eBay seller: safe2star - sells hacked players

well guys i was mad with this one. paid for a 16gb mp3 mp4 player. says it can hold 1000 songs etc etc. well i ran the reformatting tool and found its less the 4gb memory in it. also ran a few programs to see what it had. i bought 2 others before and was un aware of it. i gave them out for x-mas presents. so now i have to round them up. the seller says he will give me a refund if i ship it back to hong kong, but no thanks i no where that is going.

here is the sellers account: safe2star

Sorry to hear that you have a hacked player.

My best suggestion is to ask for a PARTIAL REFUND. That way, you keep the player but at a much cheaper price. Otherwise you will waste money on shipping etc.... The player should still work fine, just not the 16GB storage as advertised.

Hope you leave him negative feedback (after you get the partial refund though Wink

)

Oh no

I have ordered two 16Gb MP3 players from that seller for about a month ago, but have not recieved them yet.
Probalby they will also be hacked Sad

By the way how long took the shipping for you ??

took about 35 days to get it. once you get it use "MP3 Player Utlities 4.00" and reformat it. the seller since told me about his 16gb to 4gb and sent me a refund extremely fast. he asked not to leave negative feedback because he has had many complain about it. what a fraud artist huh? so i would try talking to him for a refund.

Ok, today I recieved the players, both where 4Gb not 16Gb Sad

Did you get any refund or what did you do about this ?

Wow what a rip off Shocked

!!!
I never buy from outside because I never get refunds

But can't you report him? (I never use ebay so I don't know Sad

)

Next time buy directly Wink

mac_gyver,

If you paid via PayPal, I would recommend you file a DISPUTE for the purchase. Say it's a hacked player and isn't what is advertised. A lot of users have been able to get a partial refund for it which is the better solution than to return the player.

Hope that helps.
Good luck.
After you get the refund, leave negative feedback!
