An odd way to do business (Oz eBay)

[milov]

This seller is trying to get people to purchase Rolex he does not yet own. He claims to have several sales lined up with a US dealer which he will bring back to Melbourne at a later date. Providing the eBay customer pays for them first.

The sales have already been taken down once. He does not seem to understand that 'pre-sales' are not permitted on eBay.

Even if he was legit, I wonder he is planning on paying import duties. I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to smuggle in several new watches and boxes. Also, with the AUD at such a low right now, profits would be minimal.

In all fairness, there are plenty of dealers that sell consigned goods on eBay - goods that they don’t necessarily have in hand. That being said, I wouldn’t buy from this seller anyway.
