Continue to patrol and monitor eBay for suspect flash memory listings.
eBay powersellers using private auctions to sell false capacity memory cards, usb flash drives and mp players are no longer immune to suspensions. Pressure on eBay continues.
When members take the time to warn others who left positive feedback, powersellers are starting to be suspended despite high positive feedback scores.
As always, buyers should test the true capacity of items: H2testw 1.4 – Gold Standard In Detecting USB Counterfeit Drives to ensure advertised capacity was received. If not, leave SOSFakeFlash + H2testw in feedback (negative, or follow up to positive), file a dispute for a refund, contact eBay if you are able and begin warning others.
If you are a lucky one, contacted by a FakeFlashAngel, offer your help.
SOSFakeFlash is currently focusing on investigations, processing information received from The Report A Fake Tab and Action Cells. We need to produce updated eBay Fake Flash Seller lists.
Addressing information is revealing fraudulent sellers are running several eBay ids in parallel, slightly staggered in time. A Fake Flash Memory relay race? Instead of a baton, pass the fake flash memory sticks? As odd as this may sound, it is exactly what is happening on eBay at the moment. Help trip them up and prevent them from passing the same listings to a new id.
In two months, 235 alerts have been issued on the Internet by SOSFakeFlash. Dragon Dakel’s Watchdog at FakeMemorySentinel 385+ testing warnings.
Consider this, if eBay powersellers who sell fake memory products can now receive suspensions, ask yourself why?
