China eBay scam on G scale trains.

[bpnslovak]

There is a listing comming from china for G scale trains at super low prices.

Seller is always different. 

Seller has never sold before. 

Seller has been a seller less than a month. 

I bit when I thought I found a listing in error.  I will probably have to wait a month, from china, or so to complain the item was not recieved.

Since then an item is listed a couple of times a week. 

Another one was just listed 10PM 17 Aug 2017.

LGB #3050 Passenger Compartment Coach Set Of 4 Coaches $15.32 Buy it now.

Buyer beware from this china seller. 

I am not down on China, but I have always purchased from sellers with a history.

There is really no way to stop sellers like this.  Just make sure you're buying from sellers with positive history, or at least who clearly describe the item so you can get a refund from eBay if that's not what you receive.  Even then there can be complication if the seller sets up a fake tracking number that says you received the item and you receive nothing.

They are doing the same with vintage Gi Joes from the 60s.

The price is unbelievably low, first red flag.

They have no feedback score, second red flag.

They do not reply to emails, third flag.

I dont know what is the nature of the scam to be found.

You are protected by Ebay against such things, but if you are inconvenienced, your

money will be tied up for a while.

I dont think they can do anything to these scammers until they have violated a Ebay rule.

Beware, if its to good to be true, than it is so.
