    I'd wager he'll pull them all before the end, if they don't get taken down by Ebay. Whatever happens they won't last long with an Ebay account.

    Reported them for another of their listings - all seem to be 99p advertising, contact seller to buy for a higher price.

    I've spoken to ebay regarding it - they are not interested at all.

    Absolute waste of time.

    I bid 99p on a different item and got an email this morning
    Hello. You've placed the bid for the advertising only. If you're interested in purchasing the Sudini boots for 65 GBP, please let me know your paypal e-mail address and I send you invoice right away. The shipping is free.
    Kind Regards,

    Sent them a message saying they couldn't do that but they then cancelled my bid and sent this
    Hello. Please read carefully the description. "This is advertising at 0.99 cost. etc"
    I have also placed the boots in "other" category.
    If you don't agree with what you read in the item description, just don't place the bid.
    Thank you.
    Kind Regard

    It's crooks like this that spoil ebay for every one else - I'm so annoyed! I was going to bid on everything they were selling just to annoy them but they've now blocked me!

    Well they've either had a very busy night or most of their listings have been pulled!
    They had two pairs left listed, have just reported those.

  • Can't believe they're not interested in obvious fee avoidance. I recommend as many people as possible report the listings. The power of many and all that. ;)

  • I just had a look and all the feedback is for things this person has bought, not sold. Makes you even more suspicious doesn't it?

    You're right, no feedback as a seller at all

    They clearly pull the auctions before they end - and are just hoping someone emails them to buy at the price stated.

    Pathetic - as is Ebays reponse.
