Fake eBay clone site - iPhone

[SkyActivG]

I'm not sure what to think of this sale. The listing states that the devices and New. The seller has perfect feedback of over 5000, but I don't see any feedback for these iPhone, which apparently almost 300 have been sold. What do you all think. A 7+ 128Gig for $550 is just crazy. The listing is also odd because it's only listing the 128 and 256 gig models.

Is that really ebay?

Does seems like a fake website, because of http and not https? Also, if I click on the seller( with feedback count) and go into their page to see what they have for sale, can't see any iPhones?

Not sure, if it's a legit one or no? But price is extremely hot, if real!

BTW, there's no 'item number' too. So that I can search on ebay website?

I would guess grey market imports. Not necessarily a bad thing its done with expensive watches, camera's and vehicles all the time. If I bought one I would take it to the Apple store to verify the warranty and make sure its authentic.

NO. That is definitely NOT "eBay".

The domain registrant information for myelbay-item dot com is "protected" and is not publicly available. The site itself is hosted in India.

It definitely seems to be a scam, I am already logged in to myebay and not directing me to that web page, instead asking to 'commit' and then need to enter my address.

Also, graphics seems to be odd too!

You can contact the seller and ask if he is the one selling them, he is on the real ebay.

The ad appears to have vanished, maybe it's because eBay caught it because Saturday is a busy day for eBaying. I knew this was one of those scenarios.... If it sounds too good, then it's a [censored] scam.

Yeah, every EBay item listed has an item number.
It's very hard to find by eye, but it's always there.
(Use the browser to search)

The other red flag is they only accept payment via iTunes gift card.

It's a scam. It's not eBay. Run away.

 

[JMJNet]

It has an "l" between the "e" and the "B".

Scam.

 

[Doc8404]

Are you even serious posting this?
eBay is not eLbay.
And at the site, no other links work.

I knew the answer when I asked the question. If you click on the seller it takes you to their real eBay profile, and that seller is not selling any iPhones.

It's an elaborate Phishing attempt.

Yeah it's fake. When you click on the eBay logo it doesn't go to the main page. Most of the other links don't work except for one which shows listings on the real eBay site.
