punksdropdirtysrh Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Interesting. I wonder what the sellers motives are. Regretful impulse buy? Thinks he can flip it already? Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrocomics Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Has to be just bs. Winning bidder had 176 feedback I believe. Looks like a stolen pic, repost to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifties Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'm prolly missing something here, but if the assumption is that the 3.5 book that sold last week is the same that is now for sale...It ain't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telerites Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have been tracking this book. When it was first posted, I asked the seller if they could provide a picture of the back of the label. I suspected it was a scam as it was zero feedback and only item for sale. The seller never responded at all to my question. I know I ain't a biddin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punksdropdirtysrh Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Forgive me if this is a n00b question, but what can a seller really gain from doing this? With eBay's buyer protection they wouldn't get any $ right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With eBay's buyer protection they wouldn't get any $ right? My assumption is when Ebay tries to recover from the money from the seller's PP account (which is just as fake as the auction), it will be empty or closed he rides on to set up more spurious Ebay and PP accounts to thieve again. The seller may also create phishing, fake invoices to capture the buyer's PP account information and the seller may attempt to divert the buyer to another form of payment.
