Arai Posted September 2, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 2, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I came across the ebay today that sell M Monochrom, it's unclear whether it's M246 or MM ver 1 but the description is very fishy. Here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leica-M-M-Monochrom-18-0-MP-Digital-Camera-Black-Body-Only-Typ-246-10930/322705383476?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D46086%26meid%3D1cbf53d5a4604b5b8d6e88322594eaa7%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D272829839464&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 I know the next thing to do is check the seller rating/credibility, that's what I did, the seller rating is excellent. So can we trust this posting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafikiphoto Posted September 2, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) The word 'bargepole' is in my mind. This dodgy ad doesn't mean all of eBay is a waste of time though. Edited September 2, 2017 by rafikiphoto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted September 2, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 2, 2017 Please use your common sense here. The listing is an auction but then in the description the 'seller' says no bidding but to email directly. Obvious sign of a scam!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted September 2, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 2, 2017 Fraudulent ad. The signs are very clear. The ad contains an image showing a text. The text says not to place a bid but to get into contact with the seller outside eBay. Don't waste your time with such stuff. If you're tempted by this ad, just burning your money will do. Don't burn money within a closed space. The fumes might be toxic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arai Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted September 2, 2017 I don't offcourse..but the seller has been on ebay since 2002 and being a trusted seller with thousand of positive feedback, does the account being hacked or else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously hacked. Please go and read eBay's T&C's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicalifer Posted September 3, 2017 Share #9 Posted September 3, 2017 There's a link on every eBay ad to report it to them as fraudulent. eBay adds this once the seller posts the item for sale. Works great and weeds out the scammers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 27, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 27, 2017 Fraudulent ad. The signs are very clear. The ad contains an image showing a text. The text says not to place a bid but to get into contact with the seller outside eBay . To place an ad and then deal outside of eBay is forbidden by eBay and gives neither the seller or the buyer any protection. eBay will always assist a potential bidder if they suspect an add is fraudulent. I buy and sell on eBay and have always found them very helpful,"especially when I first started selling" to make sure all transactions are honest,legal and smooth running.

algrove Posted October 12, 2017 Share #12 Posted October 12, 2017 eBay only cares about buyers, not sellers. I can speak from personal experience. BEWARE as a seller. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted October 12, 2017 Share #13 Posted October 12, 2017 Good advice, that sellers should be protected from potential buyers. The threat for sellers is so big, that some of them pretend to be buyers when they want to sell. We had some recent cases of this here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
