Can this be real - Just bought a Stokke Xplory for £132!!!

[Greengirlforever]

I've not posted on this topic before but I'm still pinching myself! I've been keeping an eye on Stokke Xplory pushchairs for about a month and even used ones never go for less than ?350. This one was from an American seller (has 5 diff prams still on there - also all ridiculously low). The buy it now price was the same as the start price for bidding so I bought it now! All listed today. Seller's feedback seems fine, postage only ?22 from USA. Nothing now can go wrong..... can it???

I bought a phil a teds off the same person for £119 this morning also, i saw the stokke and he had a bugaboo also which has now gone.
I too think its maybe to good to be ture but if thins go wrong should be able to claim back through paypal.

Well stay in touch, jelybeanz on when (or if!!) they arrive etc.

I just sold my p & t last week for £275 and was really missing it i was just having a look and saw it so bought it!
I wont believe it's true till i have it mind you!
How long do you reckon they should take to ship?
Most ofhis feedback is for buying not selling too! but hey what the heck its worth a risk

[misdee]

i have found it.

tbh it looks dodge to me accoujt not used since july, now lists a load of prams?

and it wont be £22 from america to ship. it costs that to post a p3 pramette in the UK.

[misdee]

if it seems to good to be true, then it probably is!

[Piffle]

too good to be true IMO

[jellybeanz]

yes i know what you mean misdee, will let you know what happens!

[NotAnOtter]

too good to be true

[Piffle]

i think his account has been hacked
this happened to me
buyer put up loads of buy it now listings all stupidly cheap, all for handbags.
tons of people bought but luckily ebay pinged them
Wait to pay is my advice

[misdee]

loads of accounts got hacked this week.

[Piffle]

esp as user id kept private yet in previous auctions has not kept ids private
Def dodgy

[Piffle]

pls pls do not pay

[geekgrrl]

I agree - the whole thing looks like a textbook-case hijacked account

[misdee]

no, ebay have changed it so any bids over £100 on any item it automatically goes to private listing.

[Piffle]

okies misdee
Still def think this is hijacked account
Not sure what paypal can do about it tbh as people empty the accounts, close it and leg it.

[misdee]

you wont be able to claim back once he has c,losed paypal account.

PLEASE DONT PAY, OR CLAIM YOUR MONEY BACK NOW!!

[jellybeanz]

What you reckon greengirlflower?
Have you paid yet?

[Piffle]

Alert you girls
It is FRAUD
I emailed the seller (emails still go to the right person)
He said this

I am not selling anything on ebay. Sales using this email address are considered fraud and should be reported immediately to ebay security.
You girls need to report it ASAP
ctc your credit card company NOW to try and stop the payment.
I hope none of you paid and get your money back

[Greengirlforever]

Errm - yes I did - HOWEVER - thoroughly scared (and rightly so!) by you lot I have duly phoned PayPal and established that even if their account closes I will get at least £105 back under Ebay protection, which I can live with. I have also had my concerns registered against my account, which should ensure I get the full amount back when the time comes as the sellers account is not closed as yet, and is, according to PayPal, a "legitimate" account.

I have also asked PayPal to report this group of sales to Ebay to look into straight away, which they are doing.

Still hope it's ok though - I want the pushchair!

[Piffle]

it's not ok it's not real

[misdee]

its a HACKED ACCOUNT. CLAIM YOUR MONEY BACK NOW!!!

[Piffle]

he has closed his acct on ebay now
He has emailed me as ebay are deregistering while they reset him.

[CornflakeKid]

GGF - oh no! If you lodge a complaint through paypal now they will withhold the money from his account - do it now!!! Do it through paypal not ebay first - you can then say dispute not resolved and he doesn't get money. Good luck hun!
