Ebay Scam - duplicate listing after I purchased a watch

[Big558869]

I am not sure whether this is the right place for this, but wanted to point this out and seek advice on the alternativels available to me.

I bid and won a Ulysse Nardin GMT Big date watch a few days ago. The price was a tad low but not too good to be true.

I am now shocked to see the same watch being sold for much higher price on Ebay.

Any ideas what I can do. The listings are from two different user names.

I have paid using paypal. Does this help me in any way. The watch is on its way to me by DHL and should be with me in the next couple of days. I am however sure that it is going to be a piece of cr@p.

1) Open it with video and independent witnesses.
2) check it against advertisement and description.
3) verify it isn't fake at a reputable and qualified watchmaker.

If it doesn't check out in any way, contact the seller for a refund. If that doesnt work, file a dispute with EBay and present your evidence. It's a pain, but you will get your money back.

Let us hope that the second one is the scammer and not the first one.

I have spoken about this to my credit card company, they have advised me to collect all possible evidence and also get the watch evaluated by Ulysse Nardin botique if it is fake or real.

I shall file a pay pal dispute the moment I lay my hands on the watch. I am sure I have a good enough judgement to detect whether the watch is a fake or genuine by now. (watch box contains a navitimer world, iwc portuguese, franck muller, panerai (one real, one extra ordinary replica) and a cartier by now.)

This may be an expensive learning experiance not to buy anything valueable online. I bought because the seller passed the smell test. Any way, only time will tell.... in more ways than one.

I hope paypal has got the infrastructure to help me out if there is a problem.

What makes me a bit concerned about the seller you purchased the watch from is that the photos of the watch are so much better than the photos he posts in his other auctions. If you paid through Paypal with a credit card, you have the additional option of disputing the charge with your credit card, so that's an additional level of appeal. If your credit card company backs you up, Paypal will decide in your favor as well.

[Big558869]

Yes, the credit card company has asked me to file a claim with them and also with Paypal. I just want to lay my eyes on the package he has sent me before I do anything.

Is ebay always so trecherous? Which is a relatively reliable option to buy used watches? I can see that there are a lot of sellers on this site as well.... but I am totally spooked now.

Looks like the second seller is a scammer, look on his items for sale:

You should be safe if you report it to Paypal immediately. Paypal and eBay are quite supportive in this respect and should help you chase the money back. Paypal has the seller's bank details etc.

Good luck, I hope you either get the watch you wanted or your money back!
