Hi everyone,
I have been using ebay for a long time and have got some amazing deals. I have come across the below listing and I am concerned it maybe fraudulent and was wondering if you could help.
THis seller is new to ebay as of the 17/09/2012 (no feedback) and only has one item for sale but has 8 of those items and has sold 6 and has 2 left. He is located in WA, Australia and is offering free shipping and the price for the item is about half that of other listings...... Actually just typing this has made me think, what am I thinking, of course it is FRAUD.... :))
Anyway...what do you think

They're pretty classic warning signs - you may wish to post this in the hijack hunters thread as well (it might help get it reported and removed faster if others agree it's a scam listing).

All that I can tell you is the seller lives in country WA so presumably that makes it harder for them to obtain stock.

I have reported it as it does have the classic signs.

Thanks all for your fast replies. Yes I see he has sold all of them now. It will be interesting to see the outcome. If he is not a fraud I have missed out on a bargain..... Better to be safe then sorry and I guess this is how they get ya... ๐
