Looks like a scam man.

He has no feedback rating which means he has never sold on ebay before. Lets face it, you cant get a turbo kit for that cheap.

DO NOT BUY IT WITH PAYPAL. PAYPAL IS NO SECURE.

I bought a turbo kit with Paypal thinking that if I go fucked I would get paypal to return my money. Well guess what? They said since the money that I sent was no longer in his paypal account there was nothing they could do.

If you can, try contacting him over the phone and pay with your credit card ONLY. This way you can always contest the charges but it sounds like a HIGE SCAM to me.

If it appears too good to be true then it probably is.

Re: Need quick help on ebay turbo kit!

i don't know? i have dealt with many people on ebay and have never had any problem with recieving my orders exactly as they were described. i also always pay through paypal and have never had any problems. i would say tell the guy you are very interested, but you would like to contact him over the phone and find out more about the products he is selling. not everything is too good to be true. for example i got a 500 dollar amp for 200 dollars. just be cautious and ask plenty of questions wether through email or on the phone.

Turbo

Find out where he is located at 1st and then if he is in the US then see if you can get his number. Also request that he send you this via COD as their are many whole sale companies out their. Also remember when buying something of that price be carefull as people do commit a lot of fraud on e-bay.

Turbo

It is only an openning bid its not a buy it now. I have seen some go for 1100.00 and it all depends on how many people want these. Also I think you should put a bid on it then request the user information and call the person. You will see if it is real or the fraud thing comes into play.

Re: Need quick help on ebay turbo kit!

anyone with 0 feedback and no seller history selling a product of this nature is fraudulant !!! once you bid you are locked in to it by contract ! if you then do not pay for the item Ebay will then see you as fraudulant and you will be expelled and they will send your information to a collection agency for the money !!! That happened to me and 2 other people I know on various items.. Dont even get envloved with this. The price is not going to get up to 1100 dollars like whats his name said because this is a dutch auctiont hats why it says there are multiple ones available, if it was a standard auction tehre would be a quantity of 1 for the item and he would just have multiple listings ! this is a dutch auction which means with every bid placed you buy it for that price ! Do it if you want but mi gonna say i told you so later !!
