I bought a food dehydrator from a seller from belgium. The seller joined ebay Jan1 2013. They have zero feed back. The item was half the going price plus free shipping. He sold all 10 in a matter of hours. The picture was a stock photo which I found on another good seller's page. I have now found another seller from belgium joined jan 1 2013 with another type same brand dehydrator selling 10 items with zero feed back. This seller has the same written text offering free shipping but the shipping box tells me it will cost ten bucks. I contacted my seller and asked how long it should take to ship. No reply, but minutes later the shipped box was lit-up. It would have been 3 in the morning in belgium when I sent the message. What should I do?

Hi there! I also bought a food dehydrator off of ebay. It was the excalibur 3900, I felt it was too good to be true but gave it a shot anyways. The seller also had no feedback. I am new to paypal and ebay, and should have went with my gut instinct. Needless to say, they had 10 to sell, sold them within hours.. the seller had an ebay id with 7 letters and 3 numbers... free shipping.. These ones were coming from New Brunswick though. Right after they got paid, they no longer were an ebay member. Ebay notified me and told me not to pay them... but it was too late. NOW i have filed a claim.
WARNING-- i decided to hunt through the dehydrators once again and found two more users - 7 letters, 3 numbers - both selling cheap dehdrators, both 0 feedback. I contacted ebay and the users and their ads were removed. Two days later I see there are yet 3 more users with the same id format. This is a huge SCAM! I got ripped and lord knows when I will get my money back. I guess if it seems to good to be true, IT IS!
