False eBay listing

[hmc1981]

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT purchase of place any bid on a ComVac 1300 on eBay from seller: asdqok5-32. The pictures this “seller” is using are my photographs from a listing that recently sold. This is a scam and has been reported to eBay. I do not know how long it will take for eBay to remove the fraudulent listing, but feel it is important to inform everyone.

Yep. 0 feedback account and from China too.

Wtf

It's probably some India scammer trying to get PayPal payment and steal identity. It's a joke your going to have to get a photo edit and stamp your pics. You are accumulating one of best Kirby collections in US. Freaking fools trying to do this. That little shiz needs to be taken behind woodshed.
I have never seen anywhere new in box comvac. I have barely seen new in box Kirby's. This doesn't happen and you probably won't find another again not will anybody.
I'll stop

Lol.

It’s from China. I did ask the “seller” a question... I asked where he found such a beautiful machine and a few other things that only I would know. No reply of course. Oh well. At least it didn’t happen during the auction, only after it was all said and done.

It seems that a variety of these have popped up, and there will likely be more. Here is one of a Miele Complete C3 Marin, also from China, at an incredibly low price.

Damm..how did you find out about this?? I mean wow...what colossal balls

 

[hmc1981]

I found out only because Ben Edge was kind enough to bring it to my attention. If he hadn’t said anything to me, I’d likely have never known.

 

[lesinutah]

No

They have no balls. It's a scammer hiding going to pull eBay PayPal money and close account. Balls implies there not hiding and own up. This I believe almost happened to me. I bought a item they had no feedback and I told them they better have my item in mail or I would raise hell.

Looks like Ebay squashed the add. With today’s technology you think these scammer posts would somehow create an alert to an Admin that the pictured item was previously posted and sold by another seller.

 

[huskyvacs]

Well eBay has every new account frozen and will only release payment when the seller ships the item. If they have no shipment, they get no money. Still takes a couple weeks to get your own money back though once the scammer is confirmed - eBay makes you wait a certain number of days for the seller to ship (which will never happen).

I went on ebay myself and reported it as a scam too after first reading of HMC1981's announcement. Glad its gone

Thank you for taking the time to report the false listing. I know we won’t ever fully eliminate fraud, but if we see it and act together, we certainly can at the least have it removed much faster.

And even though there are buyer protections in place, it’s still a bummer and a hassle.

I’m glad to see that listing is gone, I’d be happier if all fraud were eliminated.

the other day i saw several listings for brand new Kirby avalier 2s list for around 100-200 with free shipping all from sellers located in china all of them seem to have gotten pulled.

 

[lesinutah]

True

Those are legit listings on Kirby's. I reported the listing too.
I bought a electro hygiene 980 with removable nozzle. It's the ladies first sell. I was an idiot lady year got seller to sell me avalir for $125 friends on PayPal. I was shiz out of luck. The lady selling this gives me the same vibe but I bought over eBay so if I don't get item she doesn't get paid.
Sadly eBay is not regulating as much in past 5 years were Amazon put eBay and Walmart down a otch.
They had a big corporate building in salt lake City. When it took a dive building is now a third the size.
PayPal owned by eBay is a joke. Do not call them for anything. They say call eBay then your transferred back to PayPal and after two trips around you tell the idiot to put supervisor idiot on. They sum it up your s o l.
The regulations and whole way they run financial part is a joke. They don't care who gives money or who gets money as long as they have enough money in the bank to make interest off it. They don't go after shoddy people they accept no blame just give you sorry.
With the way it's ran is funny. You call Amazon no problem. Walmart uses there site to sell third party and act like eBay as you have to go through third party.
Why have a web site that doesn't punish bad or even hold anyone accountable for shady things on their site.
They wonder why Amazon is downsizing them. I know Amazon works there employees like sweat shop. The people selling on eBay and wal mart are worse if you look into it. I don't know I like Amazon eBay and Walmart.
I just wish websites had ethics itself and accountable for their website.
Long rant.

ya with ebay u have to file your disputes though ebay directly because a couple years ago ebay and paypal divisions were split witch again lets sellers take payments other then paypal again. but makes it so u have use the ebay buyer protection to dispute.

paypal u can open dispute though them only for sales outside of ebay.

its always good not to use the friends and family payment unless u know the person any stranger that asks u to is probably a scammer they know paypal wont let u dispute if u use that option. however if u use your credit card as the funding source u can still file a charge back though your credit card company even if f&f is used. only thing to note is if u file a charge back and ur credit card company sides with u and paypal don't agree with it they will negative out ur paypal account and tell u u have to repay the amount charged back or u wont be able to use the account.

 

[lesinutah]

Hey

I did a dispute and charge back. I sent it friends and family so I lost dispute. I always do invoice
Les

 

[aaron158]

a dispute though paypal u will lose because there terms say cant dispute a f&f. but a charge back u should win most cc companies will side with there customer unless they have really bad customer service.

I agree with you on the problems of disputing on eBay and you're right there's much room for improvement there!

What does this mean? I literally read it 3 times , to no avail. I want to know your point where you wrote
"It's the ladies first sell. I was an idiot lady year got seller to sell me avalir for $125 friends on PayPal. "

That doesn't make an sense

Update

I actually have tracking on 980 electro hygiene off eBay. I'm excited I really like how quiet and effective 400 watt motors are.
I'll post pics but I'm going to polish it up but it will only take about two hours.

I don't recall credit card company but I'm guessing they called and I didn't answer I really hate
