Need help - ebay seller with prices too good to be true
Hi,
I can use some help. There is an ebay seller: allstarjef4ydp He is doing private deal bids on ebay. I attached a link below where some of the watch listings are. $3000 buy it now for a pre-owned BLNR with boxes and papers "mint condition". Got an email from the guy looking for bankwire to Italy for payment. Sounds sketchy. Anyone have any history on this? THanks!! https://www.ebay.com/sch/Jewelry-Wat...pg=50&_fosrp=1 |

Saw the same thing few weeks ago. The listing was removed after few hours. EBay sucks so stay away if you can. I am sure they got lot of addresses or people details before EBay did anything.

If it sounds too good to be true, it’s probably because it is. Run!!

Damn. Sounded too good to be true. However, I got an invoice through ebay and everything. Should I just ignore it now or contact ebay? Thanks!!

Ignore. It’s not from eBay. The site you visited and added your address is a phishing site and not hosted by eBay.

I got an invoice from [email protected] and an email correspondence from the seller. However, when I am logged in on ebay I don't see any winning bids, transactions, etc. I emailed the whole thing to [email protected] |

Yes, Just like last time. My concern is that EBay allows these kinds of listing with links that are not EBay. A company that calls itself doing great Engineering works is the last in the pack. Like Facebook can’t control Fake News.

as you know, you can reverse Google phots and see if they are from somewhere else before. FYI.
