HTC EVO unlocked for 33 CAD ! Is it a scam???

How could he have shipped it at midnight?!

Was thinking the same thing. Prob has to do that to get the money.
Or used an online shipping portal to at least print out the labels. Positive thinking.
Are the post offices in Canada open Tom?

They're closed. They have the same labor day as us. So let's say he really is shipping you a new phone....why oh why would someone sell 100 of them for $33? He easily could've sold them for $200 or even $150!

I Just got this email from Ebay


Hello XXXXX,

We're writing to let you know that this listing for an item you won or bid on is no longer available:

271049839317 - New HTC Inspire 4G A9192 GSM Unlocked Android Cell Phone AT&T T-Mobile

We understand this may be disappointing, but occasionally we need to remove listings. In some cases, the item itself is fine, but was listed in a way that didn't follow eBay's guidelines.

Here's what you can do next:

-- If you already paid, received your item, and you're satisfied, please disregard this notice.
-- If you won the item but haven't paid, don't pay. Since eBay removed the listing, you're no longer obligated to go through with the transaction.
-- If you already paid for this item through eBay, and it's past the estimated delivery time, you can open a case in our Resolution Center. Click the link below, and select the "I haven't received it yet" option. This will guide you through the process of opening a case.
http://resolutioncenter.ebay.com

If the seller offers you the item outside of eBay, we strongly discourage you from accepting the offer. These types of transactions are extremely risky and aren't covered by eBay buyer protection programs.

If you didn't pay through eBay or PayPal, and:
-- You paid by Western Union or MoneyGram, contact the company directly (Western Union 800-325-6000 or MoneyGram 800-926-9400).
-- You paid by check, contact your bank to stop payment.

Thanks,

eBay
