Usually to good to be true means to good to be true.unless it's stolen there's no way someone would sell it for 100 bucks on eBay.homestly even if they fell off the back of a truck and they got them for free why sell it on eBay?they could probly take it to any comic shop or toy shop and sell it to them for 100 bucks.thats cash in hand,no fees or shipping,so why would they go through the trouble of selling on eBay.gotta be a scam

Even back in 2008 $100 for a figure like this would be suspiciously cheap, this is a scam no doubt about it

I actually am curious about sellers who scam buyers, such as the guy here selling the mark 43 for $100. He sold eight in 24 hours. Thats about $720 once you subtract the paypal fees. What is stopping him from transferring the $680 to his bank, and going to withdraw it 3-4 days later? And once the eight buyers eventually conclude that this was a scam, ebay will refund them. When Ebay asks the seller to pay them back after refunding the buyer, the seller completely ignores them. So the seller gets $700+ dollars in his pocket and ebay gets the shaft?

Are you taking notes for your own scam auction?

Busted!

But seriously, what is stopping that from happening? I'm guessing ebay will contact the bank, and the bank will contact the police, and the guy gets charged larceny/theft?? BTW, for the guy on the board who said he purchased one from this guy, do you seriously want this kind of person to know your home address??

And the guy who actually bought from this guy was a "premium freak". Yeeeassshhh...

The listing I saw last night from said they were shipping from Arizona. The new listing says they're shipping from Florida.

Sounds fishy to me.

I believe eBay does not actually release the funds to the seller until a certain amount of time has passed, giving the buyers time to report the scam, in which case eBay will issue refunds to buyers and the seller gets nothing.....

I'm not 100% on that though but I think it works similar to that

Nothing is stopping him. You play it legit, they scam cash out with their free money, get banned from ebay/paypal. That is all, assuming its his real info maybe some debt collector letters. Police are not going to get or be involved unless its huge amounts of money

 

[GalaxySupreme]

Well he needs to use his real info to open a bank account, and paypal can contact the specific bank. And if opens a paypal debit card, I think paypal requires your social security number. (I dunno I don't have a paypal debit card). Either way paypal can find out his real information and location and report him. You sure about the police not getting involved thing? I've seen police come out to break up loud parties, I'm sure this is also something they would do.

Yeah okay and???actually a premium freak with a hell of a collection...I just bought from the guy to see what would happen it was just some left over change in my paypal account from a purchase I made yesterday

Not worried about a guy knowing my home address I got something for that fear isn't one of my traits

 

[MyenShi]

It's too bad it's not one if those Xbox box only type auctions. Though it'd be funny if you just got the Mk 42 box.

Your imagination is running wild.

There is nothing stopping it from happening. You can buy a prepaid debit card, or visa gift card, or one of those online only bank accounts (like Walmart sells) out fake info and there's a cheap untraceable way to get paypal. You can build up to ten positive feedback on eBay by buying ten 99 cent things. Or setting up two accounts and buying and selling to yourself to set up seller cred. If a complaint is filed they only need to provide a tracking number to win the intial dispute. The funds are released and they win. Even if the tracking isn't to your address. PayPal first line complaint are trained to rule in favor of seller if a tracking number to the right city is supplied. They can also mail you an envelope that's empty or a bag of poo. Then they got a packaged delivered to your address. Then you have to prove it wasn't what it was supposed to be.

I had a huge nightmare issue about five or six years ago with an eBay deal. I ended up suing paypal and ebay. It was a huge mess. I won't get into it unless anyone really wants to know. But I found out all kinda of shady shizle that paypal and eBay do in the course of the case.
