    Hi Paul,

    I have bought this item in good faith.

    Your refund will be issued tonight if you promise to remove the negative feedback you have left, once the feedback is removed, I will leave a positive feedback for your self.

    Moreover, it wasn't necessary to open a dispute.
    Please let me know ASAP.

    Please return it back to:
    xxx xxxxxxx xxxx, London, SW18 xxx

    Regards

    You say that you have bought the disk in good faith. I had always considered that a possibility. But an honest trader would not then provide me with a fake address to return the fake disk to!!! Also, honest traders do not suggest they are a UK limited company when they are not. I have checked Companies House and there is no limited company with your name.

    I also note from the negative feedback you have received, that I am not the only one who has bought a fake disk.

    I have contacted the Pizza Parlour at the address you gave me and they are the only occupant! They know nothing of Jane Green, tvc9uklimited or of anyone at their address selling computer disks!!!

    You cannot make it a condition that I remove negative feedback before issuing me with a refund; this is just a further indication that you are a fraudulent trader. My dispute with Amazon will remain. The matter has also been reported to Trading Standards and I will be supplying them with the counterfeit disk and copies of all your e-mail communications.

    You will also be aware that Amazon can read these communications and they will be most interested to know that you have provided me with the address of a Pizza Parlour to return the disk to! Is that the same address you used when you registered with Amazon?

    From what i gather, you're not allowed to send fake goods back to the seller (it's illegal to do this), you need to get it verified by trading standards of a MS "expert" then get TS to write a letter or something ...

    TS will then dispose of the product (I know this from paypal / ebay)

    I think you can see why now I asked for an address to return the goods to!!

    I used to sell on Amazon Marketplace and I can only say one thing about it:

    Never, EVER, buy from Marketplace.

    Send this reply to Amazon. The seller is blackmailing you so that yhey can have a clean slate and rip other people off. Don't fall for it, just take the A-Z strike and let them suffer their loss of rip off revenue.

    Please read my reply to the seller comments and you will see I did not fall for that one!
