Hi guys, just saw some listings on ebay by the seller elopotrading.
They listed quite a number of desirable pieces in fairly good condition, at I would say very low price.

Here are some of the pics. I believe you can view it if u search for omega speedmaster in the international ebay.

What are your thoughts? Screaming scam?
These are just some of the examples of watches listed.

All have a BIN price which is too good to be true to me.

Thanks.

Hi OF,

Just a some listing by the seller elopotrading on ebay.
What's your thought on the listing? Genuine or scam?

These are mainly desirable pieces at very attractive BIN price.
Too good to be true?

Here are some of the pics of the watches listed.

Thanks. Have a pleasant weekend everyone.

Wow! Just came across this too and had similar thoughts.
Figured I’d try to win an auction. If things fall apart rely on eBay or PayPal protection.

Honestly not sure what to make of this, but for some reason my instinct says to hold back. Just my feelings on it. Seller has positive feedback though, to be fair.

This is a common scam. Seems to involve hacking existing users' accounts. The listings usually only last a few hours before being taken down. Avoid!

This exact scam comes up pretty frequently. Often a high-volume seller's account has been hacked.

1000% A SCAM........although I did like the idea of winning my grail (Rolex GMT Master w nice patina) for under 10000 USD.

Why does Ebay let these assholes continue to sell???? Why do we still use Ebay??? LOL. MANY questions.

Why do people even attempt at these scams... if it tries to offer a random buy it now pricing at low pricing it is a scam. If it looks like a possible repost of something you’ve seen before but now under a low rating seller probably a scam...

Apparently this is pretty common on eBay with seller accounts being hacked.

Obvious tell is a link in the description that looks like eBay.com that takes you to a scam site where credit card info is requested.

Scam. Also always do a reverse image search.

Weird. I was following an auction by this seller for a Jaeger Lecoultre and then it disappeared. I google the seller's name and came across this thread. The ebay account is shut down now

If you see this buying-now-offers in the description, it is a scam.
Always same type of writing, always trying to guide you on another website.
Take care and report them to ebay, if you see such a scam.

A clue is that all the photos look like they've been taken by different people. There's no commonality to them either in terms of size/resolution or background.

Memorize these photos (and especially the super low BIN in the description) - they pop up every couple weeks and it's always the same scam.

This is a common scam. Once you agree to the BIN the seller will insist on sending you a link for payment. It may look like its coming from eBAY/Paypal but in actuality it is not.
