Is this a scam?

teenage_Drama

right well i have to get some of these for my brother and after placing this bid i realized the member has no feedback so i cant really trust him/her

does this look like a scam?

slowen

Just because someone is new with no feedback does not mean you cannot trust them as we all have to start somewhere

Have you priced the trainers in the shops or internet to see how much they are and are any other people on ebay selling them that actually have feedback

Don't think it is a scam but you never know

I found the following info a bit iof a laugh considering they are a brand new member, fair enough they may be trying to cover themself against scammers

PAYMENT INFO: IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 3 FEEDBACK OR JUST REGISTERED PLEASE MAKE OTHER PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT THAN PAYPAL. I MIGHT ASK FOR PHONE NUMBER FOR SECURITY PURPOSE.

PAYPAL IS WELCOMED FROM ANY USER WITH MORE THAN 3 FEEDBACKS.

I was going to say there is no way in hell that guy is new to ebay, so I am curious why he is having to use a new ID, might not be anything wrong though, really if hes selling trainers the worst that could really happen is them being fake (very probable when using ebay)!

teenage_Drama

well the trainers start from £30 buy it now price..

the seller is selling them in all sizes but i dont wanna have to pay for the item and not receive it!

but why another account ! : \

they look a bit dodgy to me

they know what they are talking about so have sold before, must be under a different alias, the question is were they banned or had a bad history.

i would be very sceptical....

but my other half has bought from some very dodgy looking sellers before and had no problem

good luck and let us know how it went.

be wary of scams though as buying through paypal says it insures you up to £500 BUT THEY DONT........ when it comes to claim the money back - they will only give you what they can redeem from the dodgy sellers paypal account - and if thier bank account is empty - you wont get a bean!

Is it me or does the air max label on the top of the tongue look like it says either "aimax" or airnax" not "airmax"??

teenage_Drama

^its airmax i think they're designed like that

shelly

I have to say that if I hadn't seen the state of Nike trainers recently in shops and I received these trainers I'd send them back as fakes as I think the finish of them is shocking. I wanted some Airmax recently and went into several well known high street stores but was very disappointed at the finish of them. For the name "Nike" I'd expect the finish on them to be much better quality. Needless to say I didn't get any Nikes and stuck with faithful old Reebok.



Also to OP, if you strongly believe the seller to not be legit you can withdraw your bid.
