Can this possibly be real?

[LeDelmo]

So, I was on Ebay and found this...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/392179908617
A Samsung 860 Evo 500Gb for sale for $29.90.

It's listed as new in box.

With out thinking I ordered it though my PayPal...

Let me know what you think. Should I be cautious?

Looking over the reviews I am officially worried now... Should I cancel my order?

I would wait and see, be well worth it if it is what it says.

 

[LeDelmo]

Would there be any risk in waiting? I mean if it is a scam. What are they after? They wouldn't do these things if they didn't get something out of it.

Looks like the listing was pulled from Ebay and I have this message, "We had to remove this listing from the site and you're not required to complete the transaction. If you've already sent payment, the sale should process as normal and you don't have anything to worry about. If you have any questions about delivery, please check tracking or contact your seller. If you run into any trouble along the way eBay is here to help. Please visit the Resolution Center to help resolve any problems you may encounter."

It's showing as paid "Completed" on my PayPal but it doesn't have a expected delivery date. And, My PayPal doesn't show the money being credited back into my account ether.

Edit:
Oh yeah, I cant even contact the seller to cancel or refund the order because the items no longer exists.

Saw similar offers that got removed after a short time, GTX1070ti at 30€ (new in box), 1080 for 60€, PS4 pro at 110€.

All on Friday during black friday.

I'd advise to just skip on offers being too good to be true.

Contact Paypal if you don't see the refund within a few days. Just because it isn't instant doesn't mean it's not happening and that it is time to panic.

Well. this is getting interesting. I contacted them last night stating that if its not 100% authentic to not even bother shipping anything out and just cancel the order.

Than I got a notification that something had shipped this morning. AND that the user I bought it from is no longer a Ebay user...
Jeez, if that doesn't scream scam I don't know what does.

 

[LeDelmo]

Well, it was a scam. The user was removed for some very serious apparently. And Ebay offered me a full refund.

No idea what he shipped me. But I wont be looking forward to that package... Don't even like the idea that guy has my shipping address...

My anxiety levels are through the roof.
