[QUOTE="Hydrocarbon, post: 426565, member: 13081"] Well EBAY's position is to send it back. They asked for a OEM report to indicate it is counterfeit. I indicated that OE manufacturer is in US and is likely to destroy item if sent there. Also indicated illegal to send in post. I indicated to EBAY that a local OE distributor can verify validity from serial number in battery compartment and that there is no serial number in battery compartment = Fake/counterfeit. Photo of this was sent to seller. This is also supported by the OE user manual. They challenged me to provide evidence that it is illegal to post. They insist on sending it back even when I suggest to them the seller is likely to on sell to another EBAY customer. The process appears to be unnecessarily burdensome and difficult to make a stand against counterfeiters. Like I mentioned previously - to make a claim against counterfeiters you are directed to agree to a return. Once returned then I guess they would then conclude the case closed and no need to take further action. Does anyone have any useful links regarding illegality of counterfeit items and use of postal service to convey them by any chance? [/QUOTE]
