Problem with the listing is most people will bid for this item at the last minute, no way of contacting them in time to withdraw, unless you do so after the auction ends.   Hopefully if they state theres no way they would pay £425 for just info to some site, they wont get negative feedback.  You see alot of these listing's on ebay,  but at least some sellers make it clear.   its those people who deliberately leave it at the very end knowing that when people bid there only interested in reading the top half, or put it in tiny writing or worse mix it in with other information that you never notice it.

Current list as it stands.

I have reached the limit i can send contact emails to through ebay.    

Ps if its wrong for me to list there ids please let me know and ill remove it.  Just trying to be helpful.

PPs If you email the ones that need contacting please copy the list in your thread and score it out  or see new ones add them on, it will keep it up-to-date.

If we have all complained I will be amazed if the auction isn't pulled.

I e-mailed Powerseller team saying...

"Hi,

I am a member of a chat forum and many, many people are worried about this auction:

"@@@ BNIB - SONY VAIO VGN-S1HP - 1 DAY AUCTION @@@ @ ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPERTUNITY TO BUY AT THIS MONEY @"

Item number: 6723232414

The seller is offering a link for £425, but he does not make this clear, and potentially 20 people are going to be ripped off, as they think they are buying a real laptop. Please can you remove this auction ASAP before it is too late?!"

Let's cross our fingers. If the worst comes to the worst one of us could put in a bid for all 20 laptops for something silly like £1000 on an account we don't use :-/

angelnas can you give me a copy of the e-mail you have been sending and I will e-mail the others

Here is the email i have been sending

Hi there, as a fellow ebayer I am letting you know that the auction that you have been bidding for is for information/link only, you will not receive the actual item. Please see end of listing which reads “PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU INTEND TO BUY. NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WILL BE LEFT FOR NON PAYING BIDDERS. THE INFO THAT IS FOR SALE WILL GIVE YOU ACCESS TO A SITE WHERE YOU CAN OBTAIN THE LAPTOP. ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN. You can retract your bid via this page http://pages.ebay.co.uk/services/index.html?ssPageName=h:h:serv:UK
