daz Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I spotted this http://tinyurl.com/m4mqv and nearly fell off my chair. I've been sat here for 10 minutes wondering why this is so cheap.Then I looked at the feedback stats - all his 10 'sellers' are no longer registered users, and all of them have a zero count themselves.Something smells dodgy!!!!He also has an 8" Meade up as well.It just doesn't look right to me......

The Warthog Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 This looks so crooked you could hide it behind a corkscrew. There is no item listed on the auctions for which this buyer got the feedback, therefore, these are all fake transactions. You could report him to Ebay, and let them have a look, or you could offer to go over to the Netherlands with the £260 in hand, and pick it up if it is satisfactory. Probably a wasted trip, though. He's probably offering the pick up option as a confidence decoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Klevtsov Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 It got pulled.Obviously your warning was warranted, thanks!Captain Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warthog Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 He should be hanged, drawn, quartered, fed to the dogs, and then banned from Ebay for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermartin5 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 On the subject of ebay... Nothing to do with astronomy( but it could be) another word of warning.As a buyer I had problems recently and to cut a very long story short, 1. ebay is difficult to contact direct if you have a problem.They use what I call " system generated responses" to reply. Its nigh on impossible to communicate with a human being. 2. Bottom line----if things go wrong your on your own.MY opinion, if your only spending a few bob, no problem, but if your spending a lot of cash and dont know the seller be very careful.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
