New Charge Plus on ebay. Proceed with Caution!
on: June 19, 2019, 11:33:40 AM
Spotted this on Ebay @ $60 or best offer with $10 shipping. A little too good to be true. A pretty good deal if it is legit. Imo, Proceed with Caution!!

IMO DO NOT proceed.  Too many red flags here:

New seller (joined ebay 18 june)
Zero feedback
Price way below market value (and accepting offers)
10 available

Anyone that falls for this bait is likely to regret it.

I have seen a lot of these so called good offers on eBay
And not just for tools but every time you check their feedback it’s always 0
And that they are new on eBay I wouldn’t trust it and would stay away from it  >:(

I did asked some question to the best I could to make sure. He seems and sounds legit enough. The transaction is covered by PayPal and eBay protection. So I think I should be quite safe.. We will see tmr. Honestly feeling pretty good about this.

I am very very happy to report that the deal was legitimate.  :mail:  Item was received new in the box. I was part of the bandwagon that got the deal for $70 for the BO Charge+. This deal was sweeter than that.  :D Big thanks to the seller if u happen to be here and reading this!

I have to admit that I was wrong - Sam got a great deal.  :tu:    But I'd still shy away of any future deals with the same characteristics as IMO it is risky.

There's nothing wrong with having doubts about that listing. Especially when it's a new ebay seller with zero feedbacks. Multiple pcs and crazy low price. I was very sceptical too. But what the heck.. I had been scammed before a few times, but PayPal and eBay always covers my back. Its a mad mad world.
