Report for Den624448

Report Date December 1, 2025
Recommendation
Avoid
Overall Summary
Suspicious
Why we think so

Short verdict: suspicious listing. The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X is listed at $406.99 — well under known retail/MSRP (~$999), while the seller account (den624448) shows zero feedback and no store history. The item page has product images that appear across other listings and a nearly empty description. Some safeguards exist (PayPal/credit card payment options, 30‑day returns), but the combination of a large price gap, no seller reputation, and reused images makes this high‑risk. Recommendation: avoid buying until you can verify the seller (ask for tracked shipping, proof of purchase, or buy from an authorized retailer). 🛡️

Risk Insights

⚠️

Price gap is the biggest single risk

Listed at $406.99 vs known retail ~$999 for ROG Ally X models.
Large undercuts on high‑value electronics often indicate counterfeit, stolen, or non‑existent stock.
Verify with serial number and seller proof before paying.
🔍

Seller has no track record

Feedback score reported as 0; no store data in the extracted profile.
New or empty accounts are commonly used in short‑lived scam operations.
Ask for verifiable photos and tracked shipping if you still consider the item.

Contradictory Signals

Images could be legitimate manufacturer assets, but without seller history or a good description the images alone don't confirm authenticity.

Signal A: Listing images match known product photos

Signal B: Seller has zero feedback and sparse description

Red Flags & Warnings

  • Extremely low price compared with established retail pricing for the ROG Xbox Ally X.
  • Seller 'den624448' has feedback score 0 and no visible seller storefront or feedback history.
  • Sparse/empty item description and no explicit provenance (no invoice, no serial number shown).
  • Product images are widely used across other listings (reverse-image matches), which can indicate image scraping from legitimate sellers or manufacturer materials.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Price anomaly vs market MSRP

Score: 10/100
Failed

"The listing price ($406.99) is roughly 55–60% below the typical retail/MSRP for the ROG Ally X (~$999). That gap is a strong signal for potential counterfeit, bait‑and‑switch, or non‑authorized resale. Cross-check with ASUS and major retailers before trusting the price."

Reason: Listing price is implausibly low relative to documented retail pricing for this model.

Seller feedback and account history

Score: 50/100
Failed

"A feedback score of 0 gives no social proof; combined with missing storefront data this suggests a newly created or inactive account. Sellers without feedback are high risk for unfamiliar buyers."

Reason: Seller shows zero feedback and no visible sales history.

Listing content completeness

Score: 20/100
Failed

"The detailed description field is empty in the extracted page data. Legitimate high‑value listings typically include serial numbers, original invoice references, or more seller notes."

Reason: Item description is empty or minimal, lacking provenance and serial number.

Image provenance / reverse image

Score: 30/100
Failed

"Google Lens found the same or very similar images across other eBay listings and third‑party pages. Reused manufacturer images are common — but when combined with other red flags (price, seller history) it weakens authenticity claims."

Reason: Images used in the listing match images found on other listings and pages.

Shipping, returns & payment safety features

Score: 60/100
Passed

"The seller accepts PayPal and major cards and lists a 30‑day return policy (buyer pays return shipping). These features provide dispute mechanisms, though they do not guarantee legitimacy — especially if the seller disappears after payment."

Reason: Listing includes standard eBay payment methods and a 30‑day return window.

External reputation and complaints

Score: 40/100
Failed

"Perplexity didn't find reports on den624448 specifically, but surfaced articles and user posts about feedback removal and counterfeit items on eBay. That context raises the baseline risk when other red flags are present."

Reason: No specific complaints found for this seller, but general eBay credibility issues were noted in web search results.

Your Next Steps

  • 1
    Do not purchase this listing until the seller provides verifiable proof: recent photo of the device with a handwritten note including today’s date and the seller username.
  • 2
    Ask the seller for tracked shipping (not economy) and a serial number (S/N); verify the S/N with ASUS support before paying.
  • 3
    Check the seller profile page and past items directly from the seller URL; avoid sellers with feedback score 0 or hidden feedback.
  • 4
    Compare final price (including shipping and taxes) against major retailers (ASUS, Best Buy, Amazon) — if the gap remains >40%, treat as high risk.
  • 5
    If you already paid and suspect fraud, open an eBay Money Back Guarantee case and preserve all messages and screenshots.
