A dilema via ebay...

Ok, here is a little story.

A few days ago I purchased a "genuine" 16GB memory stick for my psp.

-It was being sold in australia

-It was from a seller with a high sale count, 100% rating

-All comments were showing this was a trusted seller

-At 69.95 AUD you'd think this was officially cheap (but not a cheap knock off)



But there was an issue...


THE STICK WAS FAKE!


No magic gate protection detected by my psp


So I decided to get it refunded, and I got the money back in 2 days...



The seller had great communication...but seemed to jump over the fact it was fake, thing is...it wasn't advertised as official ethier (it just happened to be the most expensive fake in my australian seller's listing).



So should I give him a bad rep because it was fake to warn other buyers, make it netral, or give him good marks on communication and shipment speed/quickly resolved the issue?



This conflicts with my normal train of thought

 

Well, he did help you get you're money back and responded quickly.

EDITED
Then again...

 

Maybe its because he never realized that it was fake... id go with your 3rd choice, buddy

 

I just found his name...if I had of known he was chinese I wouldn't have bought from him.


Not being raciest-but I've been screwed in the past by them...I could have went to a market stall and bought the exact same product for just $40!



And how would he NOT know it's fake anyway-this guy is actually a ebay shop owner, only an idiot or just someone selling it out of the blue wouldn't know?

Same train of thought as me


...if only I had of known.



BTW-The reason why I don't trust the chinese is because in the past I bought goods made from china...even though it say's japan, like in this case, and it would break before I got my money's worth because I was overcharged, I thought I'd explain myself before a debate starts...good people just not who i trust with certain goods in markets...or ebay from past experience.

 

Mmmm.... Im chinese.... and um... Did you know 50-60% of goods are produced in China?... Then again... those guys (factory workers) must got blueprints for the products they're manufacturing...

 

I knew this...it just ticks me off when it's fake and they print "made in japan" even though it's got signs of being a fake if placed next to a real one.

 

Wow, that sucks... Dont be so friggin pissed, man. I mean, not all rip offs, er, merchants are that guile.

 

Hmm maybe neutral? I mean, since he never said it was authentic, anyway.

 

I'd also go with neutral, it seemed like you and him were both stuck in between the fake and real thing.

 

This guys gotta point...
Some people get pissed off very easily

 

Report him to eBay and write negative feedback on his account.

 

ANy more suggestions?

I'm considering that...but he didn't advertise they were real in the first place, just the price seemed real...

 

Here's the skinny on all of Ebay. IT'S A SKAM! ;v)
LOL

 

Maybe tell him your going to contact Sony-unless he pays you a cut of his profits LOL.

 

I might as well post bad rep...

This is the only one, evrything else is ethier a mini garage sale or I knew what i was buying was dodgey (like a dummy plug for my pc).

 

He just maybe idiot...
you can tell the mods at ebay about this chinese dude... How old is he?
About your age?

 

He knew what he was doing.

Age doesn't matter-if you want to know mine check my profile, I may not act it but I am as listed.

 

then hes a f'ing moron... even although im being racist to my own race...
well, "lock and load" as they say...

 

I dont think you can be racist towards someone of the same race as yourself.Calling him a moron isnt being racist anyway.

 

Neutral is the highest you should even CONSIDER giving in as it was a fake card and he most likely knew it.
