Ebay scam

[John Lever]

Beware of a scam on ebay. I got caught this week but was able to contact ebay straight away so got a paypal refund.
The scammers clone a previous add for a desirable jacket in my case it was a Real McCoy's B3, the BIN is low so it's very tempting. My jacket was listed as being in Germany but the seller was in India.
Here's a current scam for an Anj4

I have reported it to ebay

Let's hope eBay get their finger out & remove the listing.

Thanks for posting John, glad you got your refund.

What happens if you buy this? With no feedback, they can't get the money anyway so what's the point of even listing the thing?

Thanks for the heads up, John.

They can and did get my money.

It's still up and active.

The more people report it then it might get removed

They just accepted a crazy offer from me for the ANJ4...I've reported it to eBay & sent the seller a message..

 

[Peacoat]

Evidently that took it off the board; it is showing as "Auction Ended."

What did you offer ?

 

[bn1966]

Did you get a bargain?

 

[Peter Mackin]

What did you offer ?

250....accepted within minutes....& reported within seconds..also let the seller know in no uncertain terms that he was rumbled.

Did you lose the money or claim it straight back from PayPal ?

I didn't pay for it John...I had read your alert & wanted to see if he would bite.

 

[John Lever]

The biter bit !
Expect him now to report you as a non payer, that's what he did to me.

I saw that, the only reason I had no interest was it has the button pockets.
Here's another scam I think.

The jackets look superb for the price till you see the photo shop label. Any ideas who's photo's they use?

This pic looks like it was ripped off from US Authentic.

Paypal told me they always side with the buyer unless the seller uses tracked signed for postage with proof of delivery. Useful information for sellers.

But what happens if the seller sends a tracked empty box? That once happened to me with a very expensive camera I had ordered. The tracked UPS box was filled with sandbags- and no camera.
