http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZjohn-zatkoffllc317

So this new guy with 2 f/b starts selling shoes(?), and a bunch of expensive electronics - two flat screens and a handful of HD-DVD players (my brother wants an a35). Offhand my scam-o-meter is pegged, but his singular buying feedback is for a hell of a roll of bubble wrap, and I also found this:

http://www.alibaba.com/company/11318118.html

Which seems legit and the address matches, although the services don't match what he's selling on ebay. I suppose at the worst you'd be out $20 for shipping after doing a paypal dispute/CC chargeback, but still...anybody want to take a stab as to whether this stuff is for real?

Thanks,
Ben

I got some Fujitsu plasma TV boards from a guy who sells those - and gift baskets. Totally legit... So, weird stuff does happen.

I wouldn't chance it, but the guy seems legit to me. His TVs are used and he discloses problems they have. A scammer, not actually having anything to sell, would have represented them as new and perfect.

Still, I don't take chances on 2 feedback sellers. There's not enough history to tell whether he's a good or bad seller.
