Another eBay con Artist ??? Update 29/06/06 I was right!!!!!

Check this guys feedback

He is selling Graphics cards for very cheap prices.

But checking his feedback i noticed that all feedback he received on the 22 of June was left just minutes after the sale!



Dodgy...


What do you think >?


<Edit> See page 3 email from eBay

seems a bit dodgy to me, who leaves feedback before they have recieved what they bought? and the word transaction pops up a lot in the feed back, ive got feedback of over 100 and i rarely see the or use the word transaction.

Definitely seems dodgy to me, but maybe that's cos i'm a distrusting kind of person

On the face of it it does seem a bit iffy that people leave feedback of "Lightening fast postage" barely ten minutes after the auction has ended.

I very rarely get feedback left for me as a seller until the buyer has received their goods - which is exactly what I do when I'm a buyer too. In fact the only times I have is when they actually know me.

But there's quite a diverse selection of feedback ratings there - though some are repeat customers for him so may be simply leaving feedback based on their previous purchases.

If it were me and his prices are average (bear in mind a Graphics Card to me means a piece of Artboard which I'd paint on!) I'd still shop about for another seller with a better rating or an ebay shop.

I'm just going to call the bugger.

Obviously his feedback is fake. He put a phone number on his auctions.

Thing is I already bought the card & then noticed the dodgy feedback...


Also payment is by bank transfer only...

.

all the puchases seem to have been within a day of each other though so still very suspect to me

When did you win the auction? Have you not recieved the GfxCard? He may be fine so give him the chance to send you what you want but I agree it does look a little suspect. I personally would buy expensive items like that from a seller with little feedback.

no I just won the auction yesterday.

have not even heard from him yet.


Will call him and have his dodgy feedback explained by him b4 I sent any payment.

Oh dear...

I did some more digging, checked the feedbacks from his previous buyers.

The same is there aswell. Item bought - feedback left straight after.

Lots of his recent buyers are USA registerd.

This smells.

Seems like he hijacked various member accounts & is using them.

In which case it does seem very dodgy, good job you aint sent any money.

Report it to ebay fraud dept and possibly police, they now have a dept sey up purely for internet fraud. Even if you havn't sent money "attempting to obtain monies by deception is a crime" Well done for spotting it before you sent dosh.
