The reason i ask. I have bought some snap on spanners on ebay. The guy has 40 positive feedback, but all the things he has bought are private, and all the people who have bought from him have registered very close to when he did. Infact all within 2 weeks. Item number is 250230721601 . He doesnt have Paypal, and want bank transfer. I dont know if you have any comback via this method. I have said i will send a personel cheque, but again i dont know about the comeback if it goes Pear shaped. Does anone think this is a coincidence?
Anyway. If anyone lives nearby, could they collect and pay, and i will travel to you with some beer tokens to go on top please.
If it were closer i would tkae the gamble. He says its ok to collect, but its a 200 mile round trip for me.
Thanks in advance. Wayne.

i go to waterloo most days ( work on the railway) could possibly meet him there but would have to be at a time that fits in with my schedule ??? If its any use then drop me a line
-
Thaks Burgerman. Is that close by. I dont want to put you out. :D
-
I lived in this area for years.......
Could get over there in the next few days.
I smell a BIG RAT though.....
All of his buyers registered with e-bay on the 29th Feb. or the 1st March....i.e within the last 4 weeks!
This is far too much of a coincidence for my liking...
I wouldn't dream of sending the crook my money....
The address is a flat above a shop, as far as I remember or, maybe a shed behind a shop!
If you want I'll try to get over maybe Wed. next week!
Ring me if you want as I've just told Tiscali what to do with their 1 meg of broadband!!!!
I may loose broadband in the next few days...

Hi Cactus. Well this is why i asked on here. I was hoping there would be someone who knows the area. If you could get up there it would be great. I will call you when i have heard back from ebay. Thanks again Wayne. :)

Also, someone that 'bought' a defender said its a good 'geep' in the feedback... If id just spent 5 grand on it, id know what it was.
Also, look at the feedback for the people that have bought cameras, and cars etc.
They all have the same spelling errors, and the same feedback in different orders.
I would report it to Ebay for looking dodge, and get someone to go round.
Defo dont send the sneaky "insert word of your choice here" any money!
-
Also, if you look at the feedback for all his buyers, they all have feedback from the same people.
I reckon this guy is as dodgy as they come.
-
Yes, his feedback is very dodgy. I think ill pop up there myself. It doesnt look like there is anyone that close on here. Its a shame. I would have meda it worth the while. Im going up on Friday if anyone wants to come as backup. :)
-
Well. I had been striniging it out, and low and behold got an email from Ebay today. The guy has ben banned, and i no longer have to go through with it. Ill keep the address in the tomtom. If i ever go that way i will pop round. :)
