Until the 8th of April things were going swimmingly, then people less than a week after buying started screaming.

Chain reaction of screamers yelping "scammer!" and cheerio ebay account.

Perhaps they went on holiday?

Did people mistake the words "free economy delivery" for "next day delivery"?

Another reason to abandon ebay...

Maybe the seller died/was in an accident/fell of the end of the world.....

Whatever happened it was on the 8th.

Perhaps the world ended but we didn't notice?

Seller was probably a victim of Ebay/Paypals random account freezes/ suspensions - and thought sod it.

Well there's a new system on the way later this year. There's always going to be unforeseen problems even with the most trustworthy of sellers (no idea if this applies here).

Think of some of the high street chains that have gone bust leaving people with worthless gift vouchers.

I don't think the new system comes in until the autumn.

I see the 5 stars thing as new system as that wasnt originally there.
