hi guys

 i just bought an item at a ridiculously low price (200$ with free postage) while fair market price should be somewhere around 600$.

basically it is a ferrari resin model made by bbr and i check the detailed description and make sure everthing is ok, i paid via paypal and the item support paypal money back policy as well. the feedback of this seller is 100% and it seems fine but i am still worried since it is almost impossible to buy such a bargain!! i am quite good at model cars and there is no way they make something copycat to replace the authentic ones, so what should i do? is this fake for obvious reasons or should i wait since the seller just mark it as shipped?

The problem is that follow up feedback has to be carefully worded as any mention of a dispute means it will be

I've also reported the one selling the MR model and various other cars,(26 in total at $139 to $199).

actually this seller owned a number of other IDs to do the same trick, the exact reason why i found this is that the item he copied is actually a partnership product whose selling right  exclusively belongs to the original seller which i actually knew. so that's why i caught him. 

now the case is closed, and paypal sent me the email which said that refund would be available in my account within 5 days and they would take some necessary actions against the scammer. 

i guess the biggest lesson here is what others said before, if the item is too good to be true, then avoid it. 

thx guys i really appreciate your help during this incident.  once again, thx very much. Smiley Very Happy
