eBay Scam alert

There are several ARH sculptures listed on eBay right now at competitive prices and bidding wars have been fun to watch. However, all these pieces are listed by one seller from Malaysia and these pieces technically don’t exist. I know as I won a past auction by this or similarly named seller before and I’m not sure what the whole point was other than getting excited for a statue and having my payment refunded. Anyway, it’s happenning so if you want the thrill of getting Arkhalla, Poseidon or many others, now is your chance. Just don’t expect to get anything in the end.

Not sure if my report was read or something. Else happened, but all the seller’s listings were removed. Yay! Unfortunately I can’t tell if the seller himself was removed or not.

These auctions from Malaysia have been on eBay since a couple of months. Everytime with an other seller but the seller always has a really low feedback score and only as a buyer.

This is the third one I’ve reported to eBay this month. It’s getting ridiculous and I really don’t know what the point is on making these fake listings. Kinda lost on me.

Awesome, Zeus, hope you get what you need/want out of them. Wouldn’t mind having an Achilles if I wasn’t already getting a Medusa. Money can only stretch so far. :/

Not sure which Achilles you have but I have a couple of them and the Atlantis and they are really nice. Anybody on the fence should definitely consider them.

They're just fishing for suckers.
Won one but knew it was a scam. Messaged the guy that if he intended to ship it I'd pay. He replied back his PayPal had been limited due to too many transactions but he'd send me another invoice and put the statue in the title.


Sure boss.

So I forget about it and the douche opens a non paying bidder dispute. So I pay the original auction with PayPal credit and tell him I figure he's a fraud but let's see what he's got.
By morning payment refunded and another message about sending payment to a different PayPal account.

Sure boss, sure.
