in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
Is this another dodgy seller or a hacked account?

    I don't think anyone would bother hacking a selling ID with 1 feedback.

    Despit eonly basic paypal protection (ie none) people will still bid..

    I will go as far as saying this will be a total scam for any unsuspecting buyers

    Buyers Piece of mind.
    Everything I sell on eBay is in full working order, boxed, with receipts and warranties. and I offer refunds and free delivery. I’m 18 years old, I’m a training psychotherapist and my interests are hypnotism, internet, philosophy and sports. It is my ambition to have a successful eBay shop that has many repeat customers and referrals as physically possible. the products I sell are special to me because I believe and know so much about them, I specialise in Pheromones because I use them and have enjoyed the amazing effects, I sell Hypnotism and NLP training with personal MSN instant messaging support, and I am just beginning to bring popular consumer electronics like TVs, DVDs, games consoles, cameras to the public for unbeatable prices, I don’t hope to make excessive profit on each item as I intend to make money from volume. Please take time to look at some other products and read about them as I wouldn’t sell anything I don’t fully believe in myself. I hope to be seen as a trustworthy honest seller that answers all your questions immediately and delivers you the best service I can offer. Thank you for reading my item. .....James

    They must pay well :rolleyes:

    is there any chance that he could be genuine and using a drop shipper?

    Not a chance anyone should be taking with this seller with high value items.
    No protection and they would have emptied their account long before the goods should have arrived. But thats just my opinion for what its worth. ;)

    It made me laugh about the Pheromones in the description item No.320206349738

    I would think there was very little chance anyone bidding would ever see one of the TVs or their money ever again.
