In the advert....
"The manufacturer of this article is GoPro which has its head office in the USA. We want to make it clear that we do not offer the
manufacturer’s guarantee."
I think suggests they are fakes if they exisit. If it wasn't obvious enough at £20! Have also taken a punt...

I think these will attract import duty/vat, and a charge from the post office to collect said vat etc.,
so you may have to pay an additional £8 or so, on delivery.

Interestingly Ebay are now blocking transactions !
I hope those that took a punt get their camera.
But Seems more like a scam every minute.
Beaten to it

Rather interesting this morning - the guy has no other items for sale, yet he had a ton of stuff yesterday and his eBay shop is shut.
Didn't stop me and all my m8's taking a punt yesterday though.

Yes I have the same message. Ebay cancelled the item, the only reason for this is suspision they are fake. Suspision, not proof, which is why they
say do not claim for 7 days.
I'm still hopefull my fake one will turn up, then I might also get my £21 back

Got it here now Mac, the 5 wires are, red wire 12v+
black wire earth
blue wire engine revs (ecu signal)
green wire speedo sender
white wire throttle position sensor
So simple I think I might even be able to wire it up myself
