MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Kindle 3 for $45 on eBay. Is it scam or not?

I had not paid yet (bought one earlier today).

I went onto eBay and the item is no longer listed under my "won" category. It was there about two hours ago, now it's totally gone.

I know eBay pulled the auction, but I do find it strange they didn't send me anything regarding this. Had I not known about this thread, I would have no idea what was going on.

Oh well. Probably a stolen bulk shipment form China. Some people reported the auction to Amazon, they contacted eBay and had them end the auction.

Wonder if those who paid immediately will get theirs? I doubt it.

I'm not surprised at all. Guess I'll go on enjoying my legit K3!
