Anyone else watching this ?


Pictures of new EL Range from a seller with no feedback and will only answer questions via WhatsApp

all sounds like a scam to me and have reported to eBay but doubt they do much
 
the only way to ensure something is not stolen is to go into a shop. My point was that they are unlikely to have the product. Take the money and disappear.
Thanks what I reckon too - it doesn’t exit and as said on here these are pictures from a shop or the internet. Amazes me people are bidding and I guess hoping they can claim back from eBay or credit card when nothing arrives.

Wasn't there a trader on here that reported the theft of a set of these from a shop in recent months?
 
Here's a thread but it's from 2020!:

Plot thickens I have sent them a message - never know might have been lying low for a few years

If you don't conduct all communications via eBay you don't get any protection from them. If anyone is daft enough (not referring to the OP) to use whatsApp they deserve to be scammed.
Old salesman's saying, "There's no such thing as a free lunch"
 
EBay is fine as long as you follow a few rules.

1.Check the sellers feedback (some is bogus)
2. Don’t buy from anyone with less than 99.7% positive feedback.
3. Message seller first, if they don’t answer don’t buy.

For a laugh I messaged him asking if my mate in London could pay cash on collection for me. Response was basically

"I only communicate via Whatsapp, please text me"

I reported it straight to Ebay. Confirmed what we already suspected.

There was a guy recently selling an XM30 Key thermal, as an XM30F and at XM30F pricing.

I messaged him to point out the error, and tried reporting it to eBay. It still went ahead and sold. Seller didn't reply.

Some poor buyer paid about £200 too much
