I also called eBay and they agreed it's a scam and are pulling both listings
talk about international crime
the seller is in china .. claiming to be in california .. sold to someone in vancouver .. spotted by me in sydney .. I call eBay in Utah

What can I say, BNWT? It's a global community.
Pity we didn't have better global law enforcement.
BTW - it's up to 38 now...
-
69 now
the listings have been up for 6 hours
total gross so far US$1358.61
not a bad little earner
-
The seller ID is similar to the ones we kept finding in the lead-up to Christmas. All selling just one or two products, most with a store and zero feedback.
-
91 sold as of now.... Heads should roll letting it get this far !..... But as long as Ebay gets paid for the listings they don't give a flock .... :(
-

-
