Second Chance Offer

Post by Gongadin »

Anybody been contacted by animal popescu about purchasing a tuba on a "Second Chance Offer"??
His eBay I.D. doesn't match the original Seller's I.D., and I'm fifth runner-up bidder, not second.....hmmm......sounds legit to me!! :lol:

Ever since I bid on a civil war era tuba on eBay and lost out to a much higher bidder, I have been getting 2 to 3 second chance offers for that horn from different people every day. Not one of them is the same person that actually offered the tuba for sale. They are all just a hoax, ignore them.... :evil:

Read the eBay guidelines.

"Second chance" offers, when originating with the original seller through eBay (that means you get the email from eBay) are probably legit. Mostly, you find these where a seller is offering a big lot of stuff and all of it didn't sell. You rarely will encounter one when there's only a single uncommon item for sale. If the email didn't originate with eBay, it's bogus.

and, the easiest way to confirm that the email actually came from ebay is to log into your ebay account and look in the "My Ebay" section. Any legit ebay message will show up in your ebay mailbox.

99.9% chance this is a hoax. Ignore it, or you'll be sorry.

Bloke, what if his Mother isn't dead yet? Does that null and void your offer acceptance??
