when victims join together do these nasty sellers get shut down. The most famous example of what ebayers can do is seller 3totrade. 113 fakes recorded. How did that happen? It happened when eBayers decided to contact other eBayers and warn them. It grew. People tested and contacted others.
In the case of intertrade-connection it is now more difficult since the seller hides behind private auctions. It is not a problem, any feedback that shows “private” for an ebay item number is one thing – Fake Flash! intertrade-connection has made it easy for you. “Private” will lead you to a victim! eBay only allows you to send 5 messages a day, so you need other victims to join in. Get them to report to us at SOSFakeFlash using the Report A Fake Tab
We will take care of the rest and enter the data. You must be curious on the “How”, that we will not reveal. You would be surprised to learn who is unhappy about this terrible problem
Make sure to leave the calling card of “SOSFakeFlash” and “H2testw” in feedback to help others. If you left positive feedback, do a followup feedback to tell the truth! Let people know what you bought from this nasty fraudster!

I purchased a 16gb touchscreen mp4 player of Intertrade connection and the unit did have the fake flash memory in it, only 2gb works, although works fine with a 8gb memory card i got for it separately not off ebay. I’m getting a full refund for the unit and being able to keep it after I raised a dispute in paypal over the item saying that the flash memory is deliberately faulty and referanced SOSfakeflash and this websites link saying I would not stand to be scammed by them and that the sale breached Australian consumer laws of false advertising of 16gb when on 2gb works and the unit was not fit for its intended purpose. I demanded the full refund and it seems I have got it very easily. Note I have not left feedback yet ive held off until i receive my refund, and will leave negative feedback once i get it anyways. They refused to admit to the scam but blamed not QC checking it properly which is a load of bs but meh im getting my refund im happy enough with a free mp4 player.

Hi Boo
I wouldn’t say you got it free. Consider all the aggrevation you were put through and the time involved to discover you got a fake. Multiply that by your hourly rate…
Also all the 16GB MP Players are turning out to be only 2GB. Let’s face it, how many people are interested in a 2GB MP Player these days. The chips are being recycled and used in these MP Players – add a little clever reprogramming and there is a lot of money to be made.
This seller is a bad one on eBay and a very old timer. He is on this month’s hot list: https://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2009/08/03/august-2009-ebay-fake-flash-seller-hot-list/
Do leave your appreciation for him in feedback with the details. As he uses private auctions this is so important. The opphys a QC mistake is one of the most famous excuses these sellers use. A lot of people actually fall for it. Bad, as it just leads to more and more people landing in the sellers net.
Let’s see if you actually get the refund, they will try to stall you. Check your claim days and becareful. They are skilled and slippery. intertrade-connection aka i.c.distribution aka i.c_electronics is old, accomplished, managing to stay in the fake flash business.
Keep everyone updated with your progress on this article. Using this site as a reference is helpful for a lot of people. We don’t make idle claims – SOSFakeFlash is a place where victims tell their experience for everyone around the world to read.

Yup got the refund today no issues, fast and hassle free. Seems IC is more willing to lose the mp3 player and just ask for positive feedback in return for the refund. I haven’t given him positive feedback and don’t intend too even after getting the full refund as I wont support the scam with positive feedback. So essentially I’ve scammed the scammer, rather satisfying really.
Didn’t take that long to figure out it was a fake, an hour tops actually, although it was a pain in the ass when I realized. From other feedback it sounds like getting the refund is pretty easy its intended to keep people happy enough to leave more positive feedback to add to his power seller score. Although the downside is that they must be making enough money off the people they do rip off.
PS: here’s the nice little bit of negative feedback i left “Google:SOSFakeFlash any mp3/flash memory devices have fake memory.This is a SCAM”
