From a seller with 2 feedback?...do me a favor
Private messaged him, he is re-listing it. I offered to go to him and pay cash get it verified at a dealer too. He wont!Originally Posted by cirotti
Smells bad to me.
I suggest that you run from this ‘deal’ and when you have ran, run some more!
Oh, in such a case, it smells badly. Definitely would stay away of this deal.
Why do these people bother?
To where there is no internet?:-)
And once you have ran some more and are completely out of breath, stop for a quick rest behind the old oak tree. Once you feel like you have some more energy then keep on running! Hopefully by now you are lost and you cannot find your way back to this seller.

So he can scam a second victim no doubt.
Not saying it's legit (I wouldn't buy based on sellers 2 feedback), but I personally have a perfect track record on eBay over 10 years with 100% feedback and would also decline your offer to meet in person and do cash. Unfortunately suspicion is a two way street, from his perspective he doesn't know you're legit either!
You do occasionally get lucky...
I was looking for a set of art books for a year or so; they’re very rare and sell for around £1500.
One day a mint set popped up from a private individual seller and we was thrilled to get £100 for them!
They now have pride of place in my collection.
Otherwise agree I’d never sell anything on eBay personally. I’ve had *nothing* but good buying experiences there though, and I buy a lot (but maybe there’s less fraud in the art book world, which is where most of my eBay £’s go, compared to sellers of watches and tech).
Think that’s very true. Watches and phones (for example) attract the worst types. Other stuff, like camera equipment, far less - your books even less risky.
Agreed.
Hey there! Why don’t you bring that expensive watch of yours to a meeting with a complete stranger you met online with no guarantees of safety and then, even if he isn’t going to rob you, accompany him to a shop so that he can decide whether or not to pay you an absolute bargain basement price on your watch. If he doesn’t want it, it’s just a trip out and a jolly around town to hawk your wares during a pandemic!
As above, bad vibes from the seller as a buyer but if I was the seller I’d run a mile!
I don't necessarily agree with this. It should be ok to meet in a safe public location, of the sellers choosing, so that the buyer can see the watch and decide if they would like to buy it. Bring a friend or two if available. One shouldn't assume that they are going to be robbed. With this thinking, why would you ever risk wearing the watch in public?
I know ebay would have a problem with the transaction occurring in a way that would prevent them getting their fees, but that's a separate issue.
Nice price. But I am sure some other will pop up again.
The old adage, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I’ve had some great deals on eBay however it’s always high risk buying from an individual

@OllieG could not agree more.
The best way to buy something in ebay is to check for a seller with more than 500 sales, more than 5 years and almost zero negative feedbacks. You can start with this level to reduce the risk. Ah.. also local, not from other continent or something like that. That are the main recommendations!

In my experience, sellers tend to cancel the deal if you get too much of a bargain, either with some flimsy excuse or simply by saying "The price was not what I was hoping for", and just take the bad feedback if it comes to that. Understandable in a way, but also goes against the "spirit" of an auction IMO. If you want to make sure you get at least a certain amount of money for your object, there are payable options for that.
Kinhell!!! If it’s too good to be true.’it is this joker ended listing early as he shat his pants.simple as it happens

You should of course take appropriate precautions, but I find most people just want to conduct a deal. I’ve had people come and collect stuff from my house before, admittedly not high value.
Absolutely - when I sold a motorbike on Ebay to a fella I didn't know - I moved my other bikes to my neighbour's garage beforehand.
He appeared totally honest and genuine, but I didn't need him even mentioning to any pals about the guy who sold him the bike, and that I had XXXXX, XXXXX and XXXXX too.
