$99 generator with free delivery that should be 1000 with freight? dodgy seller?

[ammie636rocks]

a member who just joined is selling a generator very cheap. it should be 10x the price with you paying for freight. he has 0 feedback and just joined.

if i was to buy the item for the buy it now price what protection do i have using paypal?

could my payment be held up through ebay for weeks while i get a refund or is it usual for new sellers to lit big items like this cheap just to get some good feedback? ive seen a few from new sellers that are too unbelievably cheap with free freight and im 400kms out of sydney!

any advice apreciated thanks team!

Hi, item number would help us to advise on it. If they are a new member, funds paid to them are usually held in ''trust'' for several days just to make sure the sale goes through. Seems too cheap though, could be a copy and paste job to catch the unwary. Under no circumstances pay by bank deposit if requested, only paypal, but give us a look at it. I have lots of exp with small enging stuff on here.

It's a common scam to sell high priced items at a low cost so gullible members buy it,(this is one such scam).

The way to deal with these is to report them,(not buy them).

It's up to you but you will not get a $999 GenTrax generator for $99 with free postage,(at least they are only

"selling" one).

They've even used the same photo from the $999 genuine item,(just cropped out all the banners).

What tazz said but you could send a message asking, just in case they made a typo. 99 instead of 999.

Complete scam.

After it sold: This listing (**********) has been removed, or this item isn't available.

So who ever bought it will now find out how long it takes to get their money back,

Was selling with free postage...........from Nigeria that must have been.
