Dodgy Ebay Listing

[jonathan75]

Very strange - surely an account with prior transactions would be traceable, suggesting he literally bought someone else's account.

Although I just can't see how he'd convince anyone to pay by a non-traceable method eg Western Union.

Reported -

His location has changed to Kings Lynn and wants comms through disposable email / mobile phone avoiding ebay's comms

I can't see it. Has it finished already?

WTF?

 

[Deleted member 4366]

Has it gone? I can't see it. It disappeared last time.

Feedback 100% though

He's gone international now. Everybody should report it.

Have you noticed that the seller has changed? The original eBay posts were by a Richard.francis with 0 feedback based in London.. This one is being offered by jdivadavid with a 100% feedback rating on 2101 ratings based in Bridgend. Still using same pics and some of the description. Agree it all looks decidedly suspicious.

Can a seller fake his feedback?

Note that there are only a handful of sales since 2006 - the feedback is almost all as a buyer. My bet is there's a market for clean eBay accounts.

Incidentally "Actionfraud" wrote back to me acknowledging my report and assuring me (not very effectively) that busy people were, somewhere, doing the right thing for the country, somehow, but that of course the need for secrecy meant they couldn't let me know what this would entail, or indeed if anything would happen with my report other than it being filed.

I rather think their name falls into the category of marketing words used, to paint something as the reverse of what it is.

Although there are also cheaper companies that do it.

Guess what's back, Jerry's bike .....again http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brompton-M2L-X-Titanium-Super-Lightweight-Electric-Pedelec-Conversion-/181676665506?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

Just sent the following message,

"Hi, I'm very interested in your bike.

Could I have your address and phone number so that I can tell the police where to find you?"

 

[Cyclezee]

Well that didn't last long, it's gone already!

This time the seller was in Bridgend and had a feedback score of over 2,000.

They disappear as fast as they're listed. You have to be quick to see them.

Someone once used my photos on ebay so I opened a chat with support and they took the listing down straight away.

Same experience here. Although it seems eBay couldn't give a crap about stolen property, stolen intellectual property is dealt with a firm hand. I can only assume this is because there is no financial gain to them from the latter.
