Keithl Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 His last feedback was left in June 2006 so I would be very wary! Keith. Edit, And 82 sold TODAY! Come on this has to be a scam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Something suspicious Dr Dave, no deals whatsoever for over a year could be a very crafty way of covering some less than perfect history, and as you say ridiculously cheap. How often in life is it a case of 'if it seems too good to be true, it is' Merle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Of the 270 sold only able to view the last 100 transactions all in the last 2 days. Could just be a typo & should be £122. But only other item listed by him is a Triax 1.1m satellite dish at £15.95 with free P&P this dish is normally around £60-£80 again sales only in the last 2 days very suspicious.

Mel B Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 ... so why don't you report it as a fraudulent listing? *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolly1965 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 0% positive feedback - sounds very dodgy to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Dave Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Mel B - 2012-02-18 7:46 PM ... so why don't you report it as a fraudulent listing? *-) I suspect if it is indeed fraudulent the 292 odd people who have purchased one will report it. i suspect that it probably should be £122.49 but the sellers lack of recent activity looks odd.

Brambles Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have checked the listings and has the hallmarks of being fraud. The listing desriptions details are copied from this seller as far as I can tell http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/80w-Mono-Solar-Panel-12V-Battery-Charge-Car-Boat-Motorhome-Caravan-Barge-/220862592667?pt=UK_Gadgets&hash=item336c6fb69b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The listing has been removed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Brambles - 2012-02-18 9:23 PM The listing has been removed now. Good ... I reported it as being fraudulent when I'd read the thread on here, so that might be why, and no more people will be conned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brambles Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Oh jeeez, I should not have posted the listing which had been copied and teh text and picture used to compile the scam listing.. Hallii, that is a company selling and is legit. The spammer copied their pages, thats all. I should not have posted the link as obviously confused at least one person..

sshortcircuit Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 For all the doubts about ebay I am impressed. I "watched" this item and sent the seller a question on his price with both actions showing up on my account. The item has now been withdrawn and these notes have disappeared. I had sent a copy of my question to my own email A/c which is still there, obviously, but the link now indicates item removed. Ebay must pay attention so good on them.

OK, well they have got a bit of free publicity anyway! Some good bargains on their website. That's the power of the old websternet, it can be total rubbish, but it can also provide total knowledge, it's knowing when to make that distiction betwixt the two.

lennyhb Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 The satellite dish listing has also gone & he appears to no longer be a member, looks like eBay have struck him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 There are a lot of dummies out there who compromise their own security on Ebay, and a lot of dodgy dealers as well listing stuff that does not exist. As is often the case if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
