Paypal payement : Scam.

Which leads me to say BTC Payment = Legit?

This is amazing if you think about it.  Leading US Online Vendor Payment processor as the requested payment method = SCAM.  Bitcoin = LEGIT.  Who'd a though this could even be a comment a couple years ago... LOL

The machine is quite an investment, this is true. Avalon is the only success in ASICs market, this is a fact.

Hello is the side now a scam or not ??

Because the Owner of this side or the guy who sell is;
*Pcmilano.it
*He offers the Avalon on Ebay
*his ebay name is 338kingmida
*He is registrated on ebay since 2007
*He is always available on Phone

I am also a little bit scared because i ordered 2 Peaces this week on monday and i  pay with paypal but now he said his account is frozen from paypal..... So he hase to fix that with paypal first and then he make up the ebay listing for the rest of his Avalon again..

Shoud i take buyer protection or should i wait one week...

What do you mean ?

Are you serious? You actually ordered from this site?

Plz do buyer protection and get a refund. This guy can send you a BROKEN COMPUTER, call it an ASIC, and Paypal will side with him...because how will paypal know what an ASIC is? He will tell them "Yes I sent him this ASIC computer", you will send them pictures of this computer, paypal will go "Ok great, you received it, case closed". DO NOT EVER buy anything important or expensive on ebay, unless the seller is a power seller with thousands of feedback, a business address, a business phone number, etc.

I've been a power seller for many years on ebay, I've seen it all.

Quote from avalon notice:

Scam Alert! update
http://www.bitcoinavalon.com
is NOT an official Avalon ASIC site.
We've gotten several emails asking for confirmation and here it is.

It has also been brought to our attention that there is sellers on Silkroad and Atlantis claiming to be "Yifu" or "Xiangfu" selling Avalon ASICs, since we did NOT make these listings, you can be sure they are scams and not just unofficial re-sellers.
