A glucose monitoring ring that is not a monitor

[danocon_91]

The ring is titled glucose monitoring ring. In other adverts a glucose metering ring

This is the oxford English definition of a glucose monitor is;

a device for measuring the concentration of glucose in the blood.

This ring only has 2 magnets no chips it is not a monitor.

E bay thinks this is fine. Ithink who ever looked into this listing has no command of English!

It is not right to make misrepresentations enticing diabetic people to buy a ring calling it a glucose monitoring ring that has no glucose monitoring function.

That is misrepresentation and now ebay is informed it is no longer negligent misrepresentation but fraudulent misrepresentation.

The difinations in English are clear and stated avoid this seller! A search on glucose monitoring ring will show this business site. He refuses to reply to any questions and ebay say its fine. 

Just a warning its only a magnet ring why cant they list it as such.

If you have received an item not as described no need to message this to the seller or to eBay just open a case for a full refund.  It's all automated , the seller has to accept and refund.

Proceed this way:

You have received an item not as described,  so you are guaranteed a full refund under eBay's 30 day MBG,  Money Back Guarantee policy,  if you claim within 30 days of the item's last estimated date for delivery.

You then go right of the item in your Purchase History,  and from More Actions select Return this item,  selecting the reason...  Item Not as Described.

The seller has 3 days to accept the case,  if they don't ,  you need to  escalate on day 4,  or within 30 days,  and eBay will step in and force the refund.

If the seller wants the item back first,  they need to pay for a fully tracked return postage.  On receipt of their item they have 48 hours to refund you.  Again,  if they don't,  you escalate the case.

Do not close the case early for any excuse or promise the seller may give,  and do not forget to escalate.

If this is a UK business seller, you could try reporting them to Trading Standards.

It is frustrating when you see an item that is being targeted at the vulnerable, ill and often elderly and, when you try to do 'the right thing', nothing happens.

I always direct buyers to go to a reputable High Street pharmacy or ask their doctor or involved agency (Diabetes UK in this case) for advice and recommendations.

Unfortunately, there will always be people who choose to buy cheap (often Chinese) rubbish without seeking any advice.  Hopefully, anybody reading this description ' Diabetic glucose control ring is a therapeutic static magnet that stimulates the pancreas and promotes insulin production. Provides energy to the body and increases blood circulation, stimulates nutrient-rich blood flow, and speeds up metabolism.' would actually realise that a couple of magnets would not actually do any of those things and would walk away.

Its a seller in Hong Kong.
The description dose not mention monitor but the Title calls it a glucose
monitor.
Might as well call a string vest waterproof!
Youtube must employ some *bleep* people if they cant see blatant
misrepresentation!
Of course a cut of every sale goes into their pockets.
I am not bothered about peoples choice to buy a magnet therapy ring just
call it that. If its a translation mistake correct it.
To not correct such things leads ultimately to no trust in YouTube!
