You have to ask why an Australian seller who lists the item location as Victoria, Australia would be shipping an item from China/Hong Kong....

No feedback in the last year. Most likely a stolen account being used by scammers.

Hi, guys. I had trouble finding the 1tb Samsung 960 or 970 ssds on eBay as they were all out of stock. But today I found one seller selling it at the price of a HDD. Should I trust him? Seems too good to be real XD

I wouldn't trust it seeing as the price is too good to be true and the info seems to be copy pasta from Samsung's website. if the price seems too good to be true it probably is.
