This is interesting:
60D is the most strange one is disguess that I have ever seen.!!
Auction names 4 lens where Camera on picture has two built in, only two are named, no pictures!!! 2+2=4 My bad!
Against the ebay regulation, the seller has left a contact (Probably just made) so that can take the money directly from buyer and not through the ebay!!!!!
Link to sellers address take you to a site with cheapest on the plant, most attractive electronic items....Why people are stupid to buy at higher price elsewhere!!!!!!???????​??

WELL: If it is looking like a duck, and sounds like a duck, well it is HACKED ACCOUNT & FRADULENT SPAM with somebody trying to steal your money. Probably the seller is also the brother of king of Africa or Indian Maharaja that previously sent you and email to share all the wealth of passed away brother........

Please avoid scams and "If it is too good to be through, It is a scam for you".

OH and this is theLINK (external link)to the ebay page that still is going strongly....
PLEASE AVOID CROCKS AND HACKERS. Your greed is their best tool that must be working if they are still in business.
BTW if you decide to buy from this guy or likewise hackers, against my advise, Only I wish you happy dreams of seeing either the item or your money. So don't count me responsible later.

A 'hacked' account with 0 transactions?

I do agree that there's something seriously fishy, and I'd never buy anything from them. More than likely they're harvesting credit card information.

OHHHHH..... take a look at their website, banner across the top says "HOT PRODUCTS". :lol:

To my great surprise Ebay is indifferent or careless if not (In good faith) too busy.

I reported this ebay as "Fraudulent auction" more than 3 hours back, still the auction runs strong and highly decisive at least for someone.
Well as the transaction is not through paypal for obvious reasons, ebay has nothing to loss or probably even care.

This is why I am scared of EBAY.

Nothing to be scared of. Just avoid obvious scams like this.

As soon as you see an attempt to complete the deal off eBay, you know this is a scam. Zero feedback seller, price too good to be true, and pictures not matching item title/description are additional red flags. The unfortunate thing is buyers who see only $$$, ignore the clear warnings, and then get burned.

This one time I got a pair of $200 wireless triggers for $2 shipped
because the person in charge of the listings forgot to add two zeros.

I went and checked a week later and they had fixed the price.

If ebay takes down a listing in less than 24 hours they've moved at light-speed in their ebay sized world. I imagine they take notice quicker when a seller is trying to do business outside of ebay (and deprive them of income) - I've had to deal with them a couple of times and they took F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

And yes, that listing was quite flatulent.

LOL Groundloop. Its always the same. They only need to take care of their own interests.

Maverick75: I have never been that lucky as you, but at least have clear vivid memories of three incidences when the seller with no reserve ended not having too many bidders and I won the items (One time a composite bow and arrow, the other time an expensive ipCamera and third time a lens). My best price was about 50 percent off the original and others, 30-35% cheaper only.
Believe it or not, the sellers didn't sent the items to me, saying Item got broken just prior to shipping and will not sending me even after I asking the seller even bad on is OK to me as I need it for part only! (That I though is smart to ask the guy), the other excuse was they sold it out of ebay, and last one said he has just noticed item working and listed as New without box is not working anymore just before sending therefor will not send me a defective item, asking me to accept a refund...

To make a long story short, all my objections, opening the case with ebay, leaving negative feedback, wasting excess time, was useless and all ebay did was to refund the paypal or made the seller to repay the full refund.

So your seller was really honest as they could easy go with it saying something similar and all you would get is refund of $2 plus shipping. Ebay never did anything to crocket guys I had to deal with and they continue to sell. The guy with Bow and arrow put it (Exact same with the same images!) on sale again one and half month later, end up with less that what I won, and to make you laugh, again the new buyer had the same experience as me, leaving him another negative feedback with no use.

You can manipulate ebay very well if you know how to work the system.
I never buy anything more than $100, in most cases only the cheap chines accessory items like adapter, battery etc, that even if I lose the deal and money, that doesn't make me to regret too much.
