Hi friend

Thanks for your reply

I am afraid we will only be able to refund you 40% of the amount you paid for the item

You can see we sell the item,we need to pay for the postage and ebay listing fee and then most expensive the cost of the item itself

We actually don’t make any profits by doing the transaction with you which you can check from the winning price

I know some problems is difficult to avoid,but your bid is effective on ebay and we must be responsible for you

So we dicide to provide you resolution on the problem

I really want to help you as much as i can, but you know i really can’t afford any price much higher than the 40% of the item amount

I hope you can understand

All the best

Kin

What Is It That eBay Sellers of Fake Flash Devices Using Private Auctions Just Don’t Understand?

It is no secret that eBay is NOT the place to buy flash devices such as usb flash drives, memory cards or MP Players. There are genuine sellers of these items on eBay but they are few and hard to find -buried under the cheap and not so cheap fake flash heap. The traffic in counterfeit and fake (flash capacity) has been around for a long time on eBay, old eBay members say it dates back to 2003 but most internet evidence starts appearing in 2005.

eBay Fake Flash sellers come and go. The most recent trend is to use Private Auctions so that there is no evidence of what was purchased. This is against the intent eBay had for the use of such listing. Like other fake flash sellers they do get found out. But these sellers add to their crimes when they are caught by a member. SOSFakeFlash has seen this repeatedly in eight months of investigating.

Seeing it is believing it. Here is one of the most obvious and glaring examples.
