Got Fake DVD's , now what?
I already had Season 1, retailed store bought that one. I ordered a DVD set, got them, Seasons 1 through 6. Got the 1-6 on ebay from a seller. Quickly I can tell they were fakes, coloring was off and compared the Discs to the real one I had and the inner DVD coding/writing was completely different. Everything on the Ebay purchase was fake, the plastic, the box, the shrinkwrap, etc. I contacted seller and filed Paypal NAD , within (not kidding) 5 minutes, I got a 100% refund. Said, "please do not leave bad feedback" My question is, What do I do about these fakes? Who do I send them back to? The seller ? Ebay? The Studio? Im an honest seller and I hate when this crap happens on here. Makes all of us that are honest look bad. The seller is in Ohio, not China, so now you can't even sort out countries to try to single out the possibilities of fakes from China.|||"I contacted seller and filed Paypal NAD , within (not kidding) 5 minutes, I got a 100% refund. Said, "please do not leave bad feedback" My question is, What do I do about these fakes? Who do I send them back to? The seller ? Ebay? The Studio?" What did the seller say? Did they request you send the item back to them? What does the seller's feedback on Toohause look like? Does it show any NEGS for counterfeits? It sounds like once you filed the SNAD for counterfeits, the seller refunded "within 5 minuets" because they knew the item was counterfeit. If the seller did not request the fake item be returned at his cost, then there is little reason to return. Once the seller refunded the claim with Paypal would be closed and Ebay/Paypal are out of the picture on this deal. IF the seller was unaware of the fact the DVDs were counterfeit, I would think they would be willing to pay for the return, so they could take the matter up with their supplier The fact they refunded so quickly and were not concerned about the return to their supplier, leads me to think , they knew ,got caught and just want the matter to go away. For me, the seller's previous feedback, if it contains previous NEgs for counterfeits would be the determining factors for me.|||The seller IS in China, take another look. Their ad just says Akron. Looks like you already negged them. Their FB shows they sell fakes. Link|||A review of the auction listing, shows the item location as USA, yet the seller is registered in China A review of your seller's feedback (NEGS) on toolhaise shows a history of counterfeits.( Click the word link) Link In this case, I would leave the following NEG to warn others and put the seller on Ebay's radar. Example" Item not as described,Countefeit DVD set. Buyers beware". Unless buyers are willing to leave appropriate feedback for counterfeit sellers, they will just continue.|||Seller registered in CHINA, item locations show Akron Ohio, NO way the seller is listing anything ,but counterfeits.|||James the item location says Akron Ohio, because the seller knows, if They the show China as the location , buyers will know they sell counterfeits and won't bid, just like the OP did thinking they are buying from a USA seller. Seller registered in China, says it all . Game over.|||Yes, I thought I summed the situation up nicely.|||Thanks guys Yea, even the shipping from was from an Akron, Ohio address Im thinking of forwarding these fake bootlegs to studio with these person's contact info. Im tired of all this fake chinese crap on Ebay. A lot of sellers, me including, work too hard to deal with scammers like this person. I honestly wanted these DVD's for mothers day gift, now I have to keep searching. p.s. the seller offered me money to remove the negative i left them. can you believe this?|||What I can't believe is that they're a TRS, Top-Rated Seller! TV series sets seem to be the most faked dvds on ebay. I haven't bought any of my TV sets here on ebay, besides the Hulk and Ellen, and Ellen I bought each season from individual sellers. It seems to be the sellers offering the entire run of a series all at once that seem to be selling the fakes. just a heads-up for lurkers reading this!|||||||||"Also check out the positive comments the seller has, some are from people that got fakes but got a refund and kept the items and left them positive " It is very common for the Chinese counterfeiters, once confronted by a buyer about the fake item to refund immediately and ask the buyer to leave positive feedback. This is exactly how they escape Ebay's radar .|||Yea just learned this. Its disgusting to see. I mean, the guy is a TOP RATED SELLER???? man! How come people don't know these are fakes? It's so obvious by the cheap everything and off color boxes and filmsy DVD and art . How does customs allow these shipments to enter the US? Anyhow, yea, that seller, even offered me money to retract my negative! I hate deceitful sellers that sell fake items , it not only wastes our time (this was a gift) but also it makes honest sellers look bad when they are strugggling (like I am) to stay alive on eBay. All while this person is a Top Rated Seller selling fakes. I mean c'mon.||||||This is what he is currently putting on his auctions subtitle Genuine US Release, All 7 Seasons, Free Shipping Can't someone just arrest this guy? What nerve. Im sure they are also fakes.
