Hmm, sadly this is a common SCAM Method in the german Amazon.
There are scam sellers in US Amazon too. I had 2 encounters with them. One seller shipped
used cell phone instead of new one.
Second incident was for 250$ pressure cooker. Seller charged my CC and kept on postponing the shipment date. In the end seller refunded the money. I think he wanted to build history of selling expensive utensils on Amazon.
Some sellers quote less price for main product and sell the manufacturer supplied accessories separately. This happened with Minolta Dimage II. This seller was not on Amazon. But all these sellers were located at Brooklyn NY. So I give some attention to seller's location
