Post by: *Hector* on September 14, 2012, 07:53:21 am: looking at his feeback score 0 I think it is what he does, then opens a new account for selling other stuff....

Having been bitten once... I will not buy off anyone with less than 50 feeback now...

Yep Frans, he bought that himself. Two bidders with zero feedback are him.

I am not doubting you, but how do you know the bidders are him?

Post by: Paul Moss on September 14, 2012, 01:54:04 pm: Philip, both bidders are brand new and if you look at there bidding history you can see its mainly all on his stuff. This happens a lot on eBay but they are clamping down heavily too. A couple of months ago they took somebody to court for it and won, he had to pay a few thousand pounds.

Post by: Mike Halliday on September 14, 2012, 06:06:33 pm: I try not to buy unless I can pick it up, I would bid on this if I lived local, he might be being dishonest with the bidding ........but if its still a good price then why not.

I never understand why if they have a price they want to achieve they don't just put a reserve on the item

Post by: derek west on September 14, 2012, 07:49:03 pm: it costs more to list an item with a reserve.
