Just a heads up on this selller, claims not to know what I am talking about, you be the judge, see screen shot below.

I detest how Ebay do nothing about this, they claim to have a system in place but because it obviously increases their revenue they do zip........

I feel better now I have vented.

Nb: He's selling a lot of 2000 and 2001 sets.

Cheers
Ross

Ebay's system is they wait for people to do there job for them... It is only usually when people report that they do something about it... Their mindless robots that search through ebay only seem to pick up on trivial things...

He's been luck not to have to retract any bids, but the give away for me is the wide range of products he's bid on, from footy cards to sunglasses and even a rectal probe for greyhounds...........lol

In seriousness though, I feel sorry for the people who are unaware of it, or don't realise it is happening to them!

I was bidding on the card and not the nappies, or used girls shoes! Though maybe I should splash out and get some nappies for my daughter seen I am about to blow all this money on a card... and think of the combined shipping discount - Give Us A Break!

Did you go to the trouble to report him? I know it hardly seems worth it but.....hopefully he will get stuck with the high bid on the Chappelli, did you also notice he lists the card as 249/250 when the actual card is numbered 449!!!!!!

Following up on the seller I was bidding on. I contacted Ebay and they have removed all his current auctions (hardly a punishment at all). I hope this gets the message through to him, but unfortunately he will probably only morph into another seller or similiar.
