Doh - £20 airtime voucher outsells it's value!!

Those lovely eBay idiots are really doing themselves proud on this one..

A £20 Orange Airtime voucher - how much would you pay?

£16 ??

£18 maybe??

How's about £31 (or more - still 2hrs left as I post this!)

Some bids can be explained away by a neg buyer, but the current high bidder has no excuse..... DOH

    I sold my virgin voucher to the negative bidder on this item(mobileconnect4u), it is so annoying when people bid on items just for the fun of it.

    This is the first time I have had a NPB

    He brought all 4 my vouchers which made me suspicious, so i checked the items he had been bidding on and it made me chuckle :-) but also annoyed.

    He had bought a £6,000 car, loads of phone top up vouchers most of them for above the actual value,laptops,mobile phones etc. He must have totted up at least £9,000 in a few days.

    I have tried to contact him on many occasions and nothing... At the time he bought my items he had 0 feedback. A few days ago he had -3 ???

    Ebay will not let me file a NPB untill the 29th march, What can i do to get my money back? Will I get it all back as well as my listing fees?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated :))

    Thanks :)

  • Hiya, you will get your listing fees and final value fee back, so you can relist it, looks like the others have been stung too and shouldnt be a memer for much longer

    I understand what no longer a registered user means but does it mean that ebay have banned him or he has withdrawn it himself?

    Sorry but i'm confused? Does this mean i should get a refund of fees sooner?

    Thanks :)

    You'll get your FVF, but i don't think eBay will credit the listing fee :-(
