    :eek:
    I stopped using the phone last week as the mouth piece stopped working.I was told in the shop that it could be repaired for free as long as it was in the box.The reason i haven't got it repaired myself is that i need a phone and cant wait the 2 weeks for the repair.

    you wouldnt catch me paying that much for a working phone let alone one that is in need of repair
    infact you wouldnt catch me spending that much on ebay full stop let alone with a seller that has only previously sold 3 items before! All of which have been low value mobile phones :eek:

    Goto Advanced Search (top right of page)
    Click on Items by Bidder (on left menu)
    Enter Bidder's User ID
    Tick Include completed listings (last 30 days)
    Then Search
    This will show there bidding history. Its not shill bidding as no one is going to pay that amout for a second hand phone, more like a case of a hijacked accounts used to ruin people's auctions. Check the second highest bidder also.
