    Ignore it MyUserNamesTaken, he's obviously not read your posts properly...which is becoming a big habit.
    You have done everything right,
    What was you meant to do...
    Send it back to a address different (how conveniant) to the paypal one..
    because there's no way possible that the seller could have been giving you a false address or nothing.. :rolleyes:
    I'd leave the item at the sorting office personally just incase the seller does use that to get his refund re-embursed.
    Hope you have better luck with ebay in future :)
    Have a nice day!

    Aye just ignore brooker, everyone else does.

    Just leave it at PO, after a week they may try again as you are the sender. If you do not accept it again, i think it goes to some special sorting office, where it will opened. And may be sent you again or they keep it for 3 months, they perhaps sell it for charity.

    Like you say, you have your money back, but could be reversed if you accept the item back.

  • Cheers for the advice. I'll just leave it at the sorting office. The thing is of no use to me, anyway, as it's faulty and corrupts data.

  • The item wasn't faulty, it was a counterfeit. Almost all of the 'high quality' flash cards sold on eBay are fakes.
  • The item wasn't fault, it was a counterfeit. Almost all of the 'high quality' compact flash cards sold on eBay are fakes.

    You try getting the seller to admit that! ;) I told him that, but he wasn't having any of it. I went as far as to say that it had been messed with to show an incorrect capacity when put into a card reader (4gb instead of 1gb), and the only way of seeing that it was only a 1gb card was to actually try putting data on it (it holds 1gb). The data corrupts within hours of being put onto the card. However, he's sold absolutely loads of these and has something like 4K positive feedback (98.8%).

    Just as a pointer 98.8% feedback is not particularly good. It is at the level where I would only buy after seriously checking out seller feedback and read the comments going back a few pages even on the positives.

  • Hmm...just checked the tracking.

    A delivery was attempted for your item with reference RI000000000GB in My Town PDO before 12:33 on 11/06/07.

    A card may have been left, depending on the country's postal service.

    If undelivered, it will be returned to the UK.
