It's from a "POWN SHOP" must be real! "Refund make by cash back" What more could you ask for? Makes me feel warm and fuzzy. NOT!

Look at the answer to the first question at the bottom of the page. The seller apologizes for his "incontinence!" I think that might be your best feedback!

Because I am the one who emailed them to come to their "pown shop" and bring a watchmaker with me to open it and see if it is real before I purchased it.

I would drive the 5 hours to get it.

They refused and said they have a money back guarantee and that I could not do that.

Just a scam.

This is the reason why I am having such a hard time find a decent one that isn't brand new.

So many scams makes you extremely paranoid.

FleeBay and PayPan are silent partners to the scams. They get their cut and know nothing wile blowing safe harbor/ power hustler safety guaranties.
I would venture a guess that a good majority if the suckers don’t even know they have been had and leave a glowing feedback for the platinum power hustler.

These same fools are the ones that in a few years will tell you they had a Rolex and it was not any better than a watch costing $100. Some post on the interweb.

Comparing this scam to established ebay sellers selling legit watches is unfair and you know it.

Many people have purchased one and got a great deal from established sellers.

I have purchased many items over $2000 and never had a problem.

If you are afraid of ebay, that is fine, you have a choice, but don't use scare tactics to scare people into buying a Rolex at an AD for a 10-20% premium.

Saying Ebay and paypal are scams is just ignorant talk. I fully trust the system, and their are new rules going in place very soon that will stop sellers from giving buyer's feedback.

Buyers will soon be the only people allowed to give feedback.

They dropped the other listing and started another one here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=001

They also used pictures from topnotchwatch on ebay I think.

Thos pictures are not from that watch. Can anyone help me report them.

that sure is brazen,he didnt even wait a couple of weeks before going at it again.
if someone sends them that kind of money to someone with zero feedback then I am sorry but they are born suckers and deserve it,or they are so greedy that they just cant pass up the possibility that it is a real deal and deserve it as well.
what scumbags.
