He "relisted" the B&W speaker he had from before probably to save time, which left the B&W brand on it.

Anyway, the nice thing about ebay (for BUYERS) is that if you pay via paypal it is almost impossible to get truly scammed.  You will get your money back.

I think this is just someone who is new to ebay and refused sale when previous price didn't reach expected...
