Too GOOD to be TRUE?

Look at this Ebay add. Must be a scam...Right, however, look at the sellers feedback rating.
I'm tempted, what do you think?

Might be legit, or it might be a $15.62 learning experience. Unless, of course, what they are really after is your credit card info. Never dealt with E-Bay so I have no idea how closely they monitor such things.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. B&W filters are very good. My B&W 72mm polarizer cost a LOT more than that! But, it's your money. $15.62 wouldn't be a too expensive lesson.

It might be valid, if the filter is being resold. The 52 mm filter is relatively small in diameter and prices seem to escalate rapidly above this size.
If this is supposed to be brand new, then I would be leary of the offer. Check B & H or Adorama for comparable new filter prices before you go any further.

I agree with LFinger and the Chief, It’s probably a scam, but 15 bucks wouldn’t be an expensive roll of the dice.

Look at the rest of the ad very closely. It is always a red flag when the description (52mm) does not match the image (72mm).

Is saving a few bucks worth the risk of the possible dire consequences?

I looked it up on youtube. The guy does have a great record.
what I think is happening is your getting the box and an off brand filter
or he came across it cheap and is selling it.

Been there, done that. It will be a cheap Chinese counterfeit filter. 😡

eBay customers and sellers generally use PayPal which is very secure.

It is most likely used. If so it should say so in the offer. The seller has 99.4% positive feedback. First thing I would do is see how much that's specific filter iat that size is sold for new. The ad should also indicate the condition. Finally, you can always contact the seller and ask about it.

Other than the possibility of wasting a few dollars, what other dire circumstances are you alluding to?
