Ebay Shennanigans and The Squash Air Freshener

I bought these from Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=320267953967

Note this seller name: evolution*ms

Do NOT buy from them. The ones I got are NOT genuine. As soon as I opened the package I knew I had been scammed. I'm going to try to get a refund. The box feels different and it even looks different and has different writing. The plastic it's made from is even pressed differently as well as the air freshener material. It's a very close fake, but I have a genuine with me to compare it with.

It smells good, but it's not the same - I'm very disappointed. So if any of you were thinking of buying from this vendor to get "JDM" air fresheners, DO NOT DO IT.

Fake air freshener is fake.

They'll be getting negative feedback regardless of if they give me a refund or not. False advertisement is BS.

Mitsuwa FTW! It'd cost slightly more, but at least I know they're legit... HAHAHA! For me, knowing that I have a bunch on hand, I'd probably use 'em up hella quick. So, I'd much rather stick with buying one every 3 months or so. Then again, people always seem to detect the scent regardless of how old the air freshener is.

Anyways, best of luck with your refund claim. If you ask me, if it smells the same, I'd just use 'em up and make note of not buying from them again. It goes into the case anyways, and is usually out of sight. Yet, I do understand you want to argue the principal of the matter. G'luck!

PS... if you're that pissed, chuck one over my way! I'd gladly take one off your hands.
