This guy has listed loads memorabilia a lot of it very high end stuff. He starts each one stating "this is a photograph of.." and then in small print in yellow print and often in italics which makes it unreadable he has put "Please note this is a photograph of the product not the actual product. Thank you "

Strong suspicion he's trying to rip people off...feedback of 13 only one as a seller then a whole load of pictues of expensive items up for sale..

I've emailed him but I don't expect a response.

Hard to say :?

He does take Paypal (or papal as he calls it in aution :lol: )

so you would have some come back if you won and paid by paypal 8)

just seems a bit dodgy like you are actually bidding on a photograph....

 

[roundster]

This guy agrees with you Bollux

what a wanker!

just asked him a question to cause trouble! :lol: :lol:

 

[Jukesy]

Yeah definately a scam!!

Glad you read the yellow text before you bid

Just reported the C3 P0 to ebay as a misleading title listing

No doubt they will do nothing as usual

Fair play, good to see people going to some lengths to stop rip off merchants. He strikes me as a bit of a chancer, probably came up with the idea and too thick to realise he'll have any come back on it.

I emailed Ebay to make them aware as soon as I spotted the C3PO. I mean he selling a pair of Ali's signed boxing gloves on ebay 99p start ffs, talk about drawing attention to your scam! Suprised he hasn't got a few Da Vinci's on there too!

Items now seem to be being removed 8)

The highest bidder on the bank note which has just been removed was a bidder with zero feedback who has also bid on about 8 of his other items today as well so it seems he is bidding on his own stuff. Intrestingly before it was removed I saw this bidder was also bididng on other sellers items today aswell, perhaps this guy has a few dodgy sales under different names, unfortunatley I can't work out what the items were he was bidding on. The way ebay restricts info recently seems to help the scammer rather than people trying to shop them :evil:

Auction has been removed now, guess Ebay actually did something, for once!

 

[Jukesy]

Well ebay staff aren't the most cleverest of people now are they!!

Looks like they've onyl removed his SW stuff and nothing else...

Ã'£3000 for a photo :shock:

What an asshole :!: :!:

Not even a photo, a photocopy!

 

[lee gray]

you know I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt until i scrolled my mouse over the tiny yellow writing to see what it said

that person will sure be pleased with that Ã'£3200 photo

i wonder if that tiny writing will be enough though to prevent paypal or ebay from taking any action as after all the auction title itself is totally misleading

 

[mash]

what a wanker isnt that deliberately misleading buyers surely ebay must shut him down :twisted: :evil: :twisted:

mash

 

[Bollux]

just emailed the top bidder of the Harry Potter auction to warn them

 

[weasel]

You hear back form them Bollux?

I have to admit if that was me and I paid for Ã'£3000+ for something that turned out to be a photocopy or a picture I'd be straight on a plane to get hold of the wanker who had done it, and would probably end up doing time.
Although, I don't actually have 3 grand to spend and hate Harry ****ing Potter but anyway! :lol:

 

[Jukesy]

I emailed most of his buyers bidding on his items too and not heard a whisper from them!! :x
