Buying oil off eBay

[puellarum]

To me it's not worth the savings to buy oil and filters on eBay.
Too much risk of counterfeit, stolen, failed QC, or damaged products.
Especially if the seller is overseas.

I've done it many times. It's not counterfeit. Somehow they get it from Walmart.

I had the same exact thing happen with a purchase on Ebay and it came from Rock Auto.
$40 shipped liquimoly while Rock Auto lists it for $52.

No idea, this was like a week ago.

I forget where I came across this (might have been this forum), but someone was explaining how this is a money laundering/credit card scam.

Yeah, I think it was called "Triangulation Fraud". Somebody sets up a Ebay account with a stolen credit card and takes in payment from Ebay and uses the stolen credit card to order and drop ship from Walmart.
