Is This For Real

Good luck with your claim. I hope you're able to recover your funds. Keep us posted.

dorpmuller, I had the exact same situation. Here's hoping!

Well, we're mostly adults here, so my vote is to keep putting candy on the table and let us choose whether to take a flyer or not. I appreciate the entertainment and the possibility of a win (however slim). I'm also clear-eyed enough to know that gambling has the possibility of a total loss.

Yeah...I happen to like candy.

ILF for president. :D

Im just pissed at paypal and there fees for sell and reciving money, i belive its crap rip off sellers is why there fees are so high to cover crap like this.

+1

Once and for all, BLF: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is! That could almost be our official motto. Ocassionally a hot deal comes along that seems to be an exception, but VERY seldom - if ever - anything like the 'steal' that this Ebayer was offering. So yes ILF, please carry on posting such 'deals'; we're all free to say 'No thanks!' And at the least we could decide to alert Ebay/Paypal to a scammer.

Benckie's hacked off with PayBay; well, +1 to that, too. PP are currently witholding an Ebay refund I have pending on the most pathetic pretext whilst they milk it for every last cent of interest. I'm not even convinced that some of their practices are strictly legal .

Sorry nothing personal, ive just had it with ebay and paypal right now....

Seller actually responded to Paypal with a tracking #... non-working right now of course.

I also did buy one.

I only asked for the tracking yet, I will wait two days to place a claim.

..

Who knows, you guys might all get a nice new King. Maybe the seller found a box that fell off the back of a truck and just figured he would dump them cheap.

Either way, its a bargain. You spent $23 to not get a King, I had to spend $22 to not get a Balder. Yours was a much better transaction.

Yup the seller responded to paypal with a tracking number for me as well. I highly doubt it will work, but at least the paypal dispute is there and they know about our suspicions.

wouldnt mind seeing photos of what yall get.

Why is everyone freaking out already? Just wait a month or so and if nothing shows, file the PP claim. People freaked out about the DX Fandyfire 2011 within days after they ordered it. If you are going to play this Chinese budget light game, you need to have some patience and some balls.

No, this is way past the Chinese budget light game. Its either stolen goods or fraud, it is not the normal Chinese price-undercuts.

Yup, I got a tracking number too, maybe we should post em to see if 1 number was sent to everyone?

Threads like this one are very informative to me.

From the discussion, I learn about the various pitfalls of internet/eBay purchasing, where to look to avoid them and what to do if I happen to fall into one.

So, keep them coming. There may be other members eager to learn as well.

I am betting we get the lights. They may be defective or not as expected but i think we get something. You can get them for $61 shipped from some seller so the price is low but not so low that it is not possible. I could be wrong but we knew it was a gamble going in.

Can you get the light for $61 shipped with 4 protected batteries and a charger? I'm in - where they at?

Hmmm, somebody neg'd our man (woman?) ferhui3000... can't see the details, of course as they've gone 'private'. Seems strange, as all the light sales seem to have happened around April 18-19, and that wouldn't give nearly enough time for someone to get their light.

Still no tracking number for me, even though I asked. Would also be interested in hearing, say, the last 4 digits of the tracking numbers that people have gotten, on the chance that they're all the same.
