Ebay seller...looks dodgy but are they?

Post by wibblywobbly »

I just looked at newly listed items and saw HL full metal tanks for £130+ (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170297788486. Ok, I thought, where are they? Hmmm...China. What is their feedback....5?? I went and took a look. The 5 feedbacks are ok, but the items they relate to look completely fictitious.

This same Ebayer (bcrkn075) has just listed a stack of RC novelty toys as well.

The question is, are they genuine or not. They have had an Ebay account for one month, have 5 very dubious feedbacks, and suddenly have stacks of goods for sale. Personally I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole, but is there any way of verifying their account via Ebay?

don't know about that guy, also if you notice the shipping is free and all of the prices are bids that start too high for my liking and non are buy it now. I would be wary of buying from them

theres a saying that says, "if it looks to good to be true, it usually is", i would not touch him with a barge pole, way to dodgy in my opinion

Hi Guys who wants to pay that much for a pantiger when the new jagdpanther is here and I would think they will make a new top for it and you will have a very nice Panther .

His feedback was posted over a period of 16 seconds on the same day! I can smell something Carruthers!  ::)
HL Tiger x2 (one that didn't bounce very well!), HL Pz III x2 (one non-smoker); HL Stug III; HL PzIV and want an HL Jagdpanther.

if everybody reported him to e-bay all at the same time they would take note and remove him

yes what hes done is dodgy as hes listed stuff on bins and got his mates or another e-bay id to buy and leave feedback

wouldnt touch him with a streetlight :D :D :D :D
