It's not my problem. I just assumed, its not like i KNEW for sure, and it was mostly an after thought hoping it wasn't an actual scam. Damn my lawyers are good
What a sucker.

See that's how scams work. It takes larceny in the heart to make a mark.
And your the Mark, thinking you got in on a hot deal from the equivalent of the white van selling hot speakers in the parking lot.
Please be honest when posting here. You did not buy for $58, but instead for $98. The fact that you had some other means of payment DOES NOT CHANGE THE PRICE YOU PAID.
Sort of like saying, I bought a Ipad Air for under $100 because I had a $400 Apple Gift Card from my Mom.
Geez.
He hasn't actually bought anything anyway, until it shows up, which it probably won't, so he's merely paid for it, not bought it.
I paid $58, so i bought it for $58, it was a discount from the retailer, not a gift card.
what about this
NEW Apple iPad Air Wifi 64GB 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty SILVER
AU $7,090.00
Item location:
Hong Kong, Hong Kong

i guess it's the 'They told you so'. good luck and hopefully you get your money back.
It boggles my mind why the scammer listed it for 90 bucks. It only makes him look way more bogus and he gets way less money out of the scam. The only reason why I could think of is that his total net amount would keep the crime as a misdemeanor, so he could avoid a felony charge if he ends up getting caught.
Don't worry you will get you money back. PayPal will always side with the buyer only in rare instances will the seller win a dispute. I've sold a lot of stuff on eBay and you never ever want to buy or sell to folks with negative feedback.
And like most have said if it is too good to be true it isn't... When you are buying a popular item on eBay check all the listings to find the average selling price and expect to pay the same. Look for a posting with good clear pictures of used items and an accurate description of the condition. And always use PayPal never send payment directly to a seller or you have no way to dispute.
he got negative feedback AFTER I bought it from him, to me it just looked like a new seller. But yeah there were a lot of red flags I was just hoping that 1 percent chance it was real, oh well. The case will escalate to Ebay on the 14th. I am just wondering, do I get my $40 coupon back too?
What $40 coupon? You made it clear that you didn't pay $98, you paid $58, when that guy said please be clear about how much the item realistically cost regardless of gift cards or ebay special thank you offers or whatever.
