Something is definitely not right, so I cancelled the transaction.

What are the chances of this actually being legit?
.512%
Bought one for the lulz
It's not a question of legit as much as "Will someone eat the cost to honor it"
which on ebay, is, as flandy said... .512%
since it's a personal seller and not say, amazon.
Wouldn't even go through for me, so I'll just enjoy from a distance
Also an issue now. 2 irl friends couldn't do it.

I don't shop on eBay a lot, but I'm assuming that sellers have the choice to just tell everyone to fuck off and reject payment, right? If it's a mistake, they're not obligated to honor it.

The other stuff he is selling is dirt cheap as well and they are normally high priced electronics... I don't know if I trust this. It straight up won't let me buy it anyway so it's not even an option for me. Keeps giving me this message, "We were not able to process your PayPal payment."

I ordered the SSD and when I add his other stuff to my cart I get the following
> The item you've selected was not added to your cart.

WTS QB PC code will give the code when I get it from Xbox. $30
My order says it was shipped too despite me cancelling the payment. It's a dud auction, and there's many signs pointing to shady business.
I wouldn't be surprised if I see account attacks soon on my email address and PayPal.

Lol.
Actually, I just got a shipping email for the SSD.
I wonder what happens now. I'm not going to feel ok til I actually have it in my hands and it actually works. I never get lucky with things like these.
Totally a dud auction like the wii u's
but...attack on account?
You all worry too much, I didn't change my password for 5 years and it was a leak that got my password taken eventually.
So yeah, nothings going to happen.
Strangelove77
Member
Yeah. The other stuff the person is selling also has ridiculous prices attached.
I probably shouldn't have bothered.

Maybe not the best place to ask this but I'm not sure where I should, does gamestop sell gamecube games?
Oh, I'm not worried for my account, but I do expect emails regarding suspicious login attempts or forgotten password claims. At the very least, a ton of spam to an otherwise clean account.
Something was clearly meant to be gained with this, and it sure wasn't good will.
VlaudTheImpaler
tl;dr
Well if someone wants to buy one of the SSDs for me I will pay you $5 dollars more for your trouble as well as shipping costs. It just won't let me order one no matter how many times I try. :/
I use a password generated by a password manager so I'm rather confident they wouldn't be able to get in
At least I hope so

Gamestop.com sells them but there isn't a great selection.
However, I was told by a GameStop manager that select stores will start taking Gamecube trades at some point and then they will start selling them in stores.

What happens to the buyer after they paid?
Can't they see your paypal email once you send them payment? Seems like an easy way to get a ton of legit paypal emails to sell off.
I mean sure, but I've been caught in multiple "dud" auctions, never had anything bad happen.
Nothing bad happened to me. Just when I called paypal to get my refund they mentioned that there were multiple attempts to get into my account.
the scammer closes their account and makes off with all the money
eBay/PayPal refunds the buyer out of their own pockets
next quarter sellers get their fees raised
capitalism

PMed.
And this is why selling on GAF>selling on ebay
on that note I think people forget when pricing stuff here that "I could make a little more on ebay!" doesn't actually apply in the slightest

So I got an eBay email telling me that I bought from a compromised account and that the transaction was canceled, but now I have a pending charge on PayPal I can't do anything about.

My kid has a pair of those cat hear headphones they want to sell. Thought I'd see if there was anybody interested in these. They've only been used a couple times. The reason for selling them is that they seem to be incompatible with iphones, tried them on a 5c and a 6 and both times when you plug them in Siri pops up and you can't get it to go away. Works fine on my android and with game consoles. They really seem like good headphones, I'm no audiophile but they seem no different than the beats i had before, and the ears are speakers and they are pretty loud. here's a stock pic. I'll see if I can get a pic of the actual item. My kid says they are still like new and still have the original box. Looking for $110 shipped. Paypal only.
