This is the only site I visit often enough to have faith in its members so my apologies if anyone is offended by me posting something non photography related...

Does this seem like a scam?

Its at $150 in the last 2 hours, about 20 bucks cheaper than the going rate but I figure that is due to the none existing feedback profile.

If I pay thru paypal using my credit card will I still be in danger?

Thanks in advance!

In danger of what? Paypal will more often than not support the buyer but if you feel like its a shoddy deal, it most likely is and you should stay away. For a saving of $20 is the risk worth it?

Don't know if it's a scam or not, but the seller's user name certainly dosn't give me much confidence!

Yeah noted the user name first, didn't even look at the listing. But couldn't sleep so here I am. Any case answered my own question. Noticed his only 4 transactions was buying from one seller, who themselves has good feedback, but all items are 20 dollars or less. Not to mention the comment "DONT MISS OUT ON THIS GREAT DEAL, I HAVE A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF THESE LEFT." Hes not selling any other ones..
