Great Ebay Deal on Evo. Only $499.99 for JUST THE Shipping. The phone is additional

I was browsing ebay and ran across

THIS listing. At this time, the bidding is over $300, but the shipping is $499.99 and its USPS at that. Really?

I can't believe people are bidding on it. I am not normally one to report things, but I sent ebay a message on this. On top of the over the top shipping (which is an ebay violation of terms), this seller has a feedback score of zero.

Wow so even at that bid you'd end up paying about $800... Either it is a very dumb scammer or a troll.

He has it back up. He actually has two listings for it... One with normal shipping and one with Ridiculous shipping. I wonder if he is trying to double sell one phone. He does actually have one though. He sent me a picture with my username and today's date in it along with the phone. Still fishey
