eBay Suspended & PayPal Limited Forums - 16,000 hoverboards CBP seizure video

who walked into the check cashing place with a $6 million moneygram? one of the lurkers from BHW forums. probably got a sweet deal from the hoards of PMs you get from Chinese hot sellers every time you login.

although i know that $6mm evaluation from CBP is grossly exaggerated for effect and scare tactics.

actually I think they were coming here to be stored and then resellers could buy them and not have to wait for them to come all the way from china...

I did not realize these things were patented/trademarked etc.... they had generics selling at every mall across the USA all summer into the fall.

or am I missing something?

I believe they were seized because of them catching fire not for trademark issues

Yup.

The Chinese cake bakers are slapping LG and Samsung brand names on the internals, especially batteries, to pass inspection.

In OZ, it was one of those "better" jobs..... The hoover boards appeared to tick all the boxes until a thorough check of all the workings was done...

More than one "Friend" had conned the buyer. Couple i saw confiscated were blatantly different in weight!

:doh:
