    Maybe you can go back to Ebay on this. I guess it depends on how the article description is worded, but with Alibaba coming into the market ( and having to clean up its WEB site removing many "copies") Ebay also has to be careful about clones/ copies being offered on their Web site.

    My experience with ebay is that they frankly dont give a crap about counterfeit goods being sold via their site, they are slow as hell to take down reported items unless you happen to be sky uk them selves.

    Well once had an item taken down off ebay because someone alleged the item was mod chipped, even though there was no specific wording or phrasing in the item description saying that.

    then go back to PayPal via their Buyer Protection Policy........ it's worth pushing if only so he loses his Paypal access.

    He is lying to you mate, I have never seen that remote before and I own them all barring the new VU+ duo2 programmable remote.

    Just had confirmation that the remote in question is a sunray remote which is only shipped with the sunray clones, so the seller is absolutely lying to you.

    Just looked this guy up on Ebay as a matter of interest - the remote for the Solo2 is a definite giveaway as a copy. Very misleading listing though as he has obviously used pictures of a genuine receiver (no doubt stolen from VU+ website?)
    It serves as a warning to anyone buying from ebay - you really don't know what you're getting - especially as clones (new or used) are selling for as much as originals!!

    Obvious to a VU user it's a clone, not as obvious to a new user.
    That's how they get away with selling these shit boxes.

    Yes i agree - i shouldn't have been so hasty to use the word 'obvious'.........
    I will say however that it is getting very difficult even for Vu+ users to spot the fakes - there are so many versions and some are very good imitations. Sometimes being over cautious can work against a buyer though, I recently bought a genuine Ultimo on Ebay but the remote supplied was fake (i guess the original owner had replaced the remote and unknowingly bought a copy)

    I wouldn't go as far as that but it's certainly not genuine. I think you need to go to PayPal and tell them about it - they may be able to help with getting your money back
