Is it a scam?

TBH, I was going to explain why it was a scam.

Instead here is a picture

As I said before, I thought that paypal would refund all the money if it was a scam and I thought i'd have nothing to lose. I was checking that

True that you likely don;t lose anything in the end, but why expose yourself to such a blatant scam when you can simply avoid it ? Thats the bit I don't understand. The simple rules of the internet dictate that if its too good to believe it is highly likely to be a scam so surely its simpler to avoid it ?

Why bother to take the risk when you can buy an iPad with WiFi + 3G + 64GB for £399 at a well-known food house and you know that if it goes wrong you can take it back for repair.

£449 for that model when I search the site, yet £399 following the link. Hmmm.
 
What I expect will happen:

- You pay.
- Person empties Paypal, in the mean time fobs you off with excuses that it's lost/on way/etc.
- Eventually you file Paypal claim.
- If you're lucky, Paypal might give you your money back, but I expect they'll instead try to recover from the seller, find he's gone AWOL, refuse to be out of pocket, keep the cash, and find in his favour.

You can give it a go if you like, but having dealt with the scum at Paypal in the past, I don't fancy your chances.

Yeah, I've realised how naive I was being and I'm buying one off the MM for £250 :)
