Possible dodgy ebay seller. Beware

[EL.50]

Hi guys,

A while back a person I know bought some items from gumtree, and paid via bank deposit, and the items never arrived. The phone number was then disconnected, and all their ads disappeared from gumtree.

I then noticed, on ebay...a freshly joined seller was selling AU Ghia items, and the pics they were using, were from recently ended items. The seller listed the items as being from the same area of Sydney as the items from gumtree.

I contacted ebay showing them the recently ended ads, and these new ads, ebay promptly removed the seller.

Now today, I've noticed this

Ebay

0 feedback, from the same area and selling items very cheap, such as the Fairlane headlights...that is around half the price of what most people list them as. And the wording in the ad, is VERY similar to the dodgy ads from before, where the seller states to contact them with your reasonable offer - Exactly what they did last time (my guess is they accept any offer you make, and take your money with zero intention of sending items)

He was refusing to let people pay by paypal.

So if any of you are the ones bidding on the door spears, or the headlight that has a bid on it, please be careful, and ensure you pay ONLY by paypal, so you can get your money back if the item doesn't show.

The previous ebay account that was removed, had feedback stating people had gone to the house to pick items up, and were threatened until they left. So be careful
