Ebay Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

I never had an eBay buy go bad that was not resolved. There were some defective products, unshipped, not-as-advertised, and several under-performing Li-ion cells. But all were resolved to my satisfaction.

My latest deal is a supposedly defective Olight M3X Triton on auction for $45 shipped. It worked out of the box (included) and is the best light I own with an awesome reflector.

So I gambled and ordered the SRK and plunger light.

There’s nothing wrong with not worrying, it’s probably healthier for you… but you also would not receive a light.

Frankly many of you folks scare me.. . .

Assumptions, we all make them. As I have indicated in several threads and post, I don't worry about these transactions. If it is scam, I just file a dispute with Ebay and they take care of the rest. Minimal money and time invested. No worries here. I was merely replying to indicate that the previous post was not a good sign and added that I still have no activity on the tracking number. This is information for others to use as they see fit.

Please don't be scared. We'll get through this.

I have one coming, lucky bid for $46.66

I agree that not all extremely low priced deals are scams. But there are signs to a legit deal and to a scam besides the price. If the seller have sold only items at regular prices, then had a period of inactivity and suddenly comes up with very cheap prices on items he have never sold before and sells them in huge amounts - that’s a clear sign of a scam. And people who fall to it make it profitable. You don’t pay it directly, as you will get refunded by PayPal or eBay. But be sure they won’t suffer the loss, they include in your fees and after all you pay for it.

Anyone pick up one of these yet? Appear to be longer than a SRK. So far, they seem to all be bid only and are going to high for my taste.

EDIT: I see the same vendor also sells the above light as “buy it now” for about $57.

Congrats Flo. The light looks different enough that it may be a redesign. If that is the case, the early ones like the one you will get should be much higher quality due to new tooling and extra care that the first production runs get. It will be cool if there is extra space in the head. That would allow modders more options. Best wishes on it.

UH OH, the seller has been removed.

From Ebay
We had to remove this listing from the site and you’re not required to complete the transaction. If you’ve already sent payment, the sale should process as normal and you don’t have anything to worry about. If you have any questions about delivery, please check tracking or contact your seller. If you run into any trouble along the way eBay is here to help. Please visit the Resolution Center to help resolve any problems you may encounter.

I bought an other lamp, but I have got the same mail (in german language).
Still waiting for 3 or 4 weeks. If nothing arrives and you have payed with paypal take the buyers protection.

Check out the beam shots!! I didn’t know I could buy lightsaber for under $2. But wait there’s more one picture is a pencil beam and the other is floody.

Greatest Light Ever

the light used for the beam shots is not the sold one…

let paypal refund for false advertisement?

^ Ha. I have some of those lights. I had no idea of their true power.

For any that have purchased the 18L2. The vendor has been pulled. You don't have to wait for the estimated arrival period to pass. You can file a dispute now. Deputydave did and received a refund the next day. His report is here.

It sure looks like the guy is a scammer. Whoever sent

$$ for the lights , you might as well contact ebay & PP

for your refund.

I did get a reply from the seller on the 11th when I asked why the tracking number wasn’t working.

So how did that red headed SRK turn out?

opus chargers lots cheaper than I paid

cant vouch for store,buy at own risk

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Opus-BT-C3100-V2-2-Digital-Intelligent-4-Slots-LCD-10400-14500-Battery-Charger-/252307267214?hash=item3abeaf5e8e:g:1K0AAOSwh-1W1~0Q

That links to an AU price of 24.99. I went to their store and they have it for 18.94 US

Is there an easy way to know if those BT-3100s are fake or real? Half the price they are usually from China makes me think fake, but…

I have bought BT-3100 for as low as $22.99 last year and they were genuine, but at $18.49 seems a bit suspicious. What was the shipping costs anyways? The item is out of stock now.

Rechargeable 2X XML T6 LED BICYCLE LIGHT

Both less then $20 not bad at all

Super Bright USB Rechargeable 2 LED Bicycle Light

I bought 2 of these and they work well. xml emitters can be swapped

Novatac Spa for $38 shipped

Samsung 43" (Q60A) 4K UHD Smart QLED TV

$324.00

This retails for about $500

It's listed as "used", but it's from a liquidator that usually sells items that are new.

I was actually looking for a cheaper Samsung 43" TV, but this one popped up today.

It's kinda risky because I don't know what version it is.

I hope it's the 2021 version because I ordered one.

I'm going to use it as a computer monitor, though it can be used as a TV as well.

Several people have made an offer, so if you're interested, I think it's best to just to buy it now.
