These guys are trying to promote their business or rather inflate their feedback in exchange for a free puzzle. Even though it says $.99, it's Free with Free shipping as per the description.

EDIT: All gone!
It says 99c though?
How do they get your details etc if you don't check out?
When you sell an item, you get sent an email saying:
Congratulations, your item sold.
In the email it contains Buyer's name and Buyer's shipping address.
AND it says .99 but its FREE. As in Buy it Now, leave them positive feedback, they send email back saying they will send it. I don't believe you can list items for .00 value.
They had 24 negative feedbacks in just one month and most of them are high value items !. With this freebie whether delivered or not, they going to get flood of positive to make them looks more genuine !

Darn! I went and "buy it now" and left a positive feedback. Should have read the comments here first… We'll see.
24/749=3%, Not that high by any means but they are definitely buying positive feedback. Still a freebie is a freebie.
this is what they wanted exactly :-) - "Not that high" ..i checked first few pages of positive, all of them are this freebies. Negative feedbacks first item is more then 1000$ - which could buy them many hundred of feedbacks like this.
anyway, not much matters here
Yeah the seller does have quite a bit of bad feedbacks, but he seems to reply to each and every one of them though. You have to admit, sometimes buyers can be quite unreasonable too.
I guess we'll just have give the seller the benefit of the doubt and see if it the puzzle arrives. Afterall, we're not the one forking out any fees. :)
Shipping is made within 24 hours … can people confirm if they receive theirs? :)
I agree with mawinmawin
This is a total scam, so they can have a high feedback while still ripping off customers for hundreds and I am betting it's against the eBay's T&C.
I've reported them, although knowing eBay I doubt they'll do anything to help all the people ripped off by these guys.
I just went into the link and the sale has ended. So I guess they either ran out of items or ebay shut it down.
Lol i received the puzzle today, havent leave any feedback yet n its free, postage show $0.50 x 10 Stamps , well i will leave feedback for them
I received my puzzle today,am pretty happy about it! I didnt leave feedback until I had received it either!:-)
ditto: I didn't leave feedback and got my puzzle today..
Can't argue with that.. they did what they said they'd do. all well within ebay's terms and conditions from my understanding..
This is not to say that I'd ever trust them to buy something large.. ie it could well be a scam to achieve powerseller status and then rip off someone big.
Got mine today.
"My 3D Fairy Tale Puzzle"
Exactly the thing my daughter would love. Thanks!
Just picked up my puzzle from the post office. They've sent me 2 puzzles packed in an envelope and sent via eparcel. On the eparcel label, it wrote "2 x Puzzle"
Not that I'm complaining, but did anyone receive 2 puzzles as well?
I got the Great Wall of China……..to keep the rabbits out.
LOL. Yup, I got that too and Noah's Ark, where the wabbits come from. :)
Look at one of the terms:
Positive feedback MUST be left immediately
They require you to leave feedback before they ship it. So even if they don't send it after all, I guess you wouldn't be bothered to file claims, so they might get thousands of free feedbacks!
