Would you buy anything from this ebayer ? Look at item number 5821907331 (Navman Trackfish 6600). Then view sellers other items.
Makes me wonder who will be brave enough to transact
 
Been watching that seller too - he's got some VERY cheap Furuno gear on offer. A new NAVNET C-Map MAX plotter/sounder/radar just went for 300 Euro.

Yet all his feedback relates to shoes and stuff - will watch for feedback of someone who actually got his electronics
 
I don't buy or selkl on e-bay but like to sift through now and again .... Jim pointed out a couple of things to look for and a Chinese in particular caught our eye ....

Over 100 +ve feed-backs .... all withdrawn later, all having strange id's etc. of letters and characters like a code ... but basically giving him a 100% rating. Second all items carry cut and paste from manufacturers odd pages etc.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm very fishy !!
 
Yeah - all previous stuff is shoes and bags AND -

Too good to be true

That's that then - placed & non-winning bid & received the following from eBay

The following is a notice from eBay Trust & Safety regarding:

Item Number - 5821533888
Item Title - Furuno 1920 Color NavNet vx2 Chartplotter

Our records show that you placed a bid on this item. We removed this item from the Site and cancelled your bid because it appears that the seller's account has been compromised and used by an unauthorised third party. The seller's privileges to trade on eBay may be temporarily suspended while we investigate this matter further. Due to privacy concerns we will not be able to share further details related to this seller.

If someone claiming to be the seller asks you to complete a transaction outside of eBay, we strongly recommend that you ignore the request. Transactions for items listed on eBay that are completed outside of the eBay marketplace are not covered by the Buyer Protection services offered by eBay and can be highly indicative of fraud.

If you have already paid, you may wish to pursue recuperating your funds. Some steps you might take include:

1. Ask the seller for a refund
2. If you paid by check, ask your bank to stop payment 3. If you paid by credit card, contact your credit card company’s security department 4. If you have made a payment by money order or wire transfer, you may contact that company for further information at 1-800-325-6000 (Western Union), or at 1-800-926-9400 (Money Gram) 5. If you paid with PayPal, review the Buyer Complaint Process
 
Re: Too good to be true

Saw an advert from the same person, Furuno NX300D new in box, plus P&P starting at about eighty quid. I always work on the 'if it's too good to be true then it probably is' principle, so I thought i'd watch the auction and see what happened. The listing vanished suddenly, with 5d left to go. Thing is it has been relisted and vanished shortly afterwards several times since, so i'm sure this is a scam, and that the character responsible is probably still around.
