beware of seller visionmachine

[iggy24]

Hi all,
do beware of visionmachine if you are buying from him from the buy/sell. I just bought a "orignal canon battery" from him today. Partly my faulty that I did not dig out the thread before i did the trade.

upon verifying that my camera is unable to register the battery i bought from him, I asked for a refund, but was refused.

He also posted the same sales on 11th nov and 13th nov. Any bro here care to share if you have met him and confirm that the battery he is selling is a fake?

regards,

iggy24

i think the camera not being able to read the battery is a big hint already right.?

You didn't test the battery on the spot?

Always check seller's post history. He is obviously a trader here. And you took his word on "only charged twice" for a used battery with no way to verify?

The camera is able to read the battery info but I only found out abt the retrieve battery serial no. bit by pressing the info button at the battery info page when i got home. The other originals I have is able to display battery serial no. whereas the fake battery does nothing when the info button is pressed(same as the other phottix battery I have). all the batteries can display the 3 bar battery info thingy.

GRbenji, I only check the battery can display info. my bad for not doing my research before buying. Anyway this is just to warn others of possible similar cases. He said is bought it from a shop in funan, so maybe he thought he bought a "genuine" too.

highly doubt so. anyway for batteries it's safer to buy new at your usual shops instead of BNS.

To TS, can you help all of us by posting a photo of the front and back of the so called "fake" battery so that we can see how fake is fake. Thank you.
