I've learned not to use anybody on ebay that don't except pay pal. That is the radio I want, but if they don't except pay pal then something is wrong and ebay will warn you not to use them.

Yeah if they are using a OE picture and not a picture of the acctual product somthings wrong. Also I noticed most of the time the scams are coming from over seas so I would avoid over seas auctions all together. I had one I bid on a computer and ebay ended the auction and sent me a notice that this was a high jacked ebay account. They steal your account info and list auctions under you name so to use your positive feedback. I have been buying and selling on ebay for quite a few years now. If somthing is to good to be to true it most likely is.

Right on bro!!

 

What was it anyway?

And I do agree, if it's too good to be true, then do not risk your money...and no need to ask me how I know this.

 

In that sort of case, send a message to the buyer. Ask several questions, and ask them to explain in detail why they can't come up with the real picture.

Honestly, I wouldn't trust non-paypal auctions, but I was buying stuff before paypal was integrated on ebay. The last item I got was a set of vitara pistons, sent the cashier's check, got perfect unused set of pistons/rings for $30 less than normal.

BTW, what was that item, service, or whatever? It was deleted before I looked.

 

it was the new Alpine Touchscreen indash dvd. It sells for 1000 and I won the auction at $300. I have spoken with the seller and he even provided a phone number. Seems weird cause he said he would take any currency? hummm. I haven't paid yet, and I don't think I will.

 

Update: Went to check my messages and got this:

Can't believe you even contemplated paying.

LOL!! My friend not too long ago bought a Pioneer indash DVD that sells for like $1500 or whatever. He paid for it $500, and the seller was in Greece. And this is how the story ends.

 

OK??????? I take it he never received it, I guess???

I NEVER paid for the item. I stated that before. I actually told the bastard to send me the item and I would pay COD. LOL. He obviously refused.
