    He could have blocked him if he was a timewaster. What a !!!!!! I just hate people like that, spoils everything for the genuine buyers.


    Would eBay do anything in this particular situation? There is'nt much proof other than the bidder bidding in the 1st and 2nd auciton!?!?

    I've sent the seller a message, I wonder if he will actually reply.
