Thanks for the heads up. I sent him a message and ask him what the deal is. Dang I hate dealing with stupid people. I let him know that if it’s anything other than what is pictured he needs to refund now.
Yes it does. I just checked and if you log into ali-express the message is there. I sent him and message back saying that if it’s anything other than the batteries pictured that I want an immediate refund.
For me it showed up on the order page that was sent in a confirmation e-mail. As part of the confirmation there was a link to a new message. There was actually two.

hey friend this battery is unifire do you need ?
It seems that the person who wrote this doesn’t know what they have for sale. I’m waiting for the seller to reply to me. I’m hoping this is just an employee or someone who has no idea what this means. To them Ultrafire or unifire might simply mean supergreat fantanstic battery.
The email title is “(your name), you have a new message for your order.”

My reply for both orders:
If it’s anything other than the exact Sanyo UR18650FM 18650 2600mAh batteries pictured in your listing then I want an immediate refund.
For you BLF’rs, feel free to copy and paste my remark into your reply.
Now if you click on the order he has the same listing for $44.60 and he wants me to cancel my order and place an order for the $44.60 and he claims that the first listing was not for Sanyo although the new listing is exactly the same listing.
Obviously he is not going to ship Sanyo batteries for the price he listed. It looks as though 5 people previously had bought and paid for these and I’m sure he shipped them ultrafire batteries.
I am going to bust this guys chops for a while before I request my money back.
I would also like to say I am sorry to have posted this listing.
Incidentally, I sort of ‘chatted’ with Mr Yefei Wang yesterday asking whether his Sanyo (yes they were marked Sanyo then) batteries were real and brand new because he was selling them for such a low price (It was $1.76 each then). Below are what we talked about:

OK thank you for your time friend. I have already bought 10 pcs Sanyo batteries from another AliExpress seller for $49.52 before.
I’ll just make a pass on this item then. Thanx again.

I’ll be ordering 20 pieces if these are original Sanyo. I’m not familiar with Unifire batteries yet.

Good afternoon! Are these original brand new Sanyo 18650 Batteries? I’m just anxious to order because they are much cheaper than the other sellers. Thank you!

He told me they were Unifire and not real Sanyo batteries. When I checked at the ad again, it was already renamed. Now the price was changed.
It has come to my attention that you are actually shipping UltraFire batteries (not what is pictured). If that is the case then please cancel my order immediately.

if you want to sanyopls cancel your order and then replace i had change price friendand i am sure i can send you sanyo battery
The ‘new’ price (for the Sanyo's) is $44.60. Needless to say, I cancelled my order (we’ll see how that goes).
Just what we all need… another worthless scam artist. This is probably a waste of time but worth a shot. If he doesnt send them for the price I paid, I’ll just cancel the order and get a refund.

Well friend, I already paid you for 10 x Sanyo UR18650FM. This is what you listed in Aliexpress and this is what I paid for. Please send them now or I will report you for fraud. This is very bad business! You send now please.
