So here is the deal, I buy this OBDII interface reader off ebay from someone with 100% positive feedback. It comes with the connector, cable and software. All the software is hooked up and I go to connect it to the ECU and...----, it says the device is not responding...So I do some research and find that the chip that is inside the interface is a cheap chinease knockoff and not the real thing....I email the guy but have yet to get a response. I did use my credit card to buy this ($~80 bones), so hopefully I don't have to resort to charging this back after I send back the POS...

Anyone have success with charging back paypal via credit card (American Express)?

 

Yea, I may have to do that, but I am going to see if this guy will refund me first...I have all but given up on ebay, ect...it is full of not just cheap chinese ----, but ---- that does'nt work half the time. These shitty products have pushed the price of legitamite items way down.

 

ya i dont like how everybody and there kids pet rabbit is selling ---- on ebay, ive only bought a couple things off ebay in the years, a front grill for a car and some urathane motor mounts, and i didnt even recieve the right motor mounts. i think its funny that my one friend looks and buys stuff off ebay all the time, hes always buying chinese ---- that he ends up being dissapointed or breaks. he will tell me about these cars he see's and how sweet they are and how cheap they are, but they have only been for sale for one day. with no bids or maybe one. hes a lost cause on some of his thinking habits.

 

ebay used to be full of good deals and cheap car parts. now it seems that everything on there is a cheap chinese knock off of something for a mexicans car

 

I used ebay to build my car it just takes along time and you have to know what your looking for but i got all my ---- dirt cheap.

 

word, i ebay sharked for like a year and a half to get my car, motor, internals, and turbo kit, and suspension for my car and i got like 2200$ in it all

 

classic case: jrc versus ching chong ic's
