Idk about this site. But eBay protects you, so it's not risky.

Well, that seller was a scam. Never shipped, and as soon as I filed dispute with Paypay, i was refunded instantly. I guess they know the seller.

If site is legit. How are they letting sellers get away like that?

Lol, every single thing on the site is $399. The weird name/URL on its own is also a tip off

The fact that he didn’t even pay for a simple domain, gives him away.

I do alot of buying on ebay so heres an example:
1) Seller has 0 feedback - it could be he's new user but there's a 90% chance hes a scammer
2) Price is low - an sx740 goes for $450-$650, 220 is way too low. red flag.
3) Pictures - all stock photos. None of them taken by the seller is also a reason its almost for sure a scam.

With eBay though, if I see a good deal, I grab it. I know eBay will always have my back.

I randomly sell things on eBay. 99% of the time, I'll use stock photos. (Unless it's a used item, and I want to show the usage)... With a case like this, it's a red flag. Ordinarily, not.

I ordered got canceled the next morning with email that seller is not longer part of Amazon. I actually got Amazon to agree to let me order new one and they say they will refund the difference. Anyone have luck with this?

If you try at least make sure the seller is sold and shipped by Amazon.
