    Watch out for the seller of this SpeedmasterPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network.

    It's a new account that's had its feedback padded with a bunch of recent cheap (<$1) purchases.

    He also had a different Speedy listed, which he ended early.

    My guess is that he agrees to sell the watch outside of eBay to one or more buyer, and then keeps their (unprotected) money.

    Reverse image search didnt find any matches for me, not that it means much and shows that it's not a scam.

    I see the recent purchases - wondering how you see that the purchases are <$1?
    Would be goo for reference (regardless, I am staying away from this)

    What bothers me the most is that in my daily eBay sniffer emails this watch was marketed to me as "100% positive feedback." I understand that mere technology is to blame, but their shameless promotion is culpable in a scam (most likely involving a novice that cannot spot fakes with the astute eyes of ΩF) that inflates the price and will cost someone quite the headache. They should have safeguards in place and not include in their marketing: accounts with (insert which ever vetting you prefer).

    Just take a look at the items each of the sellers have listed. Lots of inexpensive junk.

    My guess is that each of those sellers also automatically leave positive feedback immediately after each purchase.

    Ahh I see - so you can't see a specific item that this person purchased, but we can have some sense from looking at what items the sellers are selling from which that person bought. Thanks !
    It's too bad eBay doesn't have an alternative star system that is based upon dollars spent/sold.
