Someone either just got ripped off, or scored a deal of the year

    Ad says liquid metal which I don't believe was true of that LE model. Also looks to be the seller's very first transaction...

    This is a 3rd such seller and watch that I saw in last 6 months. 2 previous ones were also seamasters (one was Bond) sellers were new and from Russia. This one is from Israel apparently.

    PayPal protection is there so not much can happen if it is fake or non existent. It would just take longer time I suppose to get your money back. Also, since seller is new with 0 feedback, PayPal has a 3 week freeze on funds. So even though buyer would send money, seller would not be able to withdraw for 3 weeks. That should be enough time to figure out what is going on

    I did notice that some of the photos have Chrono24 watermark on them, so odds are this is a non existent watch

    Dr Google is there to tell any seller the estimated value of their item, but let's not discount an aggrieved wife/ husband selling as part of divorce proceedings of course. "S/he gets 50% you say judge...okay...take this..." :whistling::taunt:

    Yeah, I don't think so either. I wonder if buyer protection is available if the buyer receives a photograph in Lieu of? I saw that on Judge Judy once. :eek::D

    I report these 0 feedback offers to eBay and they usually pull them rather than wait around to see if some bloke with 0 feedback in Israel really is selling a PO at 20 cents on the dollar.

    Buyer should put in the Ebay and/or Paypal claims today. Why wait?

    Everyone needs a learning experience, frankly this is one of the cheaper ones.
