The URL has "Amazon" in the name, and the page has "Ebay" in the name. I don't trust anything that tries to ride on the back of an established name or business. I'd say scam.

Stay away from WalMartRC.com too if and when it pops up.

I would keep away! Vattera rc cars for $179. Thats $100. Less than almost anywhere. Too good to be true. And as stated before by C*H*U*D the url is amazonrchobby.com the page name is ebayrchobby.com? Those are sort of competition for each other. These are both together tradmark infringement at the least for this website.
Then there is the link Harley posted.
Also I saw where they are selling A Main Hobbies Hoodies. A known web store that I dont see why a legit "competitor" would be selling advertisement for them.

That was my sentiment as well. Looks too good to be true.
I emailed them and asked for international shipping. A Linda Wong replied and said they will send me shipping costs after I made payment - not suspicious at all.

Was just wondering of anyone has dealt with them. I also see they have a Paypal logo, aint there a way or place on Paypal's site that will confirm that they actually have an account with them?

I just posted a reply on the site Scamadviser.


Thanks for the help guys!

I stay away from websites that do not have any contact information like registered address, email and phone in the contact page. Its a straight away signal that the owner will not take any responsibility and that the customer is all by himself at his mercy.
