There are several listings for SimpliSafe home security systems by sellers with 0 feedback. All are aproximately the same price of $180. This price is significantly lower than the usual price for these systems. I am interested in purchasing a system but do not want to be scammed. Is there any way I can verify if these listings are legitimate and the seller will send the item?
Thanks for any sugestions.

Thank you for your suggestion. It is really creepy. But I can not resist the price. Have you installed it and registered monitoring service?

Yes, no all is working so far.

I just ordered one as well. Came directly from simplisafe, everything is brand new and in the box. Haven’t hooked it up yet though. There was an invoice in the box for way more than I paid. Is this legit or a scam??

Probably stolen credit cards being used

No, I did not order. There way too many listing for these Simplisafe systems from sellers with zero feedback. Who knows what may happen if SimpliSafe catches on to what is going on. Or maybe the seller won't ship. Too risky in my opinion.

Was you system be able to activate through Simplisafe, and was it running fine?

Yes as it was shipped from SimpliSafe

Hello, I think I may be running into your situation. The seller / item is now de-listed. I have a package coming on my way from MA. What happened to your system. Did simplisafe ask you to return it? or are you able to use it successfully ? Thanks

Still working fine have not heard from anyone

Hello.
I am thinking of ordering the simplisafe 3 system from this seller who has 0 feedback.
Do you think its too risky? Its so much cheaper than simplisafe itself.
Have anyone had experience with buying it from Ebay and is it working fine?
Thank you

Did you ever have any issues with your acount after this purchase? I just purchased one and had the same thing happen where it was sent directly though simplisafe.

Nope, just don't ask too many questions, should be okay.

Although tempted, I was concerned that if this was indeed a stolen credit card scam, it could possibly come back to me to pay the balance owed on the account for whatever system was received. The sponsoring bank could first try to find and prosecute the thief, then potentially go after those receiving the security system. I did notice that as soon as the last system was sold, the listing completely disappeared. Creepy.
Ended up building a system directly through Simplisafe via telephone, that cost roughly what was being offered by the questionable eBay listing. They offered a 40% discount for customers with older systems to upgrade, but you do need to send back your original system at their expense. They also have a special 48-hour sale going on where you can save 15% plus get a free camera. The 40% deal worked out best for me.
