Good Deal on DJI Phantom 2?

So does anyone else think something is amiss here? I used Buy It Now but have not received a payment confirmation yet. I have a feeling this is one of those ""too good to be true" moments.http://www.ebay.com/itm/231423931083?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Looks like a good deal, but with a feedback rating of ZERO, it may too good to be true.

    You know, Parallax still has ELEV-8's in stock, on sale. :)

    Andy,

    Any confirmation from the seller?

    That would be an awesome deal.

    Based on what you are finding out, your account still having the money in it may be the awesome deal!

    @mindrobots, you might be right. I checked and it appears that the money is not there any longer. I am getting no response from the seller and this really bothers me. However, if there is an issue eBay will refund the money and if they do not per their own policy then I will just dispute it with my bank. I am hoping for the best which would be to have it show up at my door just before Christmas but it does not look promising. Live and learn but I wish it would have happened any time other than Christmas as it makes a bad year end even worse.

    You don't want that thing anyway, you would be bored of it within minutes. It's like buying a Sony AIBO instead of a BOE Bot.

    Keep copies of your records, that way ebay will have something to work with. And if you complain enough you can get someone band from selling on ebay. I've had to do this, it takes time and ebay is getting better on how they handle things. And after 8+ years I'm still using ebay. If you do get it leave a friendly reminder on what the seller needs to improve on in the future. Every one makes mistakes.

    If you notice, the auction has been removed. The guy had ZERO feedback, and IMHO, was a scammer. Ebay probably pulled his user ID.

    Hopefully Andy gets his money back soon.

    I used PayPal to pay and per their own policy along with eBay's policy I should have no problem getting my money back. If I do, I can also dispute with my bank. One way or another I will get money back or item. I am just torqued because now I have nothing to do Christmas day at daughters house!!!!

    Well, I'm sad that I did not get my item but I was issued a full refund today.
