We all know the old saying, "if it's too good to be true it usually is" well I reckon it applies here, check out the prices of these tomtom riders from china!!!

i've bought a few bits off that guy and it's always been as described and delivered quickly, admittedly nothing too expensive but never had a problem with him

just seems strange that ALL his feedback happened within an hour, for identical products at identical prices, with zero product description.

smells like a feedback scam to me.

that's a completely different seller, and looks reasonably legit to me
same item ID tho,

wonder if there was a problem in Ebay's system, unless they are acting as a trader on behalf of someone.

but that seller still works of the OP link.

so do they give new sellers a old account number or something ? because that link in the first post still leads to TomTom's and the same rices.

Thank you for writing to eBay with your report regarding the feedback
and the items being sold by "ghtyjht". My name is Cambree and I
appreciate the chance to assist you with your report.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us with this information.

I have checked the account of the seller and I confirm this member is no
longer a registered user. Due to privacy law, I am not able to discuss
the details of another members account further.

Andrew, I would like to thank you for your help in keeping eBay a fun
and safe place to trade.

Regards,

Cambree Cramer
SafeHarbour Team


i can only assume that the product ID is reused OR the new seller is acting as a assisted trader for the supplier of the tomtom unit.
