10" Android 2.2 Pad for €20 delivered!

    Hi
    Here's an Android 2.2 Pad I found on ebay last night.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120743506241

    Definitely to be approached with caution. After a beer or three I bought one with Paypal figuring I'd get me money back if (when) this goes wrong. As of this morning my payment still had'nt been collected by the vendor.
    As of the time of posting 43 sold and 7 available.
    Doesn't seem to be the usual link to where you can get info as to WHERE you can get one for the price, seems to be an actual product. :confused:

    Seller with absolutely no feedback. Seems totally legit to me.

    Its very easy for Sellers to scam you on eBay.

    All they have to do is send you something in the post that needs to be signed for e.g a small jiffy bag with a trinket in it. You then open a dispute with Paypal and you will be told to send back said trinket with proof of delivery.

    As the cost of postage will be almost as expensive as the amount of your claim its not really worth while.

    ebay rule #1: if it's too good to be true, it's probably not true.

    Its a bold strategy. Lets see if it pays off.

    Its the oldest scam in the book, Sell a new Android tablet at a 90% discount and then charge 4 grand for delivery for the all important earphones that go with it.

    Totally agree. Thats why I never buy anything from anybody without at least 99% positive feedback and a lot of sales.
    Also if I buy something from China it's never for a high value so if it's broken or breaks I put it down to bad luck (or from buying cheap crap from China :D)

    On the other hand this Android Pad (all sold now after a quick flurry of activity ater I posted) seems to be from the UK. This is just a strange sale. There is a chance the seller got a decimal point in the wrong place and will find out when he next logs on :eek:

    Actually never knew that part before, that if the item isn't as described the BUYER is still responsible for the cost of sending the item back and isn't covered by the ebay buyer protection

    Jaysus I don't know. Seems legit to me.

    I mean he uses different colour fonts in the description and everything.

    No you won't, Paypal only takes the money out of the sellers account to refund, if the seller has the money cleared out there's nothing to refund back.

    Lads, this is more than just an ordinary tablet - look at the description

    Special Function: Gravity inducer

    must be hot off the ISS :D

    Sure, seems totally legit!
