scam or genuine

[sparkyjon]

i keep finding these popping up over ebay whilst browsing ebay for new toys.. seems too good to be true. i have seen people bidding on them over £100 in a 24 hr auction, the seller keeps having 0 feedback to , i just hope these people aren't getting scammed..

personally i wouldn't bid..

scam most certainly, 1 day auctions so ebay dont have the time to delete, 0 feedback, I also would avoid but hope these people haven't parted with the money if it is a scam

i posted about one of these 2 days ago, that was one 0 feedback (but fair enough some ones gotta start somewhere) but still

Look where it's being sent from. Free post from China - I don't think so. They are just looking for suckers and there personal info and credit card details.

Don't go anywhere near it.

What does an ocean liner need at a port?

A wide birth, just what this needs

[sparkyjon]

Yeah i thought it was dodgy. just noticed some last week people had bid on..

If you read the listing it also goes on about posting and how there will be proof so don't blame the seller for damaged item. Im wandering if these are badly damaged scopes and the seller is happy to get a bit of money for them.

I had better unlist it as you have all sussed me

[sparkyjon]

it's a shame as someone is bidding up to £185 at the moment , a bargain in someone's eyes but no doubt they will get stung.. it's a shame others cant contact the bidder to find out if it does turn up we could be missing out on bargains here..

U have the ability to report all supposed dodgy items. I suggest u do so on all u see

[J_M_Franklin]

Reported, just a shame that Ebay, in their infinite ruddy stupidity, only allow you 100 characters to make the ruddy report!!

[sparkyjon]

Yes i reported it but it still ran to the end i don't think 24hrs is long enough for them to do anything about it...
