What's up with these identicle listings? I tried to buy this but instead got a refund and non-sensical excuse,"item defective, returned to factory" all very fishy. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Corgi-Major-Toys-Carrimore-Car-Transporter-Incomplete-With-Damage-Used/3... and https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Corgi-Major-Toys-Carrimore-Car-Transporter-Incomplete-With-Damage/402664...

UPDATE: I thought I was being generous when I left neutral feedback but the seller asked for a revision. Again communications seemed to be cut-and-paste and not appropriate to the circumstances. Item has now been listed again [now Queensland] under a third user account https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/203268429179?ul_noapp=true and https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Corgi-Major-Toys-Carrimore-Car-Transporter-Incomplete-With-Damage-Used/3... and the user account I tried to buy from https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/torim-78?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 . It just gets more confusing?

As a fellow collector, don't buy. Seriously, don't go there. They are dodgy as. I'm guessing one seller is genuine, and the others have copied the listing, but it's anyone's guess who is the genuine one. If you buy, you will probably be sent a feather or something.
Interesting that the Qld seller has a price of $13 with $5 postage. The minimun postage for that item is $8.95. Tack another few bucks on their price, and they don't stand to gain much.

Don't revise. In fact I am starting to think a neg could have been deserved.
But just don't communicate any more with the person, whoever it is.
Two identical listings (as far as photos go) of an individual, one off type item, in locations very close to each other could possibly be explained by different family members having a go at putting up an ad. But let's have a look at what you have here.
Zero feedback sellers and now a different one popping up in Qld?
I'm with Tippy on this one, avoid like the plague.
