cheap dvd comand on ebay?

What do you guys think about this?

The guy is in Lithuania and only takes bank transfers and it's way cheaper than anywhere else. As a casual ebayer, that sounds like a scam. But look at his feedback, almost 1k of positive feedback. If only he took paypal or some form of credit card payment, I'd be all over this.

+1 on the no paypal.

From my recollection, paypal only requires an email and a bank account; It shouldn't matter if you're located in Antarctica.

I would stay away from that for two reasons. 1. If it seems too good to be true it probably is. 2. Its from a place I never heard of. 3. No paypal protection

I say no...like the guys said no paypal no sale for me. Also do a search for Lithuania...I think there was a thread on this awhile back. Most of the concerns were that these COMAND pieces are stolen? Buyer beware.

Been discuss on the board. Most of these Liths are stolen units from Germany.

Seems like a good idea, all the major shippers have the service. I tried to find the details in a sea of fine print. Probably best to call the 800 num for the scoop on COD.

I'd be more than a little nervous about it. 1000 pos feedback are a lot but I know of people faking dozens of pos feedback with inside transactions. 1000 would take some time but what does someone in Lithuania have a lot of? Probably time.

You have to be careful because eBay's ID's can get hijacked!
There is a reason why he doesn't want to offer paypal protection!
You could also try escrow.com!
