Based on the items previously sold by this seller, this looks like someone using a stolen/hacked eBay account.  If you receive anyting in the mail from them, I seriously doubt it will be an authentic X3. 
 
Unless the "street price" in China is like $85...

Please read the post below regarding the fake listings on eBay. What happens is you'll pay and they send you something different, for example $1 USB lead on purpose which you're entitled to send back for refund as you have received the wrong item (minus the shipping) That's why these listings are $15 + $90 postage etc etc and that's the catch you don't get the shipping fee back and the scammers make their money, It's been going on for a while and I highly advice against falling for the scam.

here's is an example where they use a coin as the item.

That makes sense.  I figured it had to be a scam of some kind, and I have seen a few things listed like this before.

They do now, back when these scam's started it was a real hassle to get the full refund.
And do you really want to go through the trouble of opening a claim for something that was an obvious scam in the first place?
 
Like they all learned in that thread the old adage applies "If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is." Take a pass on it.
