Am I Being Scammed...?

Hi guys...Bidding on a stamp on ebay, but found 2 different biddings for the same stamp...Whats going on..?

MY BIDDING






ANOTHER BIDDING..?

wert, as far as I can determine, the item is only listed once: item number 361066821671. Sometimes listings show up in various ways (you weren't signed in when looking at the "second" auction) and the only difference between the 2 listings is the US time zone of the bids - EDT (Eastern) and PDT (Pacific).

What I find interesting is the EDT. I wonder how the time zone changed. I always thought that west coast ebay was scourging the arrogant east by refusing to allow for time zone changes.

This is not a US ebay. I believe it is British?

My WAG is that you turned up a same listing, but on different ebay sites. The EDT maybe the Canadian site. Jerry

I think e-bay recognized Wert in the first listing because he was signed in and therefore knew his location (EDT). In the "second" listing, he's not signed in, so the time defaulted to e bay time (PDT).

I'm in the Eastern time zone and US ebay always shows the time as Pacific..

All is good....I got my stamp....

Score!

Probably the same lot viewed on two different ebay sites. On the top picture the bid of GBP 8.50 is converted to Canadian dollars, while on the bottom one, it's converted to US dollars.

Funny thing is I paid for it 4 days ago and he/she hasn't mailed it yet..Looked at all his/her negatives on ebay and they were all the same..Didn't receive parcel...yikes

Every seller does not use the ebay system
to keep track of items shipped....
Could be shipped.

Maybe you should have looked at the feedback before you bid. While it's the seller's responsibility to give as much information as possible, it's also the BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY to be a prudent buyer.

Hi Wert,

If it has been only 4 days since you paid then I would not be concerned yet!

A package from the UK to Canada takes about one week plus.....So even if it was mailed the same day (keep in mind the UK is 5hrs ahead of Toronto and probably evening when you made the payment!), then give it another 3 days at least before any loss of sleep.

But having said that, Glenn Estus' remarks are very valid.

Unfortunitly your have to almost get burned to become prudent.


ya...just don't have a good fuzzy feeling about this guy...!

Robert. Did you read my post above? I think this is an English ebay; Hereford is in England! This may take a couple of days. Please be a bit patient!
