What do you think?

Wait til you get it back. I don't particularly like his tone or his need to mention his illness and threaten a negative, but I think he sounds genuine.

I agree, I'll wait until I get it back. I just wonder if he was trying to get me to refund it and then say don't bother to send it as it is broken. Therefore he gets a free camera!

Am I just being paranoid?

Not paranoid, sensible No-one with a brain gives a refund before getting the item back... unless it's virtually worthless.

I have just checked his recent bidding history and he has purchased a few similar cameras - not bad considering he can't afford a new one. I think he's dodgy and would tread very carefully - definitely don't refund until you get the camera back

it was my 3 e-mail I'd sent you.

It wasn't - you've seen both the messages he's sent

I think it was his tone from the start that got my back up

Thanks

Thanks for that - do you think its worth contacting a few of the others to see if they are having the same problems?

By the way, how did you get that list?

Thanks

Send him a polite note:

Hi,

I will be glad to refund you once I have received the item back and I have been able to check my security markings. I apologise for my hesitance but I have been ripped off before and these days I take precautions in case of a dishonest buyer switching my item.

Sorry again and I look forward to receiving the camera back.

Love, Seller.

Click on advanced search at the top of the screen and then choose search by bidder
I checked out a few of his purchases and the only one that i think could be iffy is for a faulty sony ericcson phone - he left the following feedback - GREAT SERVICE,VERY KID AND UNDERSTANDING,VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

On another note though, he states that he is bedridden on his about me page

Hope this helps

If you look at his About Me page, he also seems to be soliciting for off-eBay sales:

If your interested in buying Bossons or Legend pieces please get in contact as I've always got loads of them for sale, which are all nice pieces. I only sell to keep my mind busy and fund my own collecting

I don't think Me pages count as rule breaking unless they're obscene, illegal or blatantly offensive... I could be wrong though.

Thanks everyone for all your quick reponses - I really don't know what to think, so I'm going to wait for his answer

I've sent him a messge asking for it back and that I'll refund when I get it, so I'm just going to have to wait and see

I'm very supprised at the speed of your answers, I didn't know there were so many MoneySAavers out there!!!!!

Cheers :beer:
