Dodgy ebay seller listing FX8350's

forgotmyname

I was just typing out this warning but the item for sale seems to have been removed.

ebay seller chrchreme had listed 10+ FX 8350's for £24.99 + £3 or so P&P.

I thought somethign fishy there and had a look at the listing, description says
"as in picture proccesor and fan item for sale is in pictures"

Except the picture is clearly an A6 processor not an FX8350. The title was changed but the description was left as an 8 core CPU etc...

Someone trying to pull a fast one? Not a registered business and selling nothing else at the time. Seems the listing has been pulled as i was typing though. They had already sold 2.

Nope its still live and 3 sold... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162199328107

If the title had been left the same I would have agreed, but I suspect this is a result of the barcode information used by Ebay.

I had something similar on Amazon a while ago when I got a tablet case instead of a tablet. Turned out the seller had done everything correctly, but Amazon system had pulled in the incorrect spec info when the seller had to provide a barcode. The seller couldn't then amend it. Looks like something similar has happened here.

I don't think there is much doubt about what he is selling.
