Ebay manipulate feedback for their business sellers.

Wait, so the £2's-worth of charger I got with my cheap Chinese ZTE phone is a fire hazard because it's not Apple branded?

Dear god when will Apple stop their manipulation of idiots, and when will Apple idiots stop believing anything Apple related which is shoved down their throats?

My experience is with fake HTC chargers.

One in particular would overcharge and screw the touch screen up.... the other would get hot and crackle :S

How do they sell them so cheap without affecting the quality?

That's the thing.

If an unknown factory somewhere in China has the balls to imitate HTC, then they simply won't have proper safety testing measures in place. The main objective of such factories is to produce an externally visually similar product, with absolutely no attention to detail on the internal manufacturing of the product.

My ZTE charger, even though it's worth pennies, bears all the safety marks you'd expect, but it's not fake.

The point is, if you want to save on peripherals get them from a reputable 3rd party manufacturer. They won't be "fake" and they will be manufactured with safety in mind because they have a reputation to keep - unlike that fake HTC factory which doesn't give a ****.

There are plenty of AC to USB spec chargers out there from 100% reputable companies, which have all the same proper electrical safety measures as any other "real" item.

I agree with the above, this is the real problem! As you cannot really categorise all phone chargers as "Real" or "Fake" as some will be manufactured properly by a 3rd party and properly tested. The Fake chargers are those which claim to be official but are not, and which can therefore cut costs on construction/parts without reprise.

eBay feedback are not product reviews. If you review the product instead of the seller then you can have the feedback removed.

As a Business seller this helps loads :D

Ridiculous. So describing in feedback how the product was not as advertised, the seller can ask ebay to remove.

I know this is true, as I bought a coffee tamper that was described as perfect for a Gaggia Classic, when infact it was 2mm out.
I left feedback stating this and the seller got it removed.
Lol ebay.
 
Yeah you have to play their system, with the scummy sellers selling products fraudulently you have to make some bs up about them personally and avoid mentioning the product itself.
 
I had a person leave a best offer on an item I was selling. I accepted it and he refused to pay by PayPal when it was a PayPal only sale, and left me a neg comment when I refused to offer it to him cash in hand. EBay kindly removed that neg.
 
Not always the way it happens pepsilol! I bought a Dell charger which stated it was "geniune/official" and it did look it. This was actually from Play and one of their marketplace sellers, but think the guy had an Ebay store as well. Long story short I had about 3 of them and there was something not quite right with any of them.

Makes me wonder if the laptop is causing the problem, but this was cheaper than the official one, but then they are very overpriced!
