Notice Payment methods.
No Paypal, bank transfer only. Dont listen to the mumbo jumbo abou thow safe the transfer is.. of course a bank transfer is safe. The money he is stealing from you will DEFINATELY get there.
Only use payment methods that ahve some sort of buyer assurance program. It's not near as easy to run a scam through Paypal, although it is possible. Bank Transfers have no liability. They jus tmove money. They dont care where to and how much and what for.
Just keep a lookout for stuff like that.

you all are ******* paranoid...the guy has been on ebay for 16 days and has 271 positive feedback...and alot of the feedback says great deal and **** like that, which leads me to believe he sells alot of stuff below wholesale cost...remember, if he's selling it at that price, he must be getting it for less

THIS IS FRAUD dont buy it
look at his feed back carefully
ALL OF THEM ARE NEW BUYERS AND SELLERS
im not sure how he did it, but he has made numerous accounts and is rating HIMSELF with the fake accounts.
ALOT of the new buyers with 50+ feedback are NO LONGER REGISTERED and they are BRAND new accounts.
he also has FOUR items listed for sale.
with that huge feedback in less than amonth, there should be like 50+ items for sale at any given time.

Anytime a seller (especially one outside the US) requests you to leave EBAY and wire him a bank transfer, it's a scam. No legitimate dealer would require that.
Go ahead and order from him if you don't think it's a scam. At that price, you could resell them for a profit on the forum. Let us know how it goes...

I wouldn't buy anything from him, but if it's not legit, he went through a ton of work to rip someone off for only $500. 
Edit: something isn't right. If you go to the feedback section and look at the feedback of the people that left him feedback, and THEN look at the items that they bought/sold, they are all things of NO value. It's like a whole ring of scammers.

I'll take him up on the offer...only cuz I'd scam him lol. For a bank transfer, he'd need to give you his account #... 
If anyone's DUMB enough to give him THEIR account #, well, hell, I'll sell you my FD for $20, what's your bank account number? 
I've sold a TON of parts over the past two years or so. Nothing like Fritz, but still a hella lot. And I'll tell you, any REAL seller knows that a very important part of business is ensuring the customer feels secure about what they're buying - that means enough detailed pics, strong consistant feedback, secure payment method, etc. It works both ways - I gotta cover my end, but I make sure it's in a manner that'll cover you too. If not, really...there are better sellers out there, and people WILL pay more for a bit more security, knowing they're actually going to get what they paid for - and in the condition described ----- unless you're gullible.

The scammer could work for $1 a day, or scam gullible americans
Think about all the scams coming out of Africa. They can either work their farms all year and maybe make 500 bucks, or scam people and make a five figured income.
