This joker is bidding on something of mine at the minute - glad I looked at his FB! He has 100%, of course, since people keep leaving him false positives.

    All those false negs would mean he would get past my blocks as well.

    Although there is something strangely familiar about that user name......

    Good grief! I note one unpaid seller makes the comment that this buyer uses more than one account and looking at the seller's 'feedback left for others', you can identify it.

    You might want to block the other account to prevent them bidding on your item, using their other eBay ID. ;)

    Good idea! ;) The other ID for those who may want to also block is:

    It reads pretty much the same as the first one.

    I count an incredible 44 false positives out of 61 in 8/9 months!

    I really don't understand what benefit anyone would obtain from routinely bidding, winning and walking away. :(

    Well, it's because it makes them so big and so clever, isn't it?!

    If everyone of those sellers had issued a NPB case, that account would now be history.

    I had a similar experience with this buyer:

    http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=ns313322012&_trksid=p3984.m1562.l2776

    After opening and closing my NPB case, I noticed they still had their account and people were still leaving false positives so I contacted ebay through live chat today about it and now they're showing as 'not a registered user'. This person has multiple IDs as well though, judging by the feedback. So you may want to go through it and add them to your blocked list.

    they seem to bid on games, I wonder if they sell them too and bid to get rid of the competition??
    Or maybe just some saddo
