My son wanted some very expensive books for his birthday that are hard to find. A set of 3 that usually run around 60 to 80 quid each.

I found a set newly listed on ebay for £100 for all 3 books. However it was a new seller, zero sales, no feedback. The account has only been created in the last week and to top it off his username is CON_ then random numbers 🤣 I'm just asking for it aren't I?!

He posted them right away and they're out for delivery, so can we just cross our fingers thar its the actual books posted and not a stack of smyths toys catalogues or something 😬

I couldn't find the book anywhere else!

I hope you haven’t. Fingers crossed for you!

I think it’ll be fine and you will be protected by eBay if not.

Did they ask you to pay as “Friends & Family”?
