The person does not have 100% feedback, I noticed there feedback is also private. Even if the feedback is perfect do not assume that the person placing the ad is the real person, there have been many hijacked accounts on ebay.

I am not saying that there are no lagit deals on ebay but I have been watching them closely and have all but given up. There are a number of scams running:

One of them is posting links to sites running pyramid schemes (some of them tell you it is a site, others bury a disclosure deep in the tech specs in hopes of quick bucks thru paypal)

The second one advertizes XDA IIs but the pictures are carefully taken so that only one shows the antenna making it clearly and xda I.

The worst ones are hijacked live ebay accounts. I e-mailed asking a question of one seller and he told me not to bid as his hotmail and ebay accounts had been stolen. The item description later read 'do not bid! let me know if you have sent money so police and ebay reports can be filed.'

Check to see how long the auction runs for. If it is short and there is no reserve and bidding starts at $.99 you can BET it is a scam.

Feedback helps but it is not foolproof. I saw some that read 'Delivered what was promised' that was feedback from someone who paid $495 for a url to a site where they could get a $45 XDA II.

The problem with ebay accounts is the fact that the first part of your log in details is visible to everybody as your ebay account nickname, all thats needed is the password, it isnt rocket science to try put the most obvious passwords and get a hit. Ebay should change it so that no part of your log in details is available.
