eBay Scam Seller golden20090517 Identified As A Member Of Counterfeit Ring Zhonghuanyun (cao you)

A victim observed:

The seller tries actively to get you return the item back to Hong Kong. When I told him there’s no way i’ll do this, he starts begging you by telling the profit is non existent and that he needs to send the card back to his supplier to have it tested. He also offers a partial refund in order for me to keep the card. After that, I decided to escalate the claim to paypal and end all conversation with the seller.

golden20090517 will beg and plead. golden20090517 knows how to talk the western way – he makes little profit and must sent the memory card back for inspection. Believable, except for one thing. golden20090517 has had previous id’s used to fraud: sellasera68258, sfrankish5872, yazmin_yenthe_bay. eBay members fought back and those id’s were suspended and are currently serving their sentence in eBay fake flash prison.

Partial refund is an another tactic fake flash sellers use. Never accept it.
