    Would be interesting if the OP could confirm if it was a different transaction.
    Something does smell a little fishy here.

    I spotted that too, but the end date is still showing as 22nd June in the completed search results.
    Oh yeah, I'm a week ahead of myself!

  • there was an ebayer at the begining of june which i have posted on other listings going by diffrent names and he was also selling vouchers under the name kakindafleet AKA toyboxbargains AKA moonmonkey_2001 and he will have some more names by now and he is from crewe does this ring any bells with the op regarding who he purchased them off ?
    I won some figures and recognised the name from when some one bought off me and they became narud and jipped me (kakindafleet) but the pratt had left his email name from toyboxbargains on his paypal, so basically i bid on some things of his and low and behold same name diffrent live.com email, i went on goofbay checked bid history and found moonmonkeys wins were all going second chance offers (shill bidding) so i reported him anyway if it is him P.M. me and i will forward his details to you and his address:D
    I am in the prossess of putting my complaint forward to the police and if they don't do anything crewe isn't that far;)

    You're gonna need a bigger brush for a generalisation of that scale!!!!
    "Thank-you for your support", on behalf of all the genuine high value sellers on eBay.

    I'm sure there are lots of genuine sellers of high value items. Unfortunately,the presence of scammers leads to genuine sellers losing out as buyers have to build in a chance of losing all their money, so what appears to be a bargain is no longer so when a (high) level of risk is built in. I've set myself a limit above which I won't go on ebay because of this, which is a shame as there are lots of genuine things i'm missing out on.
    :D
