TradeTang

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! I purchased a replica copy of an iPod 5th generation mp3 player and it was received defective. The seller was 'bestcellphone'. My mistake was not checking on the seller or TradeTang. I have submitted a dispute claim and that was April 14th and they are dragging their feet. Asking me repeatedly to send photos (which I did) and to communicate with seller to settle thhis dispute. The seller has not returned any of my several communications. This is obviously a bogus operation and am giving this warning to save other people from the grief I have experienced. I fully expect that I will not receive a refund and they want me to return the defective product at my expense without any promise of a refund.

I bought some guitars from two sellers on this site, (http://www.tradetang.com). They sent pictures of some guitars, Fender, and Gibson, both stating that the guitars in the pictures were the exact guitars that they would send. In fact the pictures showed real Fender and Gibson guitars. When the guitars arrived they were absolute fake rubbish. There was shocking fret buzz all over that was so bad it went through the amp. The fretboards were not level and they were all glossy and shiny. There was blemishes all over the wood and the pick ups were loose and some didn't even work (The sound of the ones that did work were really bad). They were absolutely worthless guitars. Don't waste you money with any guitar sellers on this site. Especially those that direct you away from Trade Tang to their own sites (e.g. hihamusic.com). All guitar sellers on Tradetang.com are scammers. They know nothing about guitars and will send any garbage just to get your money. If you can not afford a real Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, Ibanez etc. guitar then you definitely can not afford to throw away your money buying anything from these extremely dishonest criminals. You will definitely regret it. If you do buy anything from these low-life people, and you get their garbage guitar (and that's what you will get), you can remember this and remember that you were warned.
The same goes for DH Gate (dhgate.com). The same scammers on Trade Tang also use DH Gate to scam naive Westerners.

I can only speak for my experience with seller wanglaoj117 (a. K. a. Fechang Li). His advertisement showed 2 American made electric guitars, a Ventures Model Mosrite 12 string and a Rickenbacker 370-12. After reviewing his feedback and assurances that "what you see in my pictuer (sp) is what I send" I placed an order for one of each guitar as shown. I received written confirmation that indeed what was shown was being sent and thought at 10 cents on the dollar this was a good deal. What I actually received however were 2 counterfeit "Rickenbackers" that were blatent fakes without warning that a substitution had been made. After going through customer support, their "generous refund offer" of $300 on a nearly $800 purchase was insulting expecially when I would have to return the counterfeit merchandise back to China at my own expense. That would cost me an additional $450. It was the fox guarding the henhouse folks. The $300 was what the fakes were probably really worth in the first place, the remainder of the $800 went to pay for the sellers "Free Shipping".
The Counterfeits cannot be resold on e-bay without fear of a copyright infringement lawsuit by the owner of Rickenbacker, John Hall. I rate this site $#@. Best advice - stay away from TradeTang.
