Buffdaddy54 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Saw this auction on EBay and immediately thought it was a scam. I'm firmly in the camp of " If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is" but just could not resist. I figure if it is bogus I'm covered by EBay and PayPal. Really hoping it's legit. Quote

Junger Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Yes, scam. They always list like 30 of them and end the listing with "a" "b" "c" "d" etc. That's how you know they're the scams. But yes, you will be protected by Ebay when the sale is fraudulent. Quote

What is the a b c d designation? Quote

I think it's just the scammer's script to set up multiple listings for the item. Same description for 10 items, then they just add the letters at the end so they can monopolize the entire page with a list of their fraudulent items. 1 Quote
