I almost got Scammed !

[mojjax]

I went to the beach on Tuesday , people were pulling around Folding Wagon Carts with their stuff in them .
The next morning I looked them up on ebay . They were going for $40 to $60 . I clicked on ''shipping & price lowest first ''
One came up for $15.38 buy it now - free shipping , so I bought it ,the seller has zero feed back (Hey , we all had zero when we first started )
. That afternoon it said it was Shipped (no tracking #) I get up this morning to check the progress - Ebay gave me this -

That happened to me on a cue stick several years ago. Somehow, the seller got my phone number and called to harass me stating that I am messing up her feedback rating and why did I turn her in and that this was a legit auction, etc. I explained to her that I did nothing and that ebay cancelled the sale. She didn't believe me.

So I clicked on his seller name , He joined Aug. 22 , I purchased it Aug 23 , today he is booted from ebay .

So I search ebay today for Folding Wagon Cart and there is a nicer one for $15.99 , bin , free shipping ,with a different user name.

The seller just joined ebay yesterday - zero feedback . So , I called Ebay , told them my suspisions . She opened a case for me & thanked me for the tip . An hour later Ebay closed the case and refunded my $15.38

This is the one I'm suspicious of - same MO - looks like he sold 3 today . How can that be free shipping ?

Sounds to me it would be better for peace of mind to get your folding wagon cart at a store, or at least Amazon.

 

[mojjax]

Yeah , sometimes things are to good to be true .

That was a quick case !

I bought something with that exact message from Ebay. I had already paid for it. AND I got the merchandise exactly as described five days later. Go figure.

 

[mojjax]

Cool ! maybe I'll still get my cart .

 

[miboje]

Yeah, I would think the shipping alone might be around $10.
I had that happen once too. Then I had one where I bought something and never got it. She did it to one other person. Two negs, but she was still selling last time I looked.

I just clicked that and it was removed too.

My curiosity is way up right now on the item you're interested in. Is there a link to something like this you're interested in?

 

[mojjax]

check these out in the sold listings - I think they most of them are fake sellers .

[DeepseekerADS]

That link I mentioned above that didn't work for me yesterday - came up today with a 0 found but here's others - at much more than $15 plus.

I could see where that might come in handy, but not at the much higher prices. Had it been the $15, I might have impulse purchased that thing just in case someday

Hello All, I've seen this before on Amazon.
Seller offers an outlandish price and sells as many as possible in a short period of time with no intention of ever shipping.
Collects what he can and shuts down his account.
Starts a similar listing with a new user name and Amazon or E-bay then have to recoup the Buyers losses.

Only thing that get's me is that with E-bay, your money is not available to you thru Pay-Pal for like 30 days or more when you first start listing.
Maybe there is a new way around this? Or a hack of some type... Usually an overseas Seller...

What kind of cue stick? I'm a player.
