But he as got bidders on his auctions,i actually emailed him earlier asking if i bought vouchers could i pick them up as i live in the area,guess what he hasnt replied,i actually emailed ebay last week about a suspected scammer(i did a thread earlier in week)and they never acted and i was spot on as he has conned at least 20 people,so is it wise to notify ebay or let scammer carry on?

Ebay tend not to act on suspicions, but if you can find a listings policy violation or if the item is banned, you can report that and get the listing removed. Unfortunately, it normally takes a couple of disgruntled buyers to get the seller removed.

I think the only thing you can do is warn the bidders! but if they are stupid enough to bid then thats their fault! .......to warn bidders is against ebay rules ...... I reckon cos he is not kosher he will be shilling! havn't got time to check now! but if u find he is a shiller and report him his account will be removed anyway!! .....looks like wiggleass is getting his own back - check out what he is bidding on!!!

i thought ebay did not allow lots of auctions for the same item,eg 10+auctions running from same seller for same product?

They don't. Report HERE (Report a listings policy violation...->Listings policy violations...->Listed more than 10 identical items).
I didn't look at the other items for sale.

yes you can have ten plus of the same auctions as long as there dutch auctions i have upto 20 plus auctions runiing at the same time for 20 items of the same on each auction spread over different times on different days
and all them voucher sellers are the newest type of scammers so anybody who bids on any is a fool
as it probably afew individuals registering a dozen names on ebay then spoof buying of each others auctions to get some feedback then up go the vouchers for sale to start the scam

Are you sure of that? I can't see anything to exempt dutch auctions from this on the page dealing with dutch auctions or the page explaining ebays multiple listings policy.

I may be missing something but looking at this guys auctions, one for a book of six first class stamps attracted bids of up to £14.00 (item no.5623470416). Why??
