Yeah... and free postage
That is too cheap even for empty boxes... Why the scam is so unsophisticated, are they looking for really really naive people?

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Film / Developing / Chemistry forum.
I'm surprised some forum members keeps on tossing it here.
Scam is second name of ebay these days. Time to realise it.

That's a great deal! Jump on it!
Seriously, as mentioned above, there are so many of these cheap film scams and we all look at them from time to time (collectively here at RFF). A few brave members even made orders, just to see what happens........
......what happened is exactly what we expected.
The "good" scammers at least offer a price that might just be believable. I think they get more victims that way. The ridiculously low priced offers are pretty obvious scams. Perhaps the folks who fall for those ones deserve it? Nah! Scammers are criminals and even naive people deserve to live in a decent world.

How do they scam you? In my experience, eBay tends to side with the buyer when they don`t receive something (especially if the shipper can`t show a tracking number). Paypal will refund you. It`s waste of time, but you don`t lose your money.

Already posted but this seems more of a scam than I found! And yes I don't know how sellers scam on eBay with how it works.

It's not the first time and they are just scams. There are thousands of such scams on eBay. They make use of your money for interests gathering or some other financial non-senses before refund it back to you.

The seller finally got back to me and stated that the sale is for 10 rolls of film, which was my question to them. Look at their feedback now. It shows 3 negative due to non delivery on this film and 1 negative for refusal to refund money, yet eBay lets them just go right on selling something that they do not ship.
