    Hacked account maybe? All their feedback is for items like Ralph Lauren shirts (bar one Macbook)...now they're selling a bunch of WiiU/3DS XL consoles at less than retail, plus PS3s/Samsung phones...I'm gonna be wary on this one.

    He takes payments through pay pal so there is some security that way. Might give it a go sure and see what happens.

    Best of luck with that...

    Ah well its done now. I know if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

    But nothing ventured and all.

    There's nothing safer than buying on ebay with paypal. I know as I've been screwed over before (as a seller) Ebay always decide in favor of the buyer.

    The seller does look suspicious though.

    No feedback from any of the new listings.

    Prices seem a bit too good to be true (especially because he will have ebay fees)

    The business name is "Trend Buzz" seems like something a scammer would make up.

    Postage cost to Ireland seems too low for a high value item that is not coming from a big business. Normally it would be at least 20 pounds with tracking.


    Your money is safe as it will get refunded unless he can prove delivery, but honestly I don't expect you to receive anything :)

    Yeah I've had all those thoughts and I wouldn't have even given it a second thought if PayPal wasn't involved.

    But I felt like a bit of a gamble. Worst case scenario I'm out a few euro for few months. Best case I get Wii U for next to nothing.

    Yep it was a scam. Got my money back today.

    In the meantime I got one for €20 cheaper off of amazon when they had a sale.

    You can get the wii u premium pack on asda for £199!, get it through flubit and you'd probably get it for €200 inc delivery via parcel motel...

    Now it's out of stock but I'd say its back in stock soon enough...

    Interesting, personally I would buy a basic pack off amazon for £149 which is around €170 with delivery.
