ANOTHER DODGY CWS, by weaver on Oct 3, 2008 0:40:06 GMT 1, Its the same one, same seller, pics etc... markrobbo was the proposed previous buyer, maybe he can shed some light on the subject, as in did he decide against it etc... The pics of the number he was sent look good, but the seller refusing to meet up, only accepting bank transfers and selling on a 24hour auction all add up to muchos dodgy.

ANOTHER DODGY CWS, by carnoustieboy on Oct 3, 2008 9:00:01 GMT 1, I spotted this one yesterday.
I'm a Powerseller on eBay and have priority Customer Service treatement (apparently!) so I've contacted them about this including this forum thread. I've asked them to either make contact with the 'seller' or the winning bidder to warn them off. They only have a few hours at this point.
This looks like a Gumtree style scam to me and it will suck badly if these start slipping through the eBay net.

ANOTHER DODGY CWS, by worlddomination on Oct 3, 2008 9:28:16 GMT 1, It's just crazy, I think the idea of just creating dummy accounts and bidding silly prices is the easiest way to get rid of these jokers, we should just self police it ourselves because ebay clearly don't.

ANOTHER DODGY CWS, by carnoustieboy on Oct 3, 2008 9:43:27 GMT 1, I think World Domination has a point. I have a friend that did this. He sold an item which soon reappeared for sale by a bogus seller. Same description, photos etc. He 'won' it and left negative explaining the whole thing. Bear in mind that sellers can't leave negative or neutral anymore then in theory all you can get is a non paying strike but I very much doubt these sellers will go to the effort to pursue any sort of justice.
The only problem is that I think these scammers target inexperienced eBayers a lot of the time with bogus emails gaining their log in details and thus using a legitimate account for their business.
