Gearbest.com want me to delete thread here on BLF to get a refund.

Oh, and if vendor tries to silence you, just go straight to paypal for seamless bribeless refund

myhken… I appreciate the info you posted and have no issues with you posting a thread before/at the same time a complaint was sent to GB. I also believe that they should adjust to international customers/standards instead of us adjusting to them (but one can only dream). You are however, a bit SENSITIVE and on the attack. GB pissed you off and now, members here are pissing you off. Relax man… seriously, stress sucks…

FYI, anything I sell to others, I buy and test before buying more. I also buy more if I have to replace anything.

Yup ^ Both sides are kind of “at fault” here, many would have reacted more than myken did to some of the comments that do seem like attacks…but he is way over sensitive and putting just too much info in here too to random people on the internet…

Really myhken, just stick to your guns, see how it turns out, then come back and tell us the result. Yes they are responsible if they sell you crap, even if you “should have known”, I don’t really agree with people purposefully ordering stuff knowing it is bad and asking for a refund, but on the other side of the coin NOTHING ELSE is making these sellers responsible in any manner for selling all the falsely labeled/counterfeit/innaccurate stuff to uneducated unsuspecting people who do swallow it once they get it and dont know its bad/counterfeit/wrong item, so forcing them to refund is the only “just deserts” of sorts to discourage/make this practice unprofitable. And yes maybe you were a little gullible …again a bit of both sides is true. So learn for next time, and make em refund you or go to paypal with your images of the fried charger.

No, but the CE mark is just a fake CE mark. If they get the distance between the two letters correct or not has nothing to do with it.

Perfectly sums up my thoughts. I’m sure SB isn’t going to delete the thread at the request of Gearbest, so it’s not even worth being a part of the discussion.

Gearbest not banggood … :wink:

Good catch. Fixed.

Correct. :slight_smile:

Chinese stuff no fake CE required
I want 66$ to shut up

Welcome to blf. Though things like this happen. People are mostly good here so enjoy your stay.

You spent €3000 in products, buying some from other vendors Aliexpress etc. So you have experienced of buying rubbish.

You would have my respect if you open it up and test what the fault is and report back, you could tell us GB asked you to delete the thread in exchange for a refund. You politely declined and filed a PP dispute and leave the thread open for others but why the massive defamation.

I don’t expect a china company to care about laws that do not apply to them. I do expect them to ask for this thread to be deleted, and it would be wrong to do so if the product is faulty and you’ve proved it.

You can just go back to buying from Aliexpress if you think you have better protection.

Tell we what stores I should buy from then? Since all store I use is rubbish, and all products I buy is rubbish.

I don’t get the point of this thread. You bought with Paypal right? If Gearbest does not act like a proper store, ask for refund through Paypal, end of story.
Do you want to raise awareness about Gearbest practices? You could first try posting in their feedback thread, it’s there especially for that purpose.

The point is to let the members here at BLF know that Gearbest.com think it’s good practice to sensor this forum and it’s members.
I’m not out for the refund or anything like that (for like you say, in worst case I have paypal claim). So it was to inform that they don’t care about the other members here, and that they wanted to dictate was is on this forum and not.

Here is the latest reply from them. The refund is now $5.95 or $66 if I delete the thread. (not this one, but the first one)

Let me see if I have this right,
you bought 11 units, of which 1 is faulty.
GB are willing to give you the full refund for the faulty unit.
Then they say if you delete the post referred to they will refund you for all units, including the good ones.

So if you do not delete you get only what you are entitled to….
If you do delete they will refund for all 11 effectively paying you $60 for doing it.

I wish my disagreements with sellers would end up like that.

Hey sb how about locking this and letting it sink, its done and dusted.

Cheers David

But how do they or you or I know that the 10 remaining unit is safe to use? Whould you have taken the risk, selling them to customers, or giving them away to family and friends, and then you hear that their house burned down, because they charged it when they was out of the house or something?

So how can we be sure the other units is safe? I will not test one and one to find out, it was not a fun thing to experience, and what if the issue do not happen at once, but later on?

So my question is, how can GB, or any member here, or my self, be 100% sure that the 10 remaining units is 100% safe to use?

As you are selling them on, and demanding a refund for them all, you should be testing them, or are you saying GB should refund you for untested units??

This is getting weary, I am out of here.

Cheers David

You should get a refund for all the units as they are clearly unsafe. But you should now be doing it through PayPal. Otherwise you are just going round in circles.

Gearbest.com have turned around, and they have really did their best the last days to make this right. They have also taken good action about other products that has been fake.
So they are now doing thing right. For this case, I got a full refund on my paypal account. On some other issues, I will take a store credit, and try to buy some other goods. I have to thank Karen and Gina on this forum, trying to make the best of the situation, and I admit that I may have overreacted a little with this thread. But after using over $1000 on one month, and starting to get bad items, and then fake items, and with some “bad” replies on the ticket system, it got to much for me.
In about a month, I hope I can rapport back that my business with Gearbest.com is really good, and that they are sending good products to a nice price.
