Well, I think It's been said old man. If only you had checked the feedback before you bought, 55 negs on feedback tells it all. Also beware of any that want bankers order or postal orders. I would think it's a case of join the queue, now that he's done a runner.

I can't see what breaking a leg in Neath would do as he was in London.

You have his address.

Contact all the other bidders who have lost out.

Report to the police.

Waste of time telling Ebay.

 

In future read the feedback, and as for negs ask the seller to explain.

 

I bought a stuffed chicken from a seller who's feedback was terrible.

I asked her to explain and it turned out she was having a divorce and couldn't get online to sort her ebay.

She turned out to be a good ebayer.

 

This seller may have been in an accident, lost use of computor or any amount of reasons beyond his control.

His feedback wasn't to bad then all of a sudden went bad.

 

PM me his name and address, I'll see if I can trace a phone number for that address.

Big scam, ouch...

 

Now NARU'd no point in contacting ebay, get onto some of the others that have

reported to the police and get togeather, the more that do the more chance the police will do some thing about it.

 

Re Possitive feedback, either it was highly organised and planned in advance

or the account was hijacked.

 

Quick look again,registered in 2000, think this account was hijacked :-(

 

Good luck
