Purchased an action cam from amazon marketplace

it arrives from china

It is not as pictured on the website - all guides on line suggest its fake

Software app required is not the genuine one

Amazon suggest that i have to return it to the seller (at sellers cost), but ive heard stories where basically it gets lost in the post and you then dont have a camera or a refund.

The seller has suggested i continue to use it and has offered a £5 refund

Is there some way where i can return it to amazon rather than this seller as i think im either going to have to spend xxx amount to add the relevant tracking which'll probably let me down or just keep it

If i wanted to buy the cloned item i could have done so for £20 less in the first instance!

Many thanks

Yes it indeed was the camera

The one I got is actually really good, but it's just not the one I paid for

I've used the sj cameras a couple of times greenlaning, simply incredible for the money

Looks like Amazon are sorting it out, but only time will tell


Don't worry spare tyre fans, I'll be posting up a link to the replacement when the time is here
