General Ebay Moan - Laughable Feedback

Hi,

just having a general moan about Ebay feedback.

I noticed this guy:

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=asap247uk

who, for the grand total of 2 months and approx £8.00 has amassed and 800+ rating.

Rather makes a mockery of it all.

Cheers,
Karen

    Erm, he's only been an Ebay member since October 2007, so maybe you should check that :p

    Nope - the photo in the listing is only 22.26k in size (and 444x332 pixels), whereas the item being sold is 160k in size and presumably of higher resolution.

    1p is not exactly a lot to spend if you happen to like the picture.

    which is why you shouldnt just look at the FB numbers % and date of joining.
    actually check out the FBs. esp when purchasing an expensive item/s.

    this scammer is obviously just waiting for the time to put his laptops/mobiles etc... up for sale.
    Get some gorm.
  • the grand total of £8? thats a little harsh! he has sold many items for £7 £8 £9 even upto £14 quid

    are people allowed to call other people scammers without any eveidence. I always assumed you had to have actually done something before being accused.
