- only 5 feedback, all for buying 1p e-books. I wonder if the scarf is actually for sale, or they just want to harvest email-addresses?

No way, no how. Very strange indeed!

 

[BagAngel]

No I wouldn't chance it!

 

[elizat]

I would not. Really odd.

Hmm, I think he's just trying to advertise about some online gig that makes lots of money? Weird.

As a seller, I don't need anyone email address...
so I think
DONT DO IT!!!!
too many scammers.. my email has been so abused from ebay.
I get many emails to make my thing bigger, I don't have any thing! So many from buying out of china....its not worth it.
Ask the seller why they need your email to ask a question?
Lets see what happens.

It's strange indeed. Why does a seller want a buyer's email address before auction closes?

If you look at description of e-books she bought (I am assuming it is a "she" b/c of the username - Kelly Wong), they are all "get rich quick" types. Who knows what she learned from those books...

It's probably a fake Hermes. Yep, they fake them too! One of the things I learned about when I hung out at the eBay forums was they'd build up feedback by buying those e-books, then try to sell a fake scarf. I can understand ONE e-book, but five?

Nice catch by the way, so few people check feedback it seems. The whole thing stinks to a scam and I feel for the people who bid. IF they aren't shillers for the seller!

 

[northerndancer]

I wouldn't bid. I have a policy that if there is anything fishy looking about the listing of the FB, I don't bid. And....so far, so good.

Someone did, and won for 62.00GBP. That is $124.00! Feel sorry for them.

^^^Oh no, another dispute waiting in the wings.

 

[LV-PRADAfanatic]

VERY iffy... i WOULD NOT bid...

 

[friponne]

^^^Oh no, another dispute waiting in the wings.

Sure! It was a French buyer, poor girl!!!
I checked back: the auction is removed by ebay and the seller (kelly wong) seems to be NARUd? Found no-one with that ID with the matching feedback in the member-search!
