    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..

    Already ordered the MK808 and was thinking about the tablet.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭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


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭ITS_A_BADGER


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

    Edit: Its a trap


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Definitely a scam.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,687 ✭✭✭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.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭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.

    Did anything come of this?

    I ordered the tablet, but opened a paypal dispute straight away after i read this thread.
    Got a tracking number from them and it's sitting in the sorting office at the moment.

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,748 ✭✭✭Do-more


    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

    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..
