    It's a scam.

    The whole add is an externally hosted image so they change it afterwords.

    From Bar Towels to 360 Elites?

    Something a bit dodge there methinks...

    Worth noting that every single person who has purchased from that seller and left good feedback has either private or 0 feedback themselves.



    Personally, I think it has con job written all over it.

    Everything on the site is €54 buy it now!

    Gotta be something wrong with that, saw Nokia N95 unlocked for €54, 50" plasma TV etc - no way!!

    Even better, free P&P

    So who's gonna risk it and tell the rest of us when they get their product...:P

    I thought it might be one alright.

    Can they really change the ad/item afterwards? - That would make it impossible to win a paypal case too I'd say!

    Standard Scam. This thread should be locked immediately as no doubt there will be some fool that will take the bait :(

    I was wondering about that, what would be the point of a scam site with Paypal as you would not receive the funds from EBAY - feel sorry for anyone falling for this - then again 50" plasma for €54 with free P&P - suppose any buyer deserves whatever is coming to them (and it's definitely not a TV!)

    Paypal scams are easy as pie. You just make two Paypal acounts and as soon as you get the money you transfer it to the other account. Paypal can only reward the person who was scammed money out of the account in which he paid the money into. However, this account would be empty as the scammer would transfer money out of it instantly, therefore, even if you did win a Paypal dispute, you'd never see any dosh coming your way.


    Personally, i think this thread shouldn't be locked, and should be moved to online buying and stickied for a week or two. Anyone who sees the thread on here is bound to read at least one or two of the replies before bidding.


    EDIT: Reported it to eBay.

    By the way do these "Garda/Court Auctions" actually exist?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,734 ✭✭✭zarquon


    Also looking at his previous sales, they were all generated at exactly the same time and date, so obviously a bot generated sale and feedback...
