There are lots of these too-good-to-be-true listings from Chinese sellers with zero feedback.
I can only assume that you pay, the money is then transferred out of PayPal and all linked bank accounts and cards closed before you make a non-delivery claim. However, that all seems like a lot of work for precious little profit.

Last evening I saw a £25 whole Corgi set car transporter with five scarce cars... from China.
What is chance for such a set to be in China ?
I let some other adventurous collectors buy it.

I know where the model is (not with me) and have informed the purchaser.

Fraud listing has been removed from E-Bay by the look of it.

just an add on to this and the couple of dodgy sellers topic (should we merge these two threads as basically they are about the same problem)
some more Matchbox have been listed and also Corgi and Dinky are being affected too many to list but just put China as the search location and I looked under BIN wow there's some bargains out there :lol: :lol: :lol:
