Last night this was active, with 29 days to go.

Now its ended with only 2 sales... hmmm adds to the dodge.

Anyways - some guy in Germany with 10 Aus spec PS3's selling for $139 shipped to Australia. Sounds really shady to me, he has 31 sales things, all responses in German.

A mate is really keen to get a PS3, and after DSE shafted everyone, this was the next best option price wise.

Probably scam.

But at $132, with paypal.

Couldn't have hurt

With PayPal as a payment option, you know you've got protected cover. In addition, the guy is also selling HTC phones too.

Looking at the feedback, seems like this guy has been selling for a long time. You could always send a note to eBay staff. I've had a few scammers busted that way ... one of them was also trying to sell a PS3.

that HTC ad mentioned payment only allowed via Bank Transfer...

Only accepts bank transfers on the HTC

Looks legit

Htc is showing PayPal for me…

Would it usually display if the buyer couldn't select it? I'm not too sure how eBay works in this regard.

these days you have no choice on paypal - its mandatory.

In his text it states only bank transfer. I reported it like the good little citizen i am.
