Whooooo, sounds like another LEGITIMATE listing..........

BUY

Perhaps buyers are still purchasing them thinking, 2nd, 3rd, 4th time lucky?

They're bound to score a bargain eventually right????????

I can totally see how people fall for this type of thing. I've been with eBay for over 11 years now and have never had an issue. At a quick glance everything appears to be normal and to a novice this is a great deal. I've found many great deals on eBay and never thought twice about being scammed. After seeing this though I will proceed with a little more caution. Someone said earlier that a parent could easily get sucked into this for gift purposes and with free shipping what do you have to lose, right? Casual eBayers would have no idea how to spot something like this and for the most part eBay is very safe and trustworthy site. When it comes down to it the buyers aren't idiots, they've simply been taken advantage of. It's really quite sad actually.

And so the SCAM SAGA continues.................. now it's hit Australian shores from a Hong Kong fake seller.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEGO-Star-Wars-Death-Star-10188-DeathStar-BRAND-NEW-/150656208545?pt=AU_LEGO&hash=item2313cf4ea1#ht_1684wt_1135

Amazing how much they're targeting the Lego Death Star sets !!!!

He has x200 of them AGAIN, and for $189.99 Australian dollars let the stupid/gullible buyers get sucked in!

I have reported both. Ebay is slow to take action, I sent them a mail about that with no response yet.

These guys are making tens of thousands this way - sounds like a nice job on the side.

I've decided to follow these as well and keep reporting them. This is just insane that eBay hasn't taken action on some of these guys yet. I hate people like that.

They have sold another 18 Death Stars and 30 some Millenium Falcons since I posted this morning. Unbelievable. Some people are buying multiples from them. How sad.

Made me laugh. Who buys electronics in a McDonalds parking lot? She could have at least asked to see it. That's just plain stupidity.

Totally agree, she should have at least seen it power up and turn on...... but that's just the sort

of gullible people were dealing with.

I've been following this whole thing closely and sent the seller a message yesterday. I wrote " you are a piece of shit scam artist and you will get caught. It's only a matter of time. " He responded to me this morning by simply writing "MADE".

I really hope he gets busted.

I’m glad that Ebay seem to have finally taken some action about this. I reported 3 separate listings, but I didn’t receive anything from them apart from the standard automated reply. I was really surprised that one of them was still showing 24 hours after I’d reported it (and I clearly wasn’t the only one doing this), especially considering the amounts involved. I just hope that everyone gets a refund.

Cant find the thread on here where someone recently ordered 10188 deathstar for £129 from ebay from china with free p&p, i remember the seller gave tracking number but not heard anything since?

I was watching the same item and they also were selling 10179 Millenium Falcon for £179, they ended up selling x200 each in a few days which comes to a grand total £65,800 ish which paypal are going to have to refund as its obv a con as you can see by ther feedback for 100's 1p items to boost there selling credentials.

I reported all these items to ebay but they are so slow or dont give a monkey as they managed to shift all 200 each and now a different seller is listing x200 as well, i've also reported these, has anyone got a spare ebay account they can do buy it now on all 200 just to stop people getting caught out with this, there are going to be many people get caught with the scam especially with xmas getting closer.

That'll be me.

My original post can be found here.

Still waiting.

I tried opening up a dispute case with eBay but was notified that I can't start one until September 11th (why that particular date I don't know), so I'm just hanging on until then.

I'm actually hoping nothing turns up as it'll be easier to try and get my money back, rather than having to return whatever the Chinese seller has sent me and starting a 'item not as described' case with eBay.

I always select 'auctions only', all the people treating ebay as a generic shop with their insane 'buy it now' prices can go suck a big one ^^

Thats the same twat that is listing x200 each falcon and deathstars in the UK, this must be costing Paypal a fortune as the other seller last week sold x200 eack and that came to a total £65'800, easy money in less than 72hrs.

Its no wonder Ebay and paypal have started taking a higher %, its to cover their megablocks for scams like this.

Can someone from each country just set up fake ebay account and click buy it now for all 200 listed.
