    List below, some of the alibi I have notice from scam/fake sellers. If notice is type of behavior in the title, description or pictures be aware. But this mostly shows in communication with scam/fake seller.

    1. Confused.
    2. Delusional.
    3. Split Personality.
    4. Low attention span.

    Not sure how you can determine any of those traits from a scammer. Probably best to just say they're 'dishonest'.

    I can sympathies, in the last two weeks I bought three very fairly priced buy it nows on eBay (all within 20 mins max of being listed). Nothing earth-shattering, i.e. no £100 Speedy pros, but a £150 9K gold omega, a rare military dial and movement for spares, and a Seiko chrono for £60. The first was "dropped whilst packing and broke", but oddly they still wouldn't sell it even when I offered to buy it as is. The second they said was "sold the day before". And the last one was "just lost in a house move" ::facepalm2::

    I'm sure all three will be relisted for more shortly...

    Wow... I would spend a dollar and get a lottery ticket. You've had your 3 back to back strike s for the year.

    Oh...remember me when you win the grand prize.

    I won an eBay auction for a Movado for $100 US. It was a pawn shop and they cancelled the sale after messaging me to say that it wasn't keeping time correctly and they couldn't sell it like that. Then I got another message saying they could get it repaired if I gave them $200.
    The watches BIN from the original listing was $300.
