Received counterfeit MKH416

[dyla_638]

I received a counterfeit MKH416 shotgun mic. I'm currently sending a return request. If the seller declines, what happens with eBay? I know you can open a dispute, but will the money be taken out of the sellers account? The seller's profile contains a fraudulent location if that matters.

Also will I be required to send back the microphone? I'd rather avoid any sort of legal issues with mailing counterfeit goods even though it's a return, and I'd rather somebody not be sold it in the future.

Sellers can't decline a return request if the item was not as described, broken, counterfeit etc. Unless the seller decides to refund you without requiring a return, you do have to return the item.  The seller will have to send a return shipping label or send money for you to buy a label.  Where is the seller located...it can be a little complicated if the seller is in another country.

What do you mean about a fraudulent location?  Was the item shipped from a different country than what the listing said?

Yeah, the listing says Victoria, Australia but the item came from Malaysia

I wouldn't have ordered if the seller listed the location as a country in South East Asia because that's where the counterfeit MKH416s come from. There and China.
