Ebay Auction - What do you think??

[Vanquish]

Are you guys talking about this?

KX018005 T-REX 700 Nitro Limited Edition (New in Box) on eBay (end time 25-Jul-10 07:38:12 BST)

I started a thread the other day about the same deal on ebay of £230 for the 700 combo being sold under a different ebay username also with no feedback, after further enquiries it was removed by ebay for being fraudulent. Surely this is the same guy with a different username? the ebay advert is identical.

There is no way i'd be getting involved in this, it definately seems like a scam to me.

I'd be interested to know if you receive the heli or get your money back, Good luck!

Ok in the interests of solving this i have commited to buy one but will not pay for it,balls in his and ebays court until they prove to me its a 100% genuine item.

If its a scam which it almost 100% is then it will all fall thru,if its not then he owes me one 700N combo for £230 thanks very much.

It forces him into dialouge with me about payment and i can question him some more,i will keep a report on the progress going in this thread.

[ChrisB]

Ok nothing yet but i have emailed him asking for a picture of the heli kit taken in a particular way so he cant pull one from Google images but he could do if he had them sat there,confirmation of method of postage to the UK along with ensuring it will be trackable and fully insured against loss or damage.

Also i have asked him to confirm exactly that the auction is for the exact items it implies all new and boxed ex works.

An empty box would not be acceptable.

Even if he comes back with acceptable details of the above before i would even consider paypal`ing him i will then flag it up with Ebay bringing up his other auctions that were removed and asking them for 100% assurance that if i pay for it and it goes tits up they will fully reimburse me as their buyers protection implies.

I think that, seeing as he's listed it in the motorcycle clothing and helmets category, this alone would make me question the sale.



Mind you, some do like to wear their canopies.

[sacko]

Do it!!

[spunkmyer]

Ebay, why!!!!. Some good sellers but way to many scammers, I would expect to pay 400-500 for a second 700 trex from a good seller with good feedback. But I never buy from Ebay anymore.

Stay away and dont trust Paypal either!!

[ChrisB]

Couldnt string him along for too long chaps,its all over.......

This is the fifth ebay account i've seen with no feedback trying to sell the same 700 combo with the same advert... everyone knows its a scam, why is he still trying? unbelievable!

Lost all faith in ebay tbh.

[R1stu]

I think thats a different dealer mate . He has nearly 5000 feedback , his rating is not that great though i think it was only 91% , but it looks more genuine than the last joker . Rob .
