I was bargain hunting for a Xiaomi Mi Band 2 and stumbled upon this eBay seller,

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Original-Xiaomi-Mi-Band-2-Smart-…

They seem to be located in China and have sold over a hundred in the last few days. I was skeptical at first but figured I would just lodge a PayPal dispute if it was scam.

Their store only has the one item and the seller doesn't look like they have sold any items in the last 6 months even with their high positive feedback.

Wanted to see if anyone else could pick up any red flags with this deal other than the details I listed above.

Mod warning: User comment indicates that there are issues with this seller. Buyer beware.

  There's been a few on eBay recently for $10 AUD or less, think I ordered at $9.55. There's probably multiple sellers at that price point, shouldn't be too hard to find one from a reputable seller.

  I looked at this as well, but if you look at his seller feedback history, there is nothing within a month, so something is fishy.

  Being about 1/3 of the price on Aliezpress (or Banggod/Gearbest) there's something dodgey. Apart from a hacked a/c it couldd be a fake.

  There are actual fake Xiaomi Mi Band 2's out there. I'd go with everyone else's advice. Avoid as it could be a hacked account and/or fake Mi Band.

  I wouldn't recommend getting one of these cheap ones through ebay. Last week I ordered a cheap Mi Band 2 on ebay for $19.99. It turned up yesterday - it is most definitely not a Mi Band 2. The instructions say it's called an M2, and it uses an app called Droihealth to connect (Mi Bands use Mi Fit). I've requested a refund from the seller through ebay, hopefully they won't mess me around. The seller has already asked for photographic proof that it's the wrong item.

  Ordered one in Feb, never arrived but strange enough, tracking info indicated it got to australia and was "being handed to local postal service". Lodged a dispute in resolution centre for $10 lol, it's more the principle of it. If they're taking $10 from 100 people who couldn't be bothered chasing it up, that's $1000! Not getting my bloody $10!
