You should file a dispute with paypal asap in case you also bought one and you believe it's fake.

please, leave your feedback...

@marcellos

Welcome to esato and thanks for this warning. I wouldn't buy anything of any value from a chinese seller as I have been bitten too. You always end up keeping the goods until they refund the money and vice versa.

I was promised a OEM housing but when it arrived it didn't even have the words Sony Ericsson on. What a joke.

Anyway, I won the case and Paypal refunded me, lets hope you do too.

Paypal didn't help me as I've mentioned.
He's a big seller... and the copies they sell are quite similar to the original (not everyone notices it).
Paypal said they only help if more people complain about him.

You should really look closely and, the more important is to check the audio quality. Then you have no doubts.

Meanwhile he is selling many many of these and other similar products...
Pathetic.

I've asked the seller to refund my costs (in advance of course), so I could just send back this crap. But he denies it. He wants me to ship it back to him and then he would refund me. Yep, right...

Hmm. Well I've asked my other half to buy me a HBH-DS970 for Christmas, I can only hope she hasn't gone on eBay to get me it as I don't want to be doing with some complete fake!

Well, in case you believe it's fake, make sure you file a dispute with paypal asap.
And leave feedback here for follow up...

btw, someone else got a fake. Check his feedback:

Paypal is a pantsy and needs to grow some balls.

Thankfully I've discovered that she bought it from the SE Store online instead.

marcellos, have you thought about adding your discoveries on the reviews/guides on eBay: http://search.reviews.ebay.co.uk/ ?

They have guides up at the moment about fake Memory Sticks and how to spot them, but nothing about the HBH-DS970.

It's a nice idea, but sorry, but unfortunately I've spent to much time already with this crap.
Maybe you or someone else can do it...

If someone wants to do it, please post a copy of the pictures and remove any personal reference. I don't need any credits btw.

Fair enough. If I put it up on there do you want a mention for your efforts?

Edit: perhaps not!

Actually there's an excellent way to help more people.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
-On ebay "advanced search" you can see who just bought the headset.
(search for "DS970", select "Completed listings only" and "From specific sellers" : n*capri*n , "items located in: any region")
You will see that he is selling A LOT!
-If everyone here would contact some buyers via ebay and alert them to the possibility of receiving a fake product, that would be something really helpful.
Ebay limits the communication between members when they are not involved with the transaction, so everyone could cooperate a bit contacting a couple of buyers.

Who would be willing to help here ???? Spread the word!
I'm curious if we will see some extra negative feedbacks poping up.

Here the link I've used directly to the search (try if it works):

Notice he stopped selling those headsets. Or is selling now via another ebay username!
You can check here:
http://stores.ebay.com/Capri-Store

And if you look on google for: "fake DS970"
his negative feedback is shown here in 6th place !
Edit: and this thread is shown in 1st place !!!

I bought my ds970 from this ebay seller and I'm also no satisfied with its quality. I was unhappy about the fact that they opened the item to check if it works before they ship it out while claiming it's brand new and sealed on their sale post. By testing it before the initial 8hr charge can effect the performance of the battery, but after seeing this webpage made me realize i'm facing a more serious problem. I already wrote the seller but so far no reply yet. I'm going to see if I can get a real one from sonystyle store tomorrow and compare the sound quality.
I think it's a good idea to notify the buyer that bought the headset from this seller. I'll start writing them messages

**************************************************
hmm...i was only able to write to 3 other ebay buyers then ebay stop allowing me to send more because i'm not involve in any open transaction with these member.
