I asked him to take a picture with my ebay username on a piece of paper, and he refused. so i told him that what he was doing was complete ****, and theres no way in hell that he's making a profit if its legit.
i asked the very same thing of the same seller and of course he couldn't show me. all the auctions advise to contact him before bidding (usually explained in a jpg at the top of the description, view the photobucket album for the image and you'll find about 20 similar images for numerous scams), that's when he gives you a buy it now price and tells you once you've paid him, he'll register it with eBay so you're covered by their insurance (urrhh lies). farkin dodgy.
I've reported the seller numerous times and he just keeps coming back. moral of the story is, if it's too good to be true it probably is. i recommend for ALL purchases over $250 that you ask for a photo of the item with proof of ownership (their username next to it), don't accept watermarked photos. when they can't supply, report them immediately.
