    I'll give you 10 to 1 that people will still bid. If I was going to scam I would at least make sure I didn't leave all the feedback on the same day from 0feedback users. :rotfl:

    Exactly like this seller who I pointed out a few days ago selling laptops

    http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=dsf5t45yg&iid=130014847877&frm=284&ssPageName=VIP:feedback:1:uk

    All his ficticious feedback has been created from non entity items like the one highlighted in this thread. Why oh why do Ebay allow this to go on. Surely it couldn't be because they get the listing fees anyway?

    Agree with Soo. Someone is bound to bid and what's the betting they turn up on here next week asking how to get their money back.

    My hubby thinks scammers should be lined up and shot along with the idiots who bid and buy from them and then complain afterwards without having read the auction description properly. I must say, reading some threads on here lately I agree with him.

    particularly since the wording is fairly distinctive...
    Payment was champion. A remarkably top-notch buyer. Correspondence was majestic.
    If they're going to have 2 aliases leave identical feedback, they might want to consider making it a little more nondescript (A+++ springs to mind).:rotfl:
