    No doubt he will already be using another account. No control by eBay over multiple accounts = no protection for buyers! Mind you, he would have been pretty silly trying to sell on that account again with that awful feedback.

    Well done to all who reported....maybe eBay got fed up with all the reports and decided to act...finally!

    You may remember this seller dprbirch.....he was ripping people off by selling dummy mobile phones (just check his negatives).

    Now selling Picasso drawings!........why do people buy from guys like this.....surely they can read his feedback.

    The listings are 190043622351 and 190043814812.

    The first one was removed by eBay minutes before the auction ended last week but here it is again. However Im not sure if it contravenes a specific eBay rule....anyone know?

    He does imply that the "artwork" is original, nowhere is it made clear its a copy. What I like is the way he makes a virtue out of his feedback, would you boast about 90?
    At least the cars in his area are more likely to keep their badges.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Wow, I see he's also sold three Damien Hirst prints for 10% of their normal price.
    Can I help?

    The sad thing is that the creep is clever enough to stay just on the right side of the criminal law, and I'll bet by the time he's 25 he'll be living in a £1m house driving a Ferrari and looking forward to spending the rest of his life conning innocent people.

    Interesting that he's used the Bebo site to store the photo of the Damien Hirst prints he's been selling. That must be aginst their Ts&Cs.
    Have reported to Bebo as their site has been used to aid in fraudulent eBay auctions, if you look in the Hirst auctions you'll see the image link is:
