Too cheap items

audistarelectronics — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 23:14:53 GMT

Hi all, just found this listing, a new one selling THL mobile for well under the going price, and with under 20 FB score. These are selling for 4 times this amount from Hong Kong, but this claims to be here in Aust. Also has 80cm tv for under $100. Our dollar must have gone through the roof. lol.

271669303762

Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.

I would steer clear - no transactions for a long time, then a couple new feedback.

Maybe hijacked account, I don't know much about these things, others more knowledgable will be along shortly....

Check out this crook and all his underpriced wares... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/100-9-7inch-v989-Octa-Core-Tablet-PC-GPS-2GB-32GB-Android-4-4-OS-8-0MP-Go-Karts-/121485295860?pt=AU_PocketBikes&hash=item1c491680f4

And what's worse, people are actually buying his stuff and expecting to get it! I've given up reporting these mongrels, and anybody who gets stung deserves it IMO, when greed takes place of common sense.

cq, it just never ceases to amaze me how numb people are. Don't they stop & think, hey that's looks too good to be true !!!! Obviously not !!! shakes head & says, well if they buy it, it's their own fault for getting ripped off. A fool & their $$ are soon parted.

Check out the language in the last 2 feedbacks from low fb buyers. "Project"?

It just goes to show that people don't read a sellers feedback, even when it shows at 84%. In fact, how is someone able to list something with a feedback score of 84%?

36 bids??????

I have learned from buying from (reputable) Chinese sellers that 'item' in Chinese translates to 'project' in English. My guess is those 'buyers' used a translator to write their feedback.

Interesting that they've gone from selling Mills and Boon to dodgy electronics. Screams hacked to me!

Yeap,

the old saying if to good to be true then it aint, as a seller of the THL 5000 phone, and able to get the best wholesale prices, could never get them for that price, otherwise would be making a killing instead of a couple of bucks per sale. Makes you wonder why bother being honest when you can make big bucks quickly by sucking in the punters, and at those prices, probably hardly anyone bothers to try and reclaim payments from paypal, if that account still exists.

horizon1907 — Sat, 15 Nov 2014 03:32:52 GMT

Unbelievable. and ebay do NOTHING. Reporting is utterly useless. Shakes head & thinks to myself, ebay get your act together and do something !!!!! Yet people still fall for this scam.

Re: Too cheap items

ausbargainbasement — Sat, 15 Nov 2014 03:59:35 GMT

If i thought these deals were for real as a seller of these products, would buy all thier stock, and sell on my store at the real prices, and make me a killing !!!!

Reported the seller an hour ago, and they are gone as of now. Good one ebay, just keep it up, plenty more out there trying the same game. Suppose they will just pop up again out of another hole in this huge universe.
