    Whats happened to the troll. Has he/she been blocked or is it only a matter of time before they ruin something else?

    He hasn't posted in a few days so with any luck we will have seen the back of him and no one else will have to endure his vitriol. I do think it is a bit unfair for everyone else if someone like this can get threads pulled whenever they like by posting in that manner.
    Good luck Paul and remember that everyone that was following your thread from the beginning could see the truth behind you ordeal.

    Whose numberplate was that on the new listing? I notice it's no longer for sale as well!

    I see the new listing for the caravan has now been removed with the sale price as £1.00 There is definitely something very funny going on here. Do we assume the buyers have got to hear of this thread and are running scared?

    What annoyed me about both sellers' listings was they said the van was theirs and implied they had owned it for years!

    I'm not surprised all this has turned sour. Yes Paul's story is very sad, but he's not the only person in history to run a foul on ebay and to have suffered badly.

    Not to say Paul is definitely a scammer but con-artists have gone through worse for less money.

    That person was so stupid, they were just intent on ruining the thread for everyone. They would not listen to the truth and kept spreading lies. They should be banned!

    Hi All
    We totally understand if any one is having second thoughts and would like there donation back. Please just send me and email to the one you all have and i will return it via PP.
    Don't be daft, as you can see, no one here thinks you are a scammer - the returns are not enough for a start :D. My only regret was not making a note of knuckle-scraper's name so I could put it on the ignore list...

    Keep smiling Paul, you've done nothing wrong.

    I don't think any followers of the original thread are in ANY doubt Paul certainly isn't a scammer.

    Paul, what a hideous time of it you've had but it's over now so hopefully you and your wife can start to put it all behind you now.

    Best wishes,
    pippitypip.
    I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok - they know me here! :D

    well took some looking for but iv found you all..... i read the post that caused the thread to be closed and i agree with soolin that it needed to be done. Im also glad that we were able to help Paul and his family in some way. I would never ask for my small amount of cash back, I followed my heart and gave to someone whom I thought was in need. not something i do often. and I dont think I am easily scammed.

    chin up Paul, big smile and move on. lessons learn alround, never sell a caravan withouth being there, and there are some real !!!!!! out there.... be careful x
