Live and learn I guess - you are playing very dangerously with using your home address for these kind of shipments - regardless of your "figuring"...

always glad to see the truth come out. classic thread hiding the real BS. you deal in ill.eg.al goods. cry me a river

I want to try out a PxP - do they play the PSP games?

just as a sidenote I'm saying.

ravenv12 · #26 01-19-2016

I'm not crying about anything I just figured that was not something bad but I guess I figured wrong. And also is the PXP does not play PSP games it has built in games. Does anybody know if the retro consoles have the same issue importing those ? Just looking for something extra on the side to sell. I do a lot of buying and selling of game consoles and games I have a quite large inventory

Never use DHL for fluffy bunnies

ravenv12 · #28 01-19-2016

Yeah one of the people that I used to buy stuff from over in China said that he would not use DHL.......... But the seller that I got the game consoles from only use DHL for large shipments

The seller is trying to get me to agree for me to reship the item when I used to import stuff before usually it would get seized before leaving China and sellers would reship item. But the seller has been very rude and nasty so should I just ask for a refund don't want him to send me an empty box

If the seller on dhgate refuses to refund you then you can simply open a dispute with dhgate and let them know the parcel has been seized by customs. As it has been seized due to counterfeits, it is the seller's responsibility. Do not throw any letters you received from customs as you will need to send dhgate that info for evidence.

The buyer knew what he was buying.

He got caught

It seems like its happened a fair number of times before...

It seems you clearly knew what you were getting yourself into and are now upset you made poor decisions.

I've already said I don't care. I just did not know it was an item that would be red flag. But it would be nice if someone would answer my question about the retro gaming systems if they have the same issue on importing

Why does everyone have to post comments insulting the OP which contribute nothing to the thread? The guy isn't upset, he's not trying to make people feel bad for him, and he understands the package is gone. He also isn't asking for any illegal advice. He's just trying to figure out what his options are moving forward with his business. There's NO NEED for the cavalry to ride into the thread on their high-horses.

OP - To answer your question. I don't know what kind of "retro" game consoles you are talking about, but if they are trademarked then you run the same risk as last time. If you import the generic android pieces-of-crap, you would be fine. Regardless of what you try to import moving forward, I would use a different name and address. Anything you import with that shipping address now will be subject to increased scrutiny from customs.

Totally agree! Lets help OP get on the right track. It seems the bashing on here is getting out of control lately. Lets not be PC commandos. How about we treat each other with some respect.

His business is importing counterfeit DVDs and PSP's...

Its people that sell these sorts of items that
A - Drive prices down on eBay
B - Make it a lot harder to sell said items for genuine sellers
C - Make a lot of people assume what your selling on eBay is not genuine.

If it was a one off genuine mistake that is fair enough. Most people have been there and done that by mistake when starting out. Doing it over and over again though is a different ball game.

Importing unbranded generic retro games consoles is not an issue so long as they are declared correctly

My Favorite is when people don't give you all the facts....then little by little all the truth comes out.....in the meantime they act like they are the victim, that pisses me off.

Anything branded can be subject to seizure - retro or current....especially from China

Walk the walk.

I've never had chocolate crackles, but they look to be absolutely delicious.

this is the exact point to be made. and it's another reason i only skim topics now rather than be as involved as i used to be.

i have absolutely no problem helping people. but there are a ton of scumbags on here hiding the truth and begging for help. it is a massive waste of time when a couple posts later, a few intelligent and experienced members of this forum had to fish out the truth which is nothing more than another moron whining they can't make money with their ill.eg.al business.

OP admits to doing this multiple times and clearly has no remorse or regret. just looking for fast cash and won't stop until the co.ps show up. so yea, i'm gonna continue to out the scumbags who wanna play games and hide and do nothing but waste everyone's time on this forum.

ravenv12 · #43 01-21-2016

Yeah if you guys. If you actually take a minute and read the crap I've said I have not import anything from China in a very very long time years and years ago. I have close to 100 game consoles 5000 in games so I think I'm doing pretty good all legal. I deal in old and new video games so something like the handheld console that I was trying to import would be a nice thing to go with my stuff I'm already selling just like the retro game consoles. Just picked up 3 more original Nintendos today along with about 50 games .

ravenv12 · #44 01-21-2016

It would look very similar to one of these
. It does say Nintendo on the box so I would like to know if that's going to be a problem..

If its going to be a problem I won't worry about trying to import it, I'm quite happy with the money I'm making right. now but I would like a little extra icing on the cake
