Misleading Solar Panels and Regulator
Summary: The discussion initiated by mikeoyoda addresses concerns about misleading solar panels and a regulator. trump6666 responds with additional information or queries, engaging sandypebbles and sugar249 in the conversation. However, specific details about the nature of the misleading aspects or the outcomes of the discussion are not provided.
As an example. Item: 384804443686 but they have flooded ebay marketplace.
I got mine yesterday and its only a 25w panel not 260w as advertised.
It does not produce 5 amp.
It is rate at 416 milliamps which is half an amp.
It has a built in regulator for a usb and 12v charging output built in that delivers 416ma, so what are you suppose to do with the regulator sold with it is anyones guess, there are no wiring for the regulator anyway.
I did a search on the panel itself once I got the item and it is sold as a trickle charging panel.
It looks like someone had oversupply of stock and just bundled stuff together to make you believe they went together.
I am surprised ebay lets these items that are clearly mis represented in the advertising be sold.
Its akin to a fraud.

·2 years agoEbay needs to take some responsibility as a point of DUTY OF CARE, the one example I found has 99.4% positive feedback and has sold several thousand solar panels, it is just fraudulent information provided by the seller which in my eyes is unethical and also illegal by Australian Consumer Law.
It's unfortunate to see the uneducated blatantly ripped off and deceived by overseas sellers praying on the fact electrical mumbo jumbo just does not compute, I have sold solar panels for over 23 years and 90% of my customers just stare into thin air when I talk numbers and equations.
EBAY FIND YOUR DUTY OF CARE OR YOUR TIME WILL BE NUMBERED, IF THEY ARE REPEATEDLY SCAMMED.

Nobody from eBay is reading your comment
Buyers need to take responsibility for their own buying choices
It is up to the buyer alone if they make the choice to
a)buy such a thing from a random seller in the first place
b)Buy such a thing, especially from a dodgy seller in China
c)Choose to keep these dodgy sellers in business by choosing to buy these things
You say it is illegal , have you taken action and reported it to the authorities ?
99.4% for a high volume seller is rubbish
And you can't site 'Australian consumer law' when you admit yourself the seller is overseas
Nobody is scammed if they use basic common sense and use the tools they are given under the MBG

·2 years agoFirstly I am not going deaf.
If a buyer is silly enough to buy from a seller with 99.4%, its their problem, they are obviously happy to support these sellers, Ebay has given them the tools, they need to use them. The buyer is not being scammed, if they knowingly buy from such a seller, they are scamming themselves to use your terminology
