items from china.

How genuine are these items 8741365936 and similar. The sellers feedback are all no longer registered. There are a lot of people bidding for these but I think they are going to be dissappointed. Am I right??
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

  • Definately a scam, all their feeback is from users no longer registered with 10 or 11 feedback themselves and it has been left within 8 minutes of each other. Also they like buying and selling question marks!

    Yak is auctionwrecking it so nothing to worry about, except that buying from ebay uk sellers is risky enough without having to be dumb enough to buy from overseas.
