    I remember the thread; in fact I was only looking for it tonight, it must have been removed.

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    Ditto - I looked and could not find it either (considering I posted in it, it should have been easy to find), it would seem it got deleted.

    I cannot believe he actually thinks he's in the right! Looks like he's withdrawn the money from his paypal account too! Probably thinks if the monies not there it can't be taken back.....

    It now appears they were not even his photos and he's lifted them off another website!

    Isn't it a wind up thread? I had a look the other day and I think the seller is having everyone on!

    Not unless part of the wind up was pretending to be the buyer on here a week or so ago asking for advice cos he'd been scammed!

    Given that they/we can see his listings over there, it's rather an elaborate way to create a wind-up.

    Someone on the community boards has suggested that, by why go to those lengths and lose your eBay account and end up with all sorts of problems.

    The sale actually happened , that part is not a wind up
