I currently came across a deal w/ this guy on Ebay (his Ebay ID is km-electronics). He is selling a 24X CDR for most people (300+), but it is the 8X CDR (Samsung SN-308B). When I emailed him, he insisted that he sent me the correct one despite his description in his auction. Ebay only protect people between 30 to 60 days. I want to put this guy down , because of his bad reputation and cheating. Could you help me out? I include a copy of his email. Thank you.

Let me help you
R stands for READ
W stands for WRITE.
Cd-R means it reads a CD-R, a CD-RW or any CD at that speed
CD-RW or W means it writes at that speed. R=Read , W=Write.
This is not to hard to comprehend.
Hey, if you don't want it, send it back for a refund of your winning bid. We
do not refund shipping charges.
It must be IN THE EXACT SAME CONDITION YOU RECEIVED IT WITH ALL PACKING
MATERIAL in order to receive a full refund of your winning bid.
This is our offer, keep it or return it for a refund of your winning bid.
Please include item number, auction info and your paypal information.
Positive Feedback must be left prior to your refund since retaliation is
unacceptable and unprofessional.
Sincerely,
Keith & Marlo

BTW, you should be aware that the real drive you could buy at Dell (24X CDR)
is about the same price you are selling on Ebay for the refurbished item. If
they really find out about it (all of the people you have sold and Ebay),
you
are screwed. Don't say that 24X CDR is the read speed, nobody says that. It
is
the term for the recording speed that the drive is capable of. The RW stands
for the rewrite speed, which is in this case, your drive is only capable of
4X. Final words, I am not a novice user nor a novice technician. I am
working
for a school technical deparment. Perhaps, you should know that.
