Hello.
Why eBay do NOTHING about cheating customers (scheme) to rip of people?? you have so many sales for "
Portable Kinetic Mini Heater" but actually is NOT a heater but only CHEAP $1.00 air fresheners
and eBay is happy live on because they have a commit-ion
Thank you
I typed 'portable kinetic mini heater' into an ebay search and had a look. Prices seeemd to range from about $4 to $24 (the $24 was a different design)
I opened a few of the ads, just to see if they were those variation listings. Most weren't but I did find one that had an aromatherapy strip on offer. Price was listed in GBP but was only about quarter the price of the actual mini heaters in the drop down menu and both item and price were very clearly shown.
I read the spiel for these heaters, they are supposed to be dual purpose from what I can make out. Air freshener but also supposed to convert kinetic energy into heat.
This compact air aromatherapy was designed with multifunctionality and efficiency in mind, ensuring that it effectively warms up your surroundings without taking up valuable space. As the rings elegantly spin, they create a fascinating spectacle of kinetic energy conversion. The energy generated is harnessed and efficiently transformed into gentle, comforting warmth-proof of cutting-edge technology seamlessly converting kinetic energy into cozy warmth that envelops your space.
4. Comfortable and Cozy Atmosphere: With the flavoring car parfum, you can create a comfortable and cozy atmosphere wherever you go. The gentle warmth it provides enhances the overall ambiance, making your car rides or travels more enjoyable and relaxing. Say goodbye to chilly drives and hello to a soothing and inviting atmosphere inside your vehicle.
Almost all the items were from China and even a couple listed as in Australia were with Chinese sellers.
At the price point they are and the size, I wouldn't be expecting great things with these. There's a hint in the word 'gentle'. Probably as much warmth as a candle, if you're lucky.
If you are mainly after heating, the mini fan heaters that plug into electricity would probably work better for that, but again, at their price point (and the fact they are coming from China), I'd probably give them a miss too.
If you find your item gives out absolutely no warmth, even when you have your hand right on it, then open an ebay claim for item not as described.
