Ebay SCORE.. or robbed!
 
Hey all..

Was just surfing ebay and bought this for $61 shipped to my door.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-rc-ca...vip=true&rt=nc

Brand new with plastic still on the wrapper

$61!!


First I thought.. Stolen.. then thought he could be a first time seller that has just wasted his money.
The timing of the auction would have been late evening or early morning for the USA.

Me, being in Australia, saw it just before lunch time.


Then decided, worst case I lose $61

I cant even get postage for that figure??
Another exact same sale asked for $450 for the truck and $550 to ship it to Australia.

Well I will just sit and wait.. LOL

Hi Mate, I'm pretty curious but the link no workie? or deleted by fleabay?

Stangas 08-22-2014 11:09 PM

interesting the link doesn't work..

But he is still on ebay.. selling heaps of rc boats and cars..

The initial purchase was a AE MGT 8.0 RTR for $61 AU

I bought a brushless boat for $85 AU today also... Trailblazer Select
although I was bidding on a 3rd and it said I was only allowed 2 purchases within 10 days from this seller... otherwise I would have picked up a brushed eRevo for $120 AU

MR XW 393 08-22-2014 11:10 PM

Now that has got me curious as well!! link still no work, fix prease

Stangas 08-22-2014 11:47 PM

bit hesitant as I plan on buying another 2 off him.. LOL..

but because I am not greedy..

Just leave the F350 alone... LMFAO

Something is amiss here, I think robbed will be the most likely conclusion.

Stangas 08-23-2014 12:30 AM

definitely my first impressions..

but paypal will fix it if it is.. and I am only out of pocket $140 for 2 vehicles

mtbkym01 08-27-2014 02:17 AM

Any paypal claims made yet?

Stangas 09-02-2014 04:02 AM

This just turned up on my sales.. his account has been closed on eBay.

We had to remove this listing from the site and you're not required to complete the transaction. If you've already sent payment, the sale should process as normal and you don't have anything to worry about. If you have any questions about delivery, please check tracking or contact your seller. If you run into any trouble along the way eBay is here to help. Please visit the Resolution Centre to help resolve any problems you may encounter.


Resolution Centre looks like its gonna happen.. wait a bit longer and see :weird:

He will have probably cleaned out his Paypal account and the bank account attached to it, so they can't refund you anything.
As always, if it seems too good to be true then it is.

Stangas, did you end up receiving your product?
....or did you open a paypal dispute?

Stangas 09-24-2014 11:11 PM

started paypal dispute just yesterday

but coming from overseas.. it would only just be arriving anyway, but thought better to put it in early and proven wrong when it shows..

LOL

I am not that fussed... just a score if they do turn up

True. Better be safe than sorry. Paypal are pretty good with stuff like that.

Stangas 10-05-2014 11:47 PM

Paypal agreed with me and got a full refund this morning..

spew.. I wanted the buggies! LOL

You should always check the feedback and sales history - All bar one of his feedbacks were from a randomly generated usernames who have been removed by eBay.

Another warning sign is that all of his "purchases" from these "people", were for $0.10 or $0.20 - and all of those people were the same with each other.

Lucky you had paypal to resolve it !
