You never know, this ebay seller could very well be legit. Many GB’s have a 50% off deal, and the dealer is still making money. This ebay seller in China may have a connection with nitecore and purchasing these at rock bottom wholesale. Also, nitecore may be dumping, prepping for a new model. None of this would surprise me.
He actually has 2 active auctions. One is for an XTAR VC4 battery charger and the other a Sky-Ray flashlight. I’d say you all have a fair chance of getting your products. He’s already sold 246 of the Xtar chargers, plus he’s been selling on eBay for at least a year with 384 positive feedbacks against 1 negative in the past year. The negative could have been a faulty product.
Many of the people who are providing feed back have pretty significant feedback profiles themselves, which would be difficult to fake.
Personally, I’m just make sure that I’m in compliance with eBay/Paypal policies regarding filing claims within allowable time limits, then wait around for either good news or the time limit to expire.
Other than that, we can play the “what if” game until the cows come home and still not know one way or the other until either the time limit passes or items appear.
In any case, best of luck. Looks like it could work out to be a killer deal.

Anyone got any news about their order?
Orders: 2
Marked as shipped: 0
I filed a claim with EBay. They sent me to PayPal. Then PayPal denied my claim. Why is this seller still permitted to be selling?
Any news for anyone else? I have yet to hear back.
Seems like the seller has picked up some bad reviews lately.
Filed a claim.
Do you have your order marked as shipped?
Has PP explained why claim was rejected ?
Yes, dba eBay seller 4.04638.
Yes my order was marked as shipped. PayPal replied stating they did not believe my purchase was fraudulent. Now eBay will not even let me file another claim because they say that my purchase was referred to PayPal for review and that they cannot review a case once it’s been sent to PayPal.
The link is not in the OP.

Thanks, Sirius!
I think you made it easier for others to get their money back from Paypal. My dispute was automatically escalated to a claim (skipping the usual buyer-seller communication process).
Does anyone see a chance of getting the MH20 or should we try to get our money back?
Until early February, the seller had a 100% feedback rating. Zero negative feedbacks.
Look at what has happened since then: Feedback Profile
I lodged a dispute with Paypal, Paypal immediately escalated my dispute to a claim because the seller was already on record as no longer responding to Paypal.
No, I do not see any chance of us getting our MH20s.
UPDATE
I received the following response from Paypal today:
I hope this ends this fiasco for me.
And good luck to others!
I already spent again money that was returned to me by paypal (I had a bit of luck here, seller did not marked my order as shipped, if he had did that I guess I would have to wait quite a while).
The seller is deleted from ebay now…
