    We all have to start somewhere, but it seemed he had an awful lot of tickets for her concerts, and if genuine, and hoping to make a few quid, he must be sorely disappointed, as not many bids, and some were "selling" for below face value.

    They are selling so cheaply because experienced buyers wouldn't trust a 4 feedback seller who already has a neg.

    I have found your seller BTW, he hasn't a clue on postage which also worries me
    £3.99 for special delivery..he will have a shock!

    Hasn't used the account since December 2008 when he got into a dispute about a lost DVD player.

    Is selling huge amounts of tickets..so either a tout not correctly registered or a scammer and either way I would avoid.

    I have avoided him, although there are others who have bought from, i think it was £65 for two tickets, below face value.

    Unless im looking at it wrong, all his listings have been pulled, close shave for a few people.

    I certainly reported him as the auctions looked as dodgy as a 9 shilling note but I can't have been the only one as I'm not even a power seller and they never take any notice of me!

    Unless I've suddenly got the power...oer.
