Scam Alert: E-Bay!

I have been informed of several eBay sellers attempting to offer and sell some of my razors. Not only did they steal my photographs without my permission, but they blatantly copied the exact listing I have posted on my website. They even went so far as to provide the razors with different maker names. In the meantime two the razors they are trying to sell have already been sold.

The scammers are known as Viking Shop 123 and Ayrastore

I am not affiliated with either of them. From my understanding, they are operating a scam known as a tracking number scam. An individual purchases an item, receives a tracking number for pre-shipment, and is notified by the seller that the item is out of stock or damaged but will arrive. Subsequently, the tracking number mysteriously shows as delivered to the buyer’s zip code. This leads to a contentious dispute with E-bay to obtain a refund. This scam is similar to the non-delivery scam, where the seller accepts payment but fails to ship the product. Occasionally, they provide counterfeit tracking numbers to delay suspicion.

Although it is frustrating, it is beyond my ability to have it taken down. Despite multiple notifications from various individuals, eBay has yet to respond, indicating a lack of concern for the matter. It is evident that eBay prioritizes revenue generation over the specific methods employed to achieve it.

Just be aware of the situation and stay safe.
