Is it safe to sell for somebody else?

[Seagull]

Hello guys!

Has anybody sold products on ebay for somebody else?
I have an offer to sell hot selling stuff on ebay using my account and get commission. It's very luring for me, but I am scared that there are might be some pitfalls and my account can be suspended. Or it might be just scam....

It sounds very simple and doable. This is the letter I got:

"you List item for us.Item is hot selling .You will list 1 item and i will cover your listing fees + paypal fees.Per one item you sold successfully, we will pay you 15$ clear commission+ebay+paypal fees

Payment through the pay-pal so it will safe and secure for both of us
You send me the payment as Goods then if anything happen you can ask from a refund from me

After i received the clear payment item will ship withing 48hours and send you the tracking number. shipping time will be 5-10 days

And 1st time we ship the item to USA,CANADA and UK with free shipping

I think i explain it clearly

If you have any questions feel free to contact me

If you agree we can start from today


Thank you

Warning! Conducting payments offsite (e.g. via PayPal) is risky, against our Terms and Conditions and may r esult in account suspension."

What about paypal? If they see something suspicious, like I am sending money to 1111@gmail.com (example) and then some money send to me back from this email. It would be suspicious to me

Sounds like a scam. Don't do it.

100% of the time, if it is too good to be true......it is

THESE ARE ALL THE SAME! Learn the lesson the hard way if you want. Don't take our advice.

Notice silly terms like "hot selling" and "fast selling" products repeatedly. It's items that will have your account suspended in less than a week, if not mere days.

Mods, close this thread already. OP is dedicated to losing whatever accounts they have.

Thank you, unkown5454!

Yes, the tread can be closed or it might be better kept so that newbies like me can see it.

Seagull, it's good you came here to ask, I'm reminded of those flyers I always see out and about on working from home...all crap.

Can you private message the exact listing you found this on?

SCAM CITY HERE WE COME is the other name for this.



NEVER EVER CONSIDER THIS DANGEROUS ACTION if you value your account
