On ebay. For an F serial # the box isn't even correct iirc. Fuzzy pictures. Zero feedback, first listing .......... Is this simply a noob eBay listing or fraud ? ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

It smells. He will only accept a wire transfer not paypal. He even states ""We can't accept paypal" as if to imply he is a company. As you say zero sales is a real warning along with the shoddy photos.

Now at over 2k with 38 bids. Can anybody give a view as to the authenticity?

That was my exact thought .............. My nose still hurts from wearing a clothes pin .............

And here is another hint it's a scam:

Please note: Due to prices above limits, we can only accept Wire Transfers. If you can't pay via wire, kindly don't bid.

International buyers & buyers with less than 5 feedback - PLEASE contact me before bidding

total BS.

If you look at the bidders you'll see that the high bidders aren't high feedback people either. I wouldn't bid on this watch unless I felt like throwing money away for nothing. No one will back you if you send a bank transfer. At least PayPal will give you your money back if the person is a creep.

Not enough detail to validate the watch. But IMHO, if a scammer was planning a scam, he'd likely lift pictures of a legitimate watch. I would say "buy the seller first" and then consider the watch. WIth zero info - including fact that nobody by his ebay name appears in a google search in Seattle - you have nothing to buy.

Pass!!

MikeyTX · 8 January 2012, 01:36 PM

Hmmmmm ............. I could get it banned couldn't I. Refusing PayPal violates eBay selling rules doesn't it !

tudorman8276 · 8 January 2012, 01:48 PM

...SELLER SAYS:

"Due to prices above limits, we can only accept Wire Transfers."

...time for the TIN BIN.

MikeyTX · 8 January 2012, 01:58 PM

Well, I just dropped the "dime on it for listing that violates payment rules. Let's see if it gets jerked.

Gone !

MikeyTX · 8 January 2012, 10:16 PM

Shame on those though that bid on it knowing of the rules violation. They simply perpetuate this kind of scam.

Apart from the schill bids, sadly, a lot of bidders do NOT realise that the listing is a scam or it is a counterfeit.
