$69 plus $6.95 or the $6.95 is included?

If you ask nicely maybe they’ll waive the fee. Everyone knows vGC fees eat into MS margins…

Shipping kills the deal, truckloads of MCGSs…



Then PayPal maxes out…


I clicked retry like 1000 times and it still isn’t working…

A Chinese seller on Amazon emailed offering to PayPal me money in advance so I could purchase and review their computer speakers. I gave them my PayPal link and they sent $60 so I ordered the item. What are potential scams I need to look out for? I’m not planning on giving them anymore information

The scam is giving them a 5 star review if the product is not 5 stars.

Amazon will also catch on after a bit and ban you from leaving reviews.

Even if it is 5 stars, it is illegal (yes, illegal) to leave a review without disclosing you got the product for free. If you do disclose that, Amazon will remove the review, and possibly prevent you from posting reviews in the future.

Bump

Can't be 100% sure but I'd lean more towards saying Scam:

1. Website was registered 3 weeks ago
2. Business address is this house.
3. Pricing seems too good to be true.

Obviously there's some (slim) possibility that it's legit, but I vote Scam.
