    amusing but the seller is the one who is risking their account, and I cannot see what they are trying to achieve.

    using the wrod powerseller (see seller name) is against ebay rules as well

    I'm guessing that they are trying to blackmail the original seller into buying the item back. Not a good idea really but vaguely amusing for the rest of us.

    Retrobate 45 up, 13 downn. One who can't, or who refuses to walk the bleeding edge of technology, preferring old, reliable tools. I.e. one who shuns PDAs for notebooks, pencils and pocket calendars; would rather meet in real life than on MySpace; and who'd still shoot with cameras which require film. A Luddite.
    Bill is the kind of retrobate who rides an old, carburated Harley, rather than a new, reliable, fuel-injected sport bike.
