Hi! I purchased an item called
“ WW2 1944 SU-100 Destroyer
Soviet Tank Collectable
Building Blocks Army Green “ on EBAY by the seller “bricking_882”
On the 23rd of July, 2025.
My problem is, I when i looked back at the listing, I recognised the photos were screenshots, from a YouTube video, reviewing the set (i was watching to see what I’d be getting.)
Then i looked back at the account selling and saw it only had 5 reviews, all of which being from re-listed items.
So i paired the odd reviews, with the screenshots listing, and I believe I’ve been scammed. I’m very nervous about it and promptly requested to cancel the order a few minutes after ordering, this was in the early morning. I then asked the seller if we could cancel, and there was no response, I texted a few times hoping to get their attention but I’m being ignored and so is my request.
I haven’t received a response
I haven’t received a response for my cancel request
I haven’t been able to get eBay to step in and try get some help.
The fact that the listing is just photos from a YouTube video made a few months ago, (same story for the other models they’re selling.) is worrying, and I don’t know what to do. I would like to cancel the order, get a refund and buy a different model from a trusted seller, but the seller I’ve bought from won’t interact with anything despite it now being the 25th, it hasn’t even shipped out, absolutely zero interaction towards the buyer (me) or the cancel order request, or the actual order itself.
I don’t know what to do, I’m really really hoping posting this on eBay itself might help push something in the right place. I feel very stupid incase this was a scam and I don’t want to loose that much money.
The YouTube video is called: Detailed Build & Facts About the
SU-100 You Never Knew! Panlos
632022 (Speed Build Review) by Brickmeet, if you choose to view it and compare listing photos to the YouTube video you’ll see it’s how exact same thing. Not a real listing of a product they claim to have.
I would like it if anyone who’s dealt with this before could respond or anyone from EBAY themselves that might be able to help.
