Was having a browse on e-Bay and looked at this item,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pioneer-Touch-Screen-sat-nav-DVD-player-with-CD-Changer_W0QQitemZ180152035796QQihZ008QQcategoryZ39762QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

opened it up and immediately knew it was a scam, seller is a member for one day and has no feedback plus it's a typical scam item.

Was going to hit back on my browser and had look and seen the feedback this time, now they are a Business Seller, a Power Seller, have almost 500 feedback which is 100% positive.

I don't think anyone is stupid enough to fall for something so stupid but be careful none the less.

I have informed e-Bay of the seller and their antics, so could be a while before it's sorted. Like i said though be careful, they'll try anything to scam you now.

Your missing the point. Look again. And read my first post. I'm surprised how many people aren't getting this after it has been explained to them as well.
