Too good to be true?

Google search of some of the not-very-good English used in the listing brings back other prior listings under different user names that are/were clearly scams.

All feedback is as a buyer, non as a seller yet?
Free shipping yet?

That's what I thought, but I bit anyway.

It shows that the listing has ended, with 49 sold.

So if it is a scam, which I believe it is, then the scammers have just walked away with almost $5,000 (for this item alone - a look at the other items that the seller had listed shows other too-good deals, so they are potentially walking away with a whole lot more). If the scammers are clever then they will have emptied their bank account (if PayPal hasn't put a hold on it) with each incoming order, but PayPal will make the buyers whole, so PayPal will be out a pile of $$.

If something is too good to be true, then it probably is.

Ebay have caught it and put a hold on all his transactions.

Yeah, I recieved a notification too.

If the seller is trying to scam buyers, he lacked the planning.
Ebay/Paypal has new rules, if sellers has less feedback they only get their money after 21 days or until they provide a tracking numbers.

I was really hoping it was good :-)
