Default Strange Activity on E-Bay

Anyone do an e-bay search for "Cen Racing" in the past few days?

What is with all the super cheap Cen products. Fun Factors for 6 bucks...Genesis for 30 bucks!?!?!

The locations are all China and the user names are all different but you can tell they are the same person.

None of the user names have feedback!

I watched a few of the auctions to see if they were real and they keep dissapearing from my watch list.

Just want to know if someone actually bid on one and recieved it....cause if they did I'm gonna get like 10 Fun Factors and a few Genesis's. At 30 bucks a pop you cant go wrong...ha ha ha!

Its a Scam, they are disappearing from Ebay becuz Ebay keeps removing them... either someone has an issue with Ebay, and are perpertraiting some fiendish "gonna make you spend lots of money to deal with me" plot. or someones triing to get some quick money... be smart dont bid.. and for (insert desired sect here) sake DONT send any money.

Yeah, I've seen them, but I also report them to Ebay because they are fraudulant. Don't send money to them ever unless it is varified by PAYPAL only. If it seems too good to be true, it probally is. $30 for an Genesis is too good.

I reported one to ebay and then bid on another. Sure enough, after the auction I got an email where I was asked to send via western union and he would send me the MT2. He assured me he was new trader setting up shop in China. I just told him that there was no way he was getting a cent from me unless he could provide Paypal details and business contact numbers so I could call him direct. (Hell, for a AUD$20 FF MT2 I could afford to call China!!) But he was unable to provide me with any details.....eBay cancelled the sale and told me I was naughty for bidding!!( Hey, I'm 44, I'm not about 2 start being UNnaughty!!) Shucks, didn't get a REEAALL cheap MT2.....but I had fun watching all the other Cen products getting snapped up for micro-dollars.....


If its too good to be true....it probabaly isn't.

a mate of mine kills time at work by placing a ridiculously high bid on scammers auctions, partly to make sure noone gets scammed, but mainly to enjoy the abusing of said scammers via email.

must be great to have an office and a pc, rather than hanging off 80 foot high pipework on powerstations in the middle of an english winter ...

but aye... scammers... ebays full of em, check out the car audio on there, its ridiculous and blatantly obvious, just dont be tempted and they may eventually give up with this kind of rip-off.

I figured it was a scam!

I was wishing someone stole a truck full of CEN stuff and was selling it super cheap...

I asked the guy what shipping to Canada was and if he would do COD. Never got a response!

Whats really sad is that he has a lot of bids!
