That is all well and good but it still comes back to the OP getting PROOF that it is counterfeit.

You can stand on your high horse all you like but how is Australia Post going to know what is in the package?

The OP wants his money back...he can take the high moral ground and perhaps have to pay to prove the items are fake and hope paypal will refund without him having to return them.

Or he can take the easy and possibly cheaper way out and just open a dispute on the grounds that the item is not working properly.  All that will cost is the postage with tracking back to the seller.

If he is really vindictive he can report the seller to the authorities for selling fakes after he has his money back.
