Re: ? fake Leupold
You have to be VERY careful on eBay. I sent a message to eBay, I believe about that very scope, about it being a fake when bidding was in the low $600s and they did nothing about it so I guess they don't really care as long as they're getting money and not losing it.
Several months ago, I bid on and won a S&B PM II on eBay at an excellent price. I paid by PayPal promptly and within a very shot time, got a message from the seller with some BS about not being able to take that amount in his PayPal account and requesting a wire transfer to his bank. Going around the PayPal system like that is of course a violation of eBay rules and if I had done so, my money would have been gone forever with no recourse for me.
As it turned out, I never got the scope and I did get all of my money back though it took 2 or 3 weeks to wind through the PayPal refund process.
