Just seen this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-WHITE-KitchenAid-pro-500-Stand-Mixer-/160929811249?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25782a0b31
The title and picture suggest it's for the mixer yet... I know that can't be the case but... shouldn't ebay do something about this kind of thing?

It says you are buying a wholesale list if you read the blurb:o0

Apparently this buyer has bought at least 18 low value items today , yet they have no feedback as a seller.
Would not touch it with a barge pole!
His feedback just gone up to 20 - something definitely wrong!0 -
I sort of guessed that it was something like that.
The listing title is: 'Brand New White KitchenAid pro 500 Stand Mixer' with sub-line as 'only one purchase per person at this price please'.
Then the text of the listing is not really specific and it again shows the mixer so I think this is really naughty.:hello:0 -

Did you report it to ebay ?0 -
and why is it listed in dollars from a supposedly UK based seller.
The listing doesn't make it plainly clear what you are buying - very dodgy.
(I reported it)

It is misleading but I suspect it is still live as most people see the bit about only buying a wholesale list and walk away.

also if you look at feedback left for others he seems to be leaving feedback as soon as he has bought an item...
Very odd!0 -
At least only one person has been stupid enough to buy a wholesale list from an obvious scammer.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I have reported it but the system does not make it easy... the options don't really cover it.
Can everyone else report it too please as it really gets my goat when peeps try to take buyers for a mug.
Thanks:hello:0 -
he has just sold another item. Looks like he listed his items on 3 day listings...
Looking at his profile is way more interesting then the packing I should be doing!0
