Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / December 2005Suspect ebay sales
Was having a browse around on ebay this afternoon and came across a interesting sale for about 13 Revo's, a couple of nitro boats and 8 Cen Nemesis 7.7's. The guy is selling them in 24 hours, in Aust dollars all starting at $19 +$65 postage coming from China but strangely enough he is in germany (according to ebay anyway) and his last sale was in october. He will not except any other payment other than Western Union or direct wire payment. Does anyone else think this sounds a little suspect? Dunno if this link will work for anyone but give it a try: http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZmicha2009 Cheers Richard > Was having a browse around on ebay this afternoon and came across a > interesting sale for about 13 Revo's, a couple of nitro boats and 8 Cen [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Cheers > Richard Sounds VERY suspect. I'd drop E-Bay a line and give them the heads up.

His feedback is perfect. This does not mean his deal is good or bad but it is a pretty good indication of good intention. Also, I have seen many many many ebay sellers that are from one place and ship from an other(especially Video Games and Movies). Maybe it's a dropship or instead of paying for shipping to himself and then have to charge shipping again possibly bringing the price of his items up therefore reducing his actual profit. The 24 hour thing is rather odd but not out of the question if one wanted to get rid of his stock real fast. I do find the method of payment a little questionable but again he may not be set up to accept Paypal or any other form of credit card. All this being said, always be careful and try to cover all the bases when dealing on ebay. Paypal offers good protection against crappie sellers and faulty equipment(if electronic). I deal a lot on ebay and find it to be a great place to get things you normally could not find elsewhere or get a great deal. Do you have the link to the actual auction listing?
