Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / June 2005What's wrong with this guy?
http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=106407&item=6410283958&rd=1 How can it be so low at 19 hours from the end (11.50 euro)?

The seller has good feedback, even though buying direct from Hong Kong seems risky. Dave I sifted down through the seller's feedback; didn't like what I saw. The seller's lifetime feedback is 42 reports. What's suspicious about it is that they're all less than a week old, and from the quick spot-check that I did on the accounts who were leaving his positive feedback, it would appear that none of his "buyers" have existed for more than a month or so. Call me paranoid, but this looks like contrived feedback traffic, created by a cadre of sockpuppets, which is exactly what a scammer who wants to make himself look presentable would try to do. Personally, I would avoid bidding on anything from a seller with a suspicious looking history like this one; YMMV. -hh > http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=106407&item=6410283958&rd=1 > How can it be so low at 19 hours from the end (11.50 euro)? 1. Because he want to be paid by methods that offer the buyer absolutely no protection against freud. 2. Because his 42 "buyers" all registered their feedback within a 4 hour span on June 28. Any money wired to this guy will be lost.

Thanks for the tips on what to look out for on scam auctions. I've bought a lot of stuff on Ebay and haven't been ripped off yet but there's always a first time. In maybe 50 purchases in the past 4 years I've only had two really slow shipments, and one misrepresentation of the condition of a 7" vinyl record (and the seller refunded me some money on that one).

Good catch - if I had 100Euro to risk on it like I suggested, I hope I would have read deeper and noticed that. > 1.

Almost like the Nigerian scams, saying they've got a $10k check, and the price is $7k, so if you send them $3k, ... > Any money wired to this guy will be lost. Truly.

He will post the recipe to China. "A beautiful pavlova crispy on the outside and a nice soft filling on the inside. Very easy to make!" >> http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=106407&item=6410283958&rd=1 >> How can it be so low at 19 hours from the end (11.50 euro)? >> Cheers, Marco > This guy sells recipes for pavlova (meringue) for RMB 0.99 a pop > (about 10 cents?).

That's how you get 42 positive feedbacks in 4 hours.
