Guys before I commit to a buy here I just wanted to check - seems like a great deal I have not seen anywhere else. Anything I should know about this??

Thanks

Seems wrong, it's very cheap with that lense, 2 cheap?

edit, maybe not it's a sigma lense, could be a good deal

Thecageyone

have you a translator on hand? Or can you make all that out?

The worst thing about buying online is, no matter how good the deal, we will always question it until we have the goods in our hands. I'm the same lately, but I'm looking at used gear which is even trickier and harder trust.

I'd prefer it to be in English to be honest, you could at least read any fine print.

well they say...

Thats if babbelfishything is right

Somethings a miss if a store on ebay doesnt take Paypal, walk on the side of caution I think.

• PAYMENTS WITH PAYPAL ARE NOT ACCEPTED
• the payments must reach within 5 gg working from the end of the auction
• it is always prayed to communicate the happened payment and the modality of the same one
• ONLY ACCEPTED PAYMENTS: BANKING DISCOUNT, DISCOUNT MAILS THEM, SIFTS

Googles translation makes a little more sense,



1. DO NOT ACCEPT PAYMENTS WITH PAYPAL
2. payments must be received within 5 working days from the end of the auction
3. Please always communicate and mode of payment for the same
4. SINGLE PAYMENTS ACCEPTED: BANK TRANSFER, POSTAL MONEY, MONEY


Not accepting Paypal would mean I'd walk straight by, you'd have absolutely no comeback.

Bank transfer only or cash only ? Steer clear. Chances are it's a scam, and you have zero comeback if thats the case. You transfer the money, and whooosh, they're gone.

Hmm, considering same deal from Hong Kong is €837 + postage here: http://cgi.ebay.ie/Canon-EOS-500D-Sigma-18-200mm-OS-8GB-SDHC-Ex-Battery_W0QQitemZ270538099742QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN?hash=item3efd53cc1e#ht_5272wt_939 I'd say this has to be a scam

How do I report this so someone else does not fall for it?

How come the guy has nearly 2000 positive feedbacks and then this? I don't get it?

Thecageyone

There could be a warehouse full of them on their laptops giving the feedback to one another. Sounds iffy indeed.

No exaggerating -

there was an online poker scam, crews of players in Tallin working out of a warehouse, playing round the clock in shifts at mulitple tables. their strategy was simple, ultra aggression. it worked, they cleaned up for a while. Until a lot of them were banned for holding multiple accounts and allowing others play under their aliases [the accounts were live 24/7 across all levels.

Thanks. I'd say this is a legitimate seller that has been hijacked
