opinions on this seller??

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone would buy something from this seller? She seems to have built up her feedback buying bloody ebooks now shes selling a bag worth £500?!

    Well the seller "may" have a genuine bag, which is why they started it at £100. And you may therefore get a bargain.

    However, there is no paypal protection, and more often than not, these are not all they cracked up to be.

    Personally, I would never risk it. But then, nor will most, so it may keep the price down even if it did happen to be genuine
    Be nice

    Does look a bit dodgy, they did sell a bag last week for over £200 but as the bidder ID's have been kept private you can't contact them to ask if it went OK. I suppose if they take credit cards over the phone you would have some protection,they may have a shop and have decided to give ebay a try.

    I wouldn't buy from her. No paypal accepted and feedback built up from e-books which were all bought in 3 days.

    Chances of that bag being genuine - 0
    Chances of that bag existing - slim

  • try www.goofbay.com
    It is useful when using ebay
  • Well they've nicked the pics from the following website. http://phatbrands.com/index.php?gOo=goodspic.dwt&goodsid=2389 Wonder what they'd say if asked if the pics are of their actual bag...
