Came across this this morning:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CANON-EOS-5D-DIG ... dZViewItem5D upto $400 with 30mins to go... does this seem dodgy? or just because its a 2day listing and not many people have seen it; not sure what to do!
Are there any obvious things that make you go "it's dodgy"; it says its from hong kong so itll be grey market?

Probably legit but I would only buy if there was PayPal protection

Its so tempting; but seems so risky. If i get it and it turns out to be dodgy will ebay chase the money for me? or is that only if i have buyers protection?

I am often suspicious of listings that only have stock photos as opposed to photos of the actual item for sale. But that's just me.

Well i decided to give it a miss, will watch his feedback though to see how the people that won went; Would have been nice, but not worth the risk. back to my search for a 30D!

A seller located in Australia but the item is located in Hong Kong? I wonder...

This is quite normal these days. Many ebayers have Australian banking accounts but the goods are delivered from HK.

Reiterating reply above, this is pretty common these days. I bought a phone from a seller with a setup like that
