The item I have listed is not nearly that amount of money. They must have gotten an email from Amazon and replaced a few pieces of info. It’s not even something they bought from Amazon Marketplace because Marketplace orders don’t do supersaver shipping.
The reason I even mention the question I got the day before, is that is how this scammer got my email address – from my reply. And although this seems like somewhat of an obvious scam I just want to put it out there to warn anybody of this potential scam.
I am not in any way discouraging anyone from using Amazon Marketplace. Amazon is my favorite place to sell things; I absolutely love it!
