SCAMS from China - Fur / winter / goose down jackets

[highland_cat]

Just a particularly HUGE amount of this going on folks which ppl are bidding on, and no they ain't clearing out excess stock cos its the end of the year -  hey this can happen with legit sellers but NOT in this case:

Don't bid: zero feedback sellers from China who are selling warm winter coats etc

Ok might sound like a no brainer, but then EOFY and all... I've actually got some legit stuff this way in the past.

This ain't, you have been advised 🙂

I keep reporting them but they keep posting more... busy little bees.

...and of course if you have been and "bought" one and paid already, please file a claim with paypal - non receipt of item and state in comments that it is a scam. Oh and please report the item to alert other scamees.

Photos are often of "Ferrand" items, orange goose down jackets with hoods, generic fur coat pics etc.

And you're kind of lucky in a way you didn't buy these items, just google for: chinese racoon fur dogs skinned alive, to find out why, and consider avoiding fur generally.

Could someone please explain what they are saying ... I ain't no understanding it

Scams are rip offs, right?

There are a huge number of listings of a particular scam at present as detailed above, (though a lot less after I reported some and ebay removed them)

eg. a seller makes multiple listings for various winter coats, only they don't exist.

eBay users bid on them, and pay for them, only they never come, because they never existed.

Hence, my alert to (mainly newer users), and others to be aware, and what to do if they got scammed.

and if you don't understand this post either, never mind.

rocks and sunglasses for the past three years!

Jeez! Who buys goosedown jackets in Australia, let alone late December in Australia! It is making me itch, just thinking of it.

Maybe a person that is travelling abroad? Or someone who just likes fluffy things lol..

Or somebody buying out of season?

I haven't the heart to google it. I can  imagine. That is just terrible.
