I had a transaction with him for £56.46 where i won under one of his shill bidding accounts kakindafleet the other shill bidding account he had was moonmonkey_2001 he now leaves his bidding private even though i have reported it!
I first realised what was going on when i won 57 figures from kakinda fleet and his paypal address is the same as his when i won something from toyboxbargains! That's how i knew it was the same guy with both accounts and when i went onto goofbay i typed his user id in and all his stuff he had sold was being offered as second chances i reported it to ebay and they suspended him for 30 days but here he is again being allowed to list and shill bid like he did before but now he is hiding ids so he thinks it can't be reported. The other accounts are now defunct but i am sure he has more if he has done it once he obviously is going to do it again and this time we can't check the id's good old ebay eh sorry about the rant but thought you should all know.
AS you can see his email for the shilling account/scammer account was the same as one of his old id's!

YOU GO GIRL (sorry...or boy?)!!!!!
Have you reported it to ebay? not that they are worth anything more than a p*ss up in a great big football pitch sized p*ss up ...
but just wondered if you'd reported it??? xx0 -
Yep i reported it and keep reporting him but nothing ever happens now he has hidden bidder id's, I have even told them to check the IP address of the bidders,
This

auction is aimed at newby's he is claiming it to be a last 17 1985 ev-9d9 worth around £30.00 -£45.00 for a vintage one at the moment,
His is a 1995 ev-9d9 potf2 worth around £1.00 at the most as it is missing the control panel but with some shill bidding and a new collector it is already up to £9.70:eek:
I have no idea how to shorten links and make them into small words oops!
P.S. i am male (man/kid at heart)
An original LAST 17 as he is claiming

Sorry MR!!!
I meant to say YOU GO BOY!!! So Sorry!! I thought only a girl with PMT would have the balls to go off on one like that (like I do somtimes!) 
If you see what I mean? My god...I am digging myself in deeper now...sorry!!! :rolleyes:
Anyway...I have just reported two of his most popular listings to ebay...and will try and look more tomorrow...I was going to bed over two hours ago but I just love this site and am hooked!
How can ebay stop bidders names coming up on the general listings but still allow private listings like this????????0 -
I think they are allowing it if he pays the fees on the shill bids:eek: , until he starts doing mutuals and not paying the final value fees then they may naru him.:rolleyes:Sorry MR!!! I meant to say YOU GO BOY!!! So Sorry!! I thought only a girl with PMT would have the balls to go off on one like that
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
I am an ex-squaddie and don't like to get ripped off :mad: and you have to rant sometimes:D

I have asked him a question on my girlfriends ebay i.d. about the modern ev-9d9 which he has replied to but has not put the question on the listing so as not to alert other bidders and he seems a bit touchy about it:rotfl:
My QUESTION
Dear user21539,
Hi
I was wondering if i bid is it actually the last 17 1985 version i will win or the one in the photo which is the modern 1995 version?
Cheers
HIS ANSWER
Item:Star Wars Original EV-9D9, Last 17 100% Complete (260284601425)
Subject:Re: Question for item #260284601425 - Star Wars Original EV-9D9, Last 17 100% Complete Q: as it states 1985 version, or do u already know and your just being difficult?
It is a pity whoever wins this is going to be very disappointed when they realise it is the modern version and they can get one mint on card for between £1.00-£3.000 -
If anyone is interested i have found one of his shill bidding ID's it is chocnvodka_74 ( 2 ) The two feedback he has received on this account are for the sylvanian dolls he has been selling and they have only bid on items from user21539 in the last 30 days and everything they have won has been relisted or sold as second chance buy it nows!
chocnvodka_74 bids for the last 30 days see link
http://www.goofbay.com/ebay_bid_history_tool.html?gbl_username=chocnvodka_74+&gbl_days=30&gbl_show_sellers=on&gbl_submit=&gbl_submit.x=26&gbl_submit.y=9
Then the relisted second chance buy it nows you can see here
http://www.goofbay.com/ebay_seller_history_tool.html?gsl_username=user21539&gsl_days=30&gsl_include=sold&gsl_submit=&gsl_submit.x=36&gsl_submit.y=2

some ebayers are going to get badly stung by this guy if it carries on he did try listing a uss flagg still sealed or taped as he put it as well but he has pulled that one for now

Let's help other's by reporting his listings as you never know the next time he changes his I.D. it could always be you.
This is one of the reply's from a star wars collectors forum they think it won't be long before the account is NARUD and he disappears with all the proceeds of his ill gotten gains!yeah i also forgot, i think theres a thread about this guy some where about shill bidding.
my guess is its a build and burn account, the buyer will go for a refund only to find theres no funds available
pity the actual winner cant be notified
tel
I'm going to try and inform ebay
