minstore88 Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert Devious – China

minstore88 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Memory Cards. Based in China minstore88 uses private auctions. Current estimates are over 500+ sold.

Buyer’s experience: The card appears exactly as shown in the eBay photo and has a hologram logo sticker on the back with “QCB.” The SD card arrived in an unsealed plastic SD holder. After winning the auction, I see that the Seller has made both the Buyer’s and Seller’s eBay Feedback “Private” and from what I see now, that’s oftentimes an indication that the Seller (even this one with 99.8% positives and an eBay PowerSeller) is selling defective or even fake memory cards. I have asked the seller for a refund but not heard back. I will pursue this through PayPal if needed.

Fake Memory Card eBay Sellers look221112 and bloomboy99 Identified Same Person – Hong Kong And China

eBay Fake Memory Card sellers look221112 and bloomboy99 are connected. While their eBay id’s are registered in China, they shipped out of Hong Kong. Both are currently under eBay suspension. If you bought any memory cards from these sellers please test immediately and file a claim before it is too late.

About The Danger Of Drop-shipping For Both Sellers And Buyers On ebay For MP Players, USB Flash Pen Sticks And Memory Cards

There are a lot of fake MP Players, memory cards and usb flash drives being sold on eBay. The FrankenFlash Project is struggling to free eBay from these devices that cause so much pain to buyers when they lose data. The project is also trying to educate the global public about the problem – it can be found everywhere now.

On eBay a lot of buyers are puzzled about why their sellers are listed in one country but they receive merchandise sent from another. Unfortunately many eBay Sellers use “drop shipping” and do not carefully inspect their merchandise. As a result they are paying the price when eBay members find out that they have received fake and counterfeit items. All sellers need to be careful about what they sell, whether on eBay or elsewhere.

Recently FakeFakeNews published a great article we think everyone needs to read – sellers and buyers alike. You will learn about what this drop-shipping is and why it can be very dangerous.

look221112 Ebay Fake Flash Seller Alert – China

look221112 is an eBay seller of Counterfeit (Fake) Memory Cards. Based in China, look221112 ships out of Hong Kong. look221112 is currently under eBay suspension. If you bought a memory card from this seller test immediately and file your claim with Paypal quickly.

High Speed 32GB 32 GB Secure MEMORY CARD SD CARD

One victims comments on the memory card:

The SD card I received looks exactly like the one in the Seller’s eBay listing with the exception that the card I received has the brand name SanDisk in two place: at the top and at the bottom of the sticker on the front of the card. Also, there is a tiny white logo in the upper right of the sticker that says: “ESP MD mclow M” in a white oval with something like a “Nike swoosh” inside the oval as well.

The back of the SD card is black and blank. If there’s supposed to be a serial number or some other QC Acceptance number or code on a valid SanDisk SDHC card, this card has none. The card arrived in an unsealed plastic SD card holder in a brown envelope. Please also note in the eBay listing that the Seller says under Shipping:”3.We will send the item as GIFT and declared lower value for shipping purpose only. It will not reflective to the total price you paid or the market value of the product. Lower value will avoid or minimize your import tax. Any import charge or fee is buyer’s responsibility.” If correct, I’ll assume this is Customs fraud and possibly postal fraud clearly spelled out in the Seller’s eBay listing!

SOSFakeFlash:

It is customs fraud to lie about items being sent abroad. Items that are “purchased” are not gifts. This is a practise many sellers engage in. It is also a subject of hot debate amoung eBay members. Few like the tax man, but consider this, customs employee’s have a duty to perform and to protect the country that employs them from contraband and harm. They don’t work for free and need to have their salaries paid. Seller look221112 not only sold fake flash but also committed customs and postal fraud.

It is a very debated subject. If you are a victim of look221112 and you kept your envelope you have additional evidence to submit with your claim. We don’t think Paypal or eBay are likely to want to be held accountable for knowingly or unknowningly participating in customs an postal fraud. It is odd that eBay does not scan listings pages for this sort of information and suspend sellers automatically if they do this.
