Fake ipods are becoming increasingly more popular on ebay. Some of the ipods being sold (most 2nd gen ipod shuffles and 3rd gen nano) on ebay are not genuine!

Here is what to look out for-
Listings that obviously make an attempt to avoid using the brand name
Listings that advertise there product as an mp3 player instead of an ipod nano/shuffle etc.
If the listing mentions that the product is an OEM, this means it is a copy of the real thing More »

Anyone who has bought or are thinking of buying dvds from ebay will face this problem. Particularly anime dvds, they sell like hot cakes, especially the popular series, can go for quite a bit, so that auction that seems cheap seems tempting, thats what they want you to think, now, don’t get me wrong, I am not saying all are like that, there are probably loads of legit sellers, but facing problems due to the pirate sellers.

Just email them and tell them that you require a refund on the grounds that they have commited copyright infringement! And more fool them if they refuse to refund your money!! More »
