Messed up Ping G5 listings

[joesgonegolfing]

There have been a rash of Ping G5 listings on EBAY for 100.00 BIN that keep getting pulled. The seller is out of the UK and has 100% positive feedback rating. This has gone on for 3 days...

 

Anyone know whats going on?

Undoubtedly someone is trying a scam.

This is a big problem on Ebay right now. I went on today looking for an R7 Tp for a friend. There were a bunch on there with the same exact description but different sellers. All of the sellers had good feedback but, nothing golf related...Gotta be careful these days...

Yeah, this has gotten very bad! I was shopping for a G5 and there were tons of fake listings. Most of them looked to have stolen descriptions, pictures and EBay ID names. I bought one that looked legit and was not a buy it now so I hope it comes as promised!

 

The ones with the Buy it Now are easier to spot though, mainly because of the lister's stupidity. They are all for around 70 bucks less than the item is worth, say 120 bucks or so, and they often put up three or four of the exact same listing at the same time. So if you see a good buy it now with 4 other listings with the same price and description, odds are it is fake!

I just did a quick search again for G5's and it appears that almost half the listings that are up are fake!!! Unreal!

I'm shopping as well for a G5 - be very very careful and look into the sellers previous items...
