Overall Summary
Scam
  Why we think so? 

This eBay listing by seller leyd8335 offers a Sony Alpha 7R V camera bundled with a Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II lens for just $2.50, which is implausibly low compared to legitimate market prices. The seller has a newly created account with zero feedback, and there is no transaction history or detailed store profile. No evidence of fake reviews or counterfeit claims was found specifically about this seller, but the lack of track record, incomplete profile, and an unrealistically low price make this listing extremely risky. The fulfillment and return policy details appear generic. You should avoid this listing—there are multiple red flags suggesting potential scam or fraudulent activity. ⚠️
