Possible ebay scam???

I know this is not a Jet but they are selling a turbine with this heli.
I saw this and it looked odd to me because the seller has 0 feedback, they've been a member less that a week and there is a lack of specifics in regards to the setup other than "Futaba Receiver, Futaba 401 Gyro, and Futaba Servos".
I looked at the bidders list and a few also have 0 feedback and have also been an Ebay member less than a week, some bidders less than a year.
If this is legitimate, then I apologize for any allegations of wrong-doing but it smells fishy to me especially with all the other scams that have been reported lately.

It could be a scam but it might be real, he is willing to take paypal . As far as joining e-bay one has to start somewhere,watch it for a day or two. But Remember If It's Too good of a deal It most likely Bogus.
Related E bay deal on a camera, the seller . had a buy now price that was Smoking,First Red Flag, then wanted a bank transfer /western union check sent to him in Europe ......Second RED FLAG !!!!!!!

The lack of information and pictures is a little scary... however if it is an older person it could be someone that is not to familiar with ebay... however, with the lack of info, pictures, and no record... I would be wary... -Steve

Well I guess it is a mute point now since eBay has removed the add.
I have seen that happen before on something that I had bid on, eBay cancelled the add, and then I was bombarded by emails from the scammer to try to close the deal outside of eBay. Yup only a wire transfer was accepted, yes I laughed at him.
