I was checking out a childrens clothing auction last night and when I looked it said auction pre-view do not bid and asked me to re-direct to another page via a link. The seller seemed to have had no bids on several very good items and had no feedback. Needless to say I did not bid, but i am just wondering are my suspitions correct in that i was being re-directed to an off e-bay site(although it looked the same).
it seeme3d suspisious to me.

You're 100% right to be suspicious of anything that directs you to an "off ebay" purchase...scam scam scam...and needs to be reported...mind you..reporting dodgy listings to ebay is a bit like praying to God for the lottery numbers.....one in 14 million will get answered!

Got an item number for the listing?0 -
No I didn't get the item no. I e-mailed her but received no reply. funny that.
I questioned this as the page was re-directed to looked just like an e-bay page by=ut her lay out and conditions didn't strike me as being newbie, which was why i fqestioned her.0
