Wondering what the catch is as seems way too good to be true?

EDIT.

The account is hacked. Was selling Hoodies up to yesterday, also other accounts have been lying dormant since september. All of a sudden are selling all of these "too good to be true" items..

Yeah.

He was shut down as a different name/seller three weeks ago.

Eventually everyone had to ask for their money back.
He's also selling the MK808 for €12.65

You could try it, but my money is on some sort of scam..

paulztag

Already ordered the MK808 and was thinking about the tablet.

jesus seems great alright, im not really sure about it tho

paulztag

ya win7 wouldn't work that well.

says "support WIN7 and Android double system".

Suppose worst that can happen is that I'll have to get paypal to refund my money

Allyall

The seller will be shut down within 3/5 days. you then have 45 days to wait for the item or open a dispute.

So if the item hasn't come in 35 days, open dispute (By the way, three people argued about the 45 day policy, one saying it's only 30 days - which is roughly the same length of time it takes to be delivered from China.) go through all the motions, and end up with your money back, which will probably be a pain in the ass for some people.

I think the scam lies therein. He is optimistic that many people won't chase €12.65 and some won't chase €35.

Personally, after the previous three, i wouldn't touch it.

As someone who buys MK808's from suppliers direct - I can't imagine this is legit. No way would he get that price, never mind getting it cheap enough to cover Ebay fees and profit.

Scam.

ITS_A_BADGER

ya no what for 25 quid its worth a gamble i guess

Edit: Its a trap

TerrorFirmer

Definitely a scam.

Allyall

This guy has hundreds of wordpress sites, Cheap money off sites, free hosted sites, blogs, and ebay profiles..

Probably gave himself a lot of the 208 stars, and sold some genuine objects. It can be a pain in the ass trying to get money back from these. He is banking on you giving up..

IT IS NOT WORTH A SHOT.

After looking a bit into the other one, and reading other forums that posted info about these scams, I recommend everyone stay away.

Media999

Ebay shuts down a lot of accounts even if theyre not a scam. I sold an MP3 player a few years back on EBAY for 80 quid. Just as i posted it they blocked my account saying i didnt have the item as its an item thats commonly used in a scam.

They demanded a photo of me holding the MP3 player as proof i really have it!!

As i had just posted i couldnt get one and then started getting bad reviews as the buyer was convinced it was a scam. From his end it looked that way as i couldnt contact him.

Left me with a blocked account and accounts just keep getting blocked as soon as i type in my details to open new account.

Paypal and Ebay have the worst employees in the world and ALWAYS favour the buyer rather than seller.

Edit - not saying this isnt a scam but just letting you know. In fact its 100% a scam as an easy way to check is wether its on Aliexpress for the same price. Aliexpress only releases the funds after confirming delivery so people dont get hit with this scam.

Alanstrainor

Definite scam. Even the license for windows 7 should be more than that. Even if it's just Win7 starter.

Allyall

Here is another one. Look at his items for sale..

Western Digital 4TB My Book Essential. - $32.99

http://www.ebay.com/sch/zhush1986/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

Stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away stay away

And another

if its too good to be true, then it usually is.

Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow,:rolleyes:

just, for example, there's a telephone book in the parcel, what are my chances of a refund from paypal.
I have received a potential fraud message from the "Ebay loss prevention department"

Hadn't heard anything about it so I opened a paypal case yesterday. Nothing back yet though. Be very interested to see if you actually get the item.

Yeah I'd look to open it in the post office before signing for it.

That mightn't be possible, it'll probably come in through work with a number of other parcels, signed for by the security guard.

I'll stick it back up on ebay:D

Dats_Dope

Ya i brought one as well and the same as you they got a tracking number from him, If paypal sees all the disputes about the seller would they not cop on like? what if a parcel does arrive do i sign or refuse it

The Mulk

I'll update tomorrow, if it comes in, and if there's any hassle i'll e-mail Paypal again and let you know the outcome

It was signed by courier/security as it was with a number of parcels to this address

Jarren

Sorry to hear it

Get Paypal to do chargeback asap

Hate scammers :mad:

The Mulk

I opened a dispute as soon as ebay closed the listing, so i sent paypal all the details from this mornings delivery.

I hope they hurry up and refund me because there's a guy on ebay selling air guitars and I want one;)

Scum bags. sorry to hear that. I have been waiting on a few MK808's with remote since the 7th. Received an email from ebay yesterday saying that it has been removed. Opened a dispute that was escalated to a claim straight away.. :mad::mad:

To make matters worse i found the remote on a trusted site for €14 and the MK808 on the same site for €35. So i would have got peace of mind included for the extra €8. I don't normally buy from ebay, but i got sucked in to this because tons of people were buying and the seller wasn't selling loads of other crɐp in his store.

I received an email again today from ebay stating it was sent 20 hours before and telling me to reply in a certain time, Paypal respond was down. This sort of sh!t has me panicking that my cash is going..

The Mulk

Got a paypal refund, in full.:)

Although I had to send the item back, cost me €5:17. for registered post.
I probably could have sent it back a cheaper way but wasn't sure.

Got an e-mail from them looking for proof today even though I had given them the track and trace number.
I sent them a scanned copy of the registered post book, stamped by the post office.
I rang paypal about an hour later and they said the case was closed, full refund.
The bloke on the phone was sound and I told him the full story, so he put a block on the Paypal account.

Lesson learned.

(Gonna hit Focalprice now)

So what do you think i should do then? should i refuse to sign for the parcel at the door or should i sign for it and open it and send it back as proof it was fake? Glad you got sorted dude, i hate when ****e like this wastes time and money

Glad you got your money back. You had to send the item back though? To the scammer? Don't understand why they'd want you to do that

frankmul

I got caught before on eBay by a scam, when I opened a dispute with PayPal, they found in my favour for the case but could not give me back my money as the PayPal account was closed? I ended up going through chargeback on my credit card. I had to wait 60 days but it was cleared up by the bank in about 2 days. I advise people now to link their credit card to PayPal. Double the protection.

They probably wanted to cover all angles, in case he argued it was a genuine mistake maybe?
I just had to show proof of postage. They never waited to see if he got it.

Dats_Dope

Well this is what i got today :mad:

hmm i might ring them tomorrow so, they just asked me for tracking number and then they sent me a email saying they would refund once its delivered, Hopefully this scumbag didnt enjoy the chinese new year

If you don't send it back can you do a chargeback through your credit card instead? Why should the buyer be left out of pocket for the postage costs when the item is not what was ordered?

duno what that is? i payed with paypal and asked them to refund me from day 1 but got the earrings in the post today, It did cost 5.16 to send it back i suppose 20 back and the knowledge that this ****er didnt get money off me is the main driving force now

witnessmenow

It doesnt even look like paypal care about what tracking number you provide ....

okidoki987

These guys try these scams because all they need is 1 out of 1000 not to bother trying to get their money back and they get the money.

Dats_Dope

Bah just to update, rang paypal today because the damn claim went back a step, explained to them that he sent me earrings instead of a tablet PC, it was like it was the first time they heard that when i wrote it on the claim a couple of weeks ago, anyway i explained the whole thing to him about getting an email from ebay saying the seller removed the item etc and that he sent me a pair of earrings and that i sent them back to that address he gave, seems all paypal are waiting for now is an attempt at delivery or a delivery and i get my money back then, i dont really care tbh its just 25eur but its down to pride now :mad:
