Question

I've been looking on Ebay for a quad. I have come across a couple of adverts for really cheap Raptors and the like from people selling abroad. These deals seem too good to be true and I'm thinking there must be some sort of scam involved somewhere. The sellers feedback seems good enough, although I'm unsure of how secure Ebay really is. Anyone else have similar experiences, or bought a quad from Ebay?

These scams usually involve Western Union money transfers.

Cheers for the replies. As you say if its too good to be true then it must be dodgy. Likewise one of the responses I got from a seller would only deal with Western Union money transfers and really went off a deal when I suggested using a company like Escrow to handle the transaction.
