Could this be Scott Davies setting up again? or some other scam?

website: btcminers.co.uk
Ebay as: keitdavie-0

Both of those are very new, prices seem too good. The website wants payment only in bitcoins no paypal. I smell a rat...  I have asked him if he will do escrow or paypal and shall post any reply.

looks like they have now ceased on that ebay account and setup a new one: holme1829 They did not respond to my query so I'm 99% sure this is a scam.

Made an order at btcminers.co.uk for 3x Antminer U3 63GHs – B2's for my first bitcoin mining project,  Then later realised the price was far too low,   Since I have waited by the Order Status has not changed on website despite paying with BTC from my coinbase wallet.
