Newest Ebay Scam for Buy it now listings (Daytona 7750)

[rolexwatchfan]

This time is not about the watch but the way the seller scams the buyer by blowing the shipping up to enormous amounts of money. In this case $2K !!!!!!!!!!!
I know at least few friends of mine who would click "BIN" not looking at the shipping charge. Read the sales post and BEWARE. Please report while you at it.

Wow that’s old school right there. It reminds me of all the things they sell on infomercials with moneyback guarantees. All you have to do is pay the shipping to get it to you and the return shipping if you don’t want it. But sometimes the shipping cost as much as the item itself. So either way they know it’s not worth bothering with. The whole thing is just a selling scam.

No it's not "old school", Paypal/Ebay won't return $2000 shipping charge no matter what. Look it up in their charge back/return policy. https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/returns-refunds/start-return/return-postage?id=4066

In this instance perhaps it is a scam, however as dealing my self on eBay it used to be a way to beat the fees system by listing an item for $1 and shipping costs for e.g. $1000. In this way you would only have to pay few cents on fees after selling this item as it was so cheap. I have never done this way, however I know that it was a thing.

Yes but if SHTF you will get jack shit in return if the seller sends you a brick. Would you risk your money it in favor of the seller? That is the question...

Im sure The whole shipping amount goes through PayPal still along with the $1 purchase, so if this method side steps eBay you could still raise a dispute on the transaction with PayPal outside of eBay ?
