Okay…I have a little situation that I need some advice for… I signed up to work selling for a dropshipper…Basically, he had a website with some items on it, I got on eBay and listed the items. When they sell, people payed me through Paypal and I would pay the dropshipper, give him the names and addresses and then he would take it from there. He has a warehouse in the US that he uses to store the items.

Well, recently, he had added some ‘larger’ items that would bring in more profit. One in particular was a set of Rosetta Stone software. I would list it at about 0 and I bought it from the drop shipper for about 0.

Well, I sold about 30 in a week’s time. Now, the problem is, eBay cancelled all my auctions and kicked me off eBay. They also took the liberty of emailing all my customers and telling them that it was fraudulent and that they all needed to call the police, fraud department, and even the FBI!!!

I called my drop shipper and asked him what was going on and why they would do that. I even asked him if they were pirated materials (since one of the customers told me that he had gotten a pirated copy) He won’t answer me and tell me whether or not they are fakes. He just keeps telling me that I will win all the disputes on Paypal (since people were getting a little suspicious since I was ‘no longer a registered user’ on eBay) since they are non-reciepts. That’s not the issue…if these are pirated materials, I am in big trouble for selling them!!

Another issue, is these are coming from China. I just assumed since they were from him, he would have them in his warehouse in the US.
Now, I’m not really sure what to do because, if in fact these are pirated, I could be in a whole lot of legal trouble.

Another thing, is if he refunds the money on these, he will only refund what I paid him for. The problem with this is, I had to pay a lot of eBay fees and Paypal fees so, I would be out probably close to for each sale. times 30 is….a LOT!!

I need to know what steps I should take to protect myself! Any advice would be very helpful! Thanks!

Identity theft in China? Do we need another Cultural Revolution to purge the Imperialist Forces infilterating our Communist Party?

Who is responsible for the misery of Xue Longlong?

I’m looking for an immigration lawyer from the Boston area or NH who specializes in immigration from China. My fiancee is here on a J-1 visa with a 2-year home residency requirement and we need to talk to a good lawyer with experience in the J-1 HRR waiver process. Any suggestions? Thanks!

General statements regarding the quality of Chinese goods have forced Americans took look yet again at the ‘made in China’ tags on their purchases. Why are Chinese goods still so cheap, even after nearly a century of market development in the US? Prices are so low a saying of old wisdom comes to mind – If it looks to good to be true, it probably isn’t. Just a question, but if you were a wealthy criminal, wouldn’t ‘made in China’ tags be the best way to launder your money?

I have won millions for every country, I have candy coming from China, I have money from a dying widow from the Uk all of them asking for my citizenship papers and my ID and address. I want to report them how do I ?
