Sarah R asked:

I just wanted to warm anyone who even bothered to check out the websites and awed at jaw dropping prices, DONT BOTHER!!!! Its a scam! I have indeed bought 2 bathing suits that arrived securely. However I was looking to buy mac eyeshadow palettes that was supposed to be $8! Sounded amazing till i asked about shipping prices. They claimed the total would be $65! I dont know about you and i know china is not right next door but $65 for a pallet at less than a pound is completly out of hand! They claimed shipping is high because EMS charges by gram however when i asked to add a tiny mascara the total was $145. Now thats ridiculous. The mascara weighs 10 times less but cost more. And they try to convince you that you’re saving money on shipping prices. One time they never even gave me what I ordered a month passed by and the guy was all nice until i gave him my payment then he deleted his account and i never heard of him again! Im working with the bank thats having a hard time tracing this guy. Alibaba has a few genuine sellers but a bunch of scammers as well. They robbed my friend $1000 for a Flatscreen and clothing. Instead they never sent it and the guy deleted his account as well! TOTAL SCAMMERS! Shipping from China is not that expensive either no offense to asians but most Chinese companys I been running into are completly scamming everyone I know. Please try ordering from withing the US it is so much more secure, easier to contact sellers, and shipping prices are way less. Seriously for anyone considering a purchase from either websites really turn the other way. If you insist on still going through with it look at the red flags!!!!

1. The prices are ridiculously unicredibly low. I mean $0.99 for a Fendi bag please!

2. The shipping costs are ridiculous. Anything weighing less than a pound and costing more than $15 RED FLAG

3.CHINESE SELLERS!!!!

4. They avoid direct questions. They switch topics or what they tell you makes no sence and is poorly worded as if there are no grammer skills.

5.Read the posts that other put on their pages although they usually delete the bad ones there are usually a few missed from buyers wondering why they still havent received their items

6.They all have the same exact pictures with other sellers of the same exact items. For example 5 differen sellers with different names but they all sell that pair of pants on the exact yellow table in the back ground with a green cucumber be for real

7. They claim that theyre businesses and have other sites but however they are on at times that chinese businesses are closed like 1 am.

8. There are chinese letters all over pictures of their products, several chinese lettering on their page, and they have an asian screename but claim to be from within the US.

Hopes this helps all those that thought it was too good to be true. Dont get me wrong there are some genuine sellers. But ask many questions before purchases. Ask about their policies, returns, how they determine the shipping costs. Look for anything fishy or that tells u thats just not right.Iif you still insist on the purchase heres one more tip make ur purchase through paypal if they cant always stop it, at least when you file a fraud claim. They will be in charge of returning your money in full instead of having to locate some unknown stranger!

I put a Used iPod Touch on ebay starting at $100 and I get this message:

Hello,Am donald Williams.i really love to purchase you item ..I can offer you $250 for this Item and $50 postage to my cousin schooling abroad
I will be paying via Paypal which is 100% secure and safe for the both of us whereby after i submit the payment you will receive a Confirmation mail from paypal confirming my payment then you get the item ship and reply paypal with the shipment tracking number then the funds will be transferred into your account, however the money will be deducted from my account ALREADY and it will be deposited with paypal till they receive the shipment tracking number…This is a security on my account and i have been using it securely for the past few years back now as you can see my feedbacks,reply me with your PAYPAL EMAIL ADDRESS NOW so that i can process the payment now!
P.S i need the Item very urgent as a birthday gift so i need a FAST SALE…can’t wait till listing ends!
Hope to do Good and Sincere Transaction with you
God Bless.

I totally think it’s fake even after looking at his feedback (http://myworld.ebay.com/hdh02). But if he sent me the money in paypal and I transferred it to my bank then sent him the iPod Touch could I still get scammed?

Kindly Be Informed That Under The Enabling Act Of Parliament, Diplomatic Courier Delivery Has To Be Issured By The SHELL Insurance Ministry Before Been Dispatched By Courier Delivery. This company declined reverse payment for these charges, stating that it is against their professional policy towards ensuring the safe delivery of the cheque to you. That if a reverse payment is made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the cheque since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing.With the above reason, reverse payment is ruled out. which makes it absolutely necessary to produce the courier fee before courier can despatch delivery. Note: that your prize is protected by a hardcover insurance policy, which makes it impossible to deduct any amount from the money before it has been remitted to you. This means that the above charges cannot be deducted from the prize and hence must be provided by you before your prize is transferred to you.
