He bought a 3.60 MB from a China guy, who send him 3.65 instead. Moreover, when he (our guy ) tried to get a refund, the China guy changed description for his mobos to now state he sell 3.65 and refuse to refund anything claiming the 3.65 part was here from the very beginning

 

[SKGleba]

My friend also ordered from him, received a 3.63 one.

No worries.
It can happen.

Maybe it's time to turn off auto translate?

Well, he has proof of the conversation where they admit changing it to 3.65 and I'm sure eBay has logs of the description being changed. Getting a refund shouldn't be much of a problem.

bought the 3g version on ebay today but different seller. Hope it comes with <3.60

Just escalate the case if you received a whole unit, it is a lot hard to claim if you just received a board instead, never buy from a bulk seller on these game console motherboard.

 

[slaphappygamer]

Call up eBay. They will have your back. I’ve been scammed before and was able to get a complete refund. I purchased through PayPal also.

If the seller won't give you a full refund, file a claim with eBay and that should make them a lot more willing.
If they still won't give you a full refund, go through with the claim and get eBay to refund you. If needed you can send them the screenshots.
But whatever you do don't close the claim until you have your money back because you won't be able to reopen it and eBay won't help you.

Where is the surprise? Chinese seller+$(insert_any_marketplace)=Scam
Follow this simple rule and you won't be surprised any more. I frequently buy something from chinese stores but I expect the worst case and I never got disappointed

There is nothing which cannot be faked. In this case here you can be happy that you got an original board. They fake GPUs, CPUs, Microcontroller inside legit hardware etc. There is no limit today... You buy a usb cable from them and get one with only 2 wires inside, so no data transfer. That's globalization for you

I will fight to the last!) The purpose of my post was that others did not fall into such a situation!

If you click on your eBay item from your purchase list it will say a change was made and would you like to see the actual listing you bought from... easy to see the original

Or

eBay keeps a list of all changes made to listings and when so when you open a dispute it is logged and you can get a refund.

eBay 101.

If someone is deceived as me, defend your rights until the last!

 

[chirogan]

well i think its only a matter of months till we see the Homebrew in 3.67. if you currently own a Vita with higher Firmware, your other option is to wait for the hacks. thefl0w already announced and it will be released later this year or early next year. this is if you are not yet informed.
