    Yes Lesley, I think thats right. Well thats what I worked out anyway. Think he's hoping people will think they're getting a bargain Tv judging by the amount of photos but lack of description!

    Gosh, eBay don't make it easy to report this sort of thing.

    Its still up, so I've reported also - took ages to find the form though (had to search under postage abuse)

    Try reading his shop listings.

    Notice how he's used EB00K instead of EBOOK for the text to avoid auto detection.
    They promised the earth...and delivered mud. Technically though it did meet the spec.
  • lol look at his feedback now, loads of people have fell for it in the last hour and left him negs already.. some are funny

    Seems he's made his feedback private now!

    Part of the Furniture
    been following this from another forum - 60 or so sales before it was all pulled so he will be the best part of £3500 better off for a couple hours scamming - i am surprised ebay took so long to pull it. :eek:

    One of the buyers said in feedback that Paypal had confirmed his account was frozen and all money would be refunded.

    Hasn't he just stopped his own auctions? They are showing as "ended early, as the item is no longer available". If ebay pull them, they show an invalid number, don't they?
