Listing pic misleading.

[audistarelectronics]

Hi all, item shows with 2 batteries in the pic on the listing, but only sent with one. Seller said to check the bottom of the listing where it lists what is supplied, and yes, it does say 1 battery. But why in this world show a picture with two batteries when they gont have any intention of supplying them.  Just another addition to the Chinese sellers scam artilliary. As an example, another favourite is showing a really cheap price for say, a micro SD card, let's say the price is really cheap at $2.00 for an 8GB card, but when you open the listing and look closer, the $2.00 is only for an micro to SD holder, not the card itself.  When you are searching for an item, it should only show that particular item in the search result, not some other piece of junk that is only worth peanuts so that it creates a trap for the unwary. If I was after an adaptor, that is what I will put in the search.   It's about time ebay got onto these sellers, but I wont hold my breath waiting. I note it is happening more and more of late, and really annoying.

Chinese sellers.   'Nuff said.   

Welcome to the 'new ebay shopping experience'

There are people in China teaching the ways to sell on the internet and they show how to fool your customers.

You can even buy eBay accounts with feedback already loaded and start scamming.

And people say I'm harsh or racist when I criticise Chinese sellers.

Huh, what they are up to, you ain't heard nothin yet.

That's absolutely terrible, and takes all the credibility out of the feedback system, well, what it has left anyway. What's the point of even checking feedback if it is being doctored in the first place.

I know, it's shocking.

We need to NOT buy from Chinese sellers to make China realize THEY need to clean up their own backyard.

eBay would do well to not allow anyone in China to open an account outside of China.

eBay's reputation is being greatly damaged.

It's those ones that make it hard for the legitimate Chinese sellers. There are 2 that I buy from regularly. They both have high feedback scores (over 30,000) with 100% feedback. One has always had 100%. The other had one negative a few years back. The buyer didn't read the description. They have both always had 5 stars for everything as far as I know.

A few months back I had a multi order from the one that has always had 100%. One item was missing from the order. Easy enough to do when you've bought close to 40 items. I sent them a message saying what happened and said they could put it in my next order that I'd already started building. I got a reply a few days later saying they had searched everywhere and couldn't find it, so they would refund. They refunded DOUBLE the amount. I was NOT expecting that. Maybe they thought I'd neg them.....which I'd never do to them as I want to keep buying from them!

There are decent Chinese sellers. It's just hard to find them amongst the scammers and liars.
