Seller on eBay sells FAKE Sony VTC5's!

[THEhomelessONE]

Fell victim to another ebay scam I checked the pictures very closely and they are legit, but they sent me some Samsung battery under a Sony wrap. Paid almost $30 and wasted my time for nothing. Anyone know where I can get real VTC5's? Thanks!

None of the places I get batteries from will even try them again. There are so many companies re-wrapping them I would be terrified to even try one. Now I just stick with Samsung 25r or HE2s. At least Im pretty sure they are legit. If you report them ebay will refund you and kill there site

They're a power seller with over 3000 reviews, but I hope I get my money back without having to pay to ship these, killing their site would be even better. Looks like another couple weeks of analogs for me. The wrap was actually very legit, but it has the huge gap at the top that gives it away. I'll look into those Samsung batteries, thanks!

There are other 30A batteries available. Xtar & EFest (purple battery) sell a rewrapped Sony VTC4 (2100 mah). Check out some of these reputable battery sellers to see what they have in inventory:

* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics

Thanks for the links!

Read on eBay that if they're fakes shipping expense is on the seller so I'm good there. Hopefully she'll refund me and let me keep the batteries to avoid shipping expenses and a negative review.

Just an update, ..... replied, basically calling me a m0r0n. Insisting that they are 100% authentic and that I take them to a knowledgeable vape shop. Buying herself time and wasting mine...

When I ordered off my laptop it looked like it had a tight double rim, but it was the lighting from the picture. Double checked on the plasma when they came in and I can see it's not authentic
