Well spotted mate, but surely those things are quite common in Edinburgh?

His oldest feedback is from the 23rd of this month, and all 21 are as a buyer. Looks a little hinky, but why do you think it's not legit? | |

I can smell a rat a mile off.
The advert is plainly a straight rip off of a US ad on ebay.com. I promise you that if you email him and ask if you can come and see the supercharger, you will get the usual reply..."out of the country" "I'll deliver it for you" " all transactions handled by ebay" etc etc (the last one is usually false)
Why would he build up feedback like that within a couple of days, buying low value e-books? it STINKS.
I hate scum like him

I have to agree about this being a scam. All the items purchases ranged from US $0.22 to $1.99 with most being in the $0.99 range. So, US $21.00 spent, all US purchases, no selling, and now he is advertising in GBP? Scarey.

I asked him if my cousin in Dundee could make arrangements to see the item. Needless to say, no reply yet.

I also reported it several days ago, but true to form, Ebay don't seem to care!

I got an email back from Ebay saying that they are investigating this "item".
Did you hear about the guy who went to the docs with a piece of lettuce sticking out of his arse. Doc said it was apparently just the tip of the iceberg.
Gives me an idea about scammers and pineapples!
Cheers
