Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums

Spot a listing that is highly suspicious? Possible scam or legit? Point it out here.

Note that Seibertron user's listings do NOT count and this is not the place for personal vendetta.

Starting off with this Ebay listing. Seller have ZERO feedback and he just happen to have a truckload of figures worth around 60-80$ + shipping that he sell for 11$ shipped. Yeah right. And more than 20 suckers bit the bait. Let's see if the seller suddenly vanish in a few weeks. If not, I'll be highly curious of the feedback he'll get.

Do you know for certain it's a scam or is it something you're just assuming?

Because I'm not going to allow a thread that unfairly brands someone a scammer based on gut feeling.

Should this thread be in the Toy Sighting forum instead? It would be mor apropriate I guess.

Now I'll have to crawl on my knees and beg Mandrake to cancel this OVER 800$US ORDER! Damn, I'm such an idiot......
Well, at least it's not paid so I shouldn't have a problem but it will hurt my Mandrake reputation for sure. Damn, my exitement made me miss a zero.
Let it be a cautionary tale for anyone who are not used to deal in JPY.

Just pointing out that the day after, the seller of the 800$ Apeface cancelled the order. I've been scolded though.
Anyway, bullet dodged so that's all that matter.
The item is back on sale if any rich Seibertronian is interested.

Also, guys, don't tell me no one ever see dubious listings?
