doubt there is anything to worry about, especially if he wants to pay cash.

If you just wanted to get your feedback up, wouldnt you buy something a bit cheaper than shoes?

shady ebay buyer - beware !, by jakek on Feb 4, 2009 18:52:04 GMT 1, There's every chance it's genuine - maybe he's just got into ebay (yes, there are people like that!) and having got some shoes he was after started looking for art he wanted.
Rather than be wary about wanting to pay cash and collect in person i'd find that more reassuring - and just imagine if you'ld just started using ebay, you'ld have every reason to ask those questions about collecting in person - i'm still very cautious when sending large sums of money.
As for the santa's ghetto typo, well there are plenty of people here with shocking spelling, and at least they know about it so have some interest in the art...

ps note to self, never buy 4 pairs of trainers and a dvd, I might look suspicious!!

Its all well saying that Loucastel, but i reckon there may be grounds for suspicion after all, its possibly a well known fact that all if not many of the worlds criminals (documented or otherwise) have at some point bought shoes or similar footwear and quite possibly a DVD or similar, and if thats not proof enough he or she or it now wants to buy a Micallef?, gwilty.

Very good point, you could well be right, nothing to do with dvd watching, trainer wearing, art apreciating dodgy octopuses, looks like I was way off track.
Wizbong, you are right and I bow to your powers of deduction, after doing extensive research into this, I have come up with this startling fact. ALL criminals wore shoes, and sometime in their life, from 1996 on-wards, bought dvd's.
