    Hi, everyone ! I want to tell you about my buying FJ helmet on E-bay .
    item nr 6533447831 , helmet was sold for $4451 , I was not winner and 1 day after end of auction I received a letter from e-bay about a Second chance offer , I answered to this and said YES to buy this helmet.
    After this I received a new message . He called Stive -owner of helmet and wrote to me about rules of buyng . " You can buy helmet for $ 4500 " - he said me in that letter . I was be ready to buy , but something seems was wrong to me...... may be because He asked transfering money by Western union , may be something else - I dont know , but I decided to check this man more ........
    I send message to winner of item and asked him why he dont buying the helmet
    Wow !!!!!
    Winner said to me next-
    " Hello, Don't pay anyone!!. Someone is trying to rip you off! (SCAM!). Helmet
    is sold to me.
    You should report it to The proper Authorities.
    Sincerely,"

    Finnaly I find Real seller and he said to me - " I dont know who can doing this !!!! "

      This is the latest form of eBay scam - do not reply to these - oftentimes, the emailer/"seller" user name or email address is completely different from the person selling on eBay, so they are easy to spot.

          Always ask for more photos

          Another thing to check also is whether the first seller can provide specific photos You ask for, before end of auction.

          Recently in Germany there was a criminal seller who took photos of authentic helmets from dealer's websites and put them on sale when he didn't have them. 3 of his identities were removed from ebay but I think he will be back.
