e-Bay puzzle

[Plevier]

I was interested in this item
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....317892&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1182
then I dug a bit and found these
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/lewmar-winch-...91122?IMSfp=TL091122178003r2068#ht_500wt_1182
and
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320438029291#ht_770wt_1165
and
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320438920634#ht_770wt_1165
and
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320440914428#ht_863wt_1165
and from another seller but remarkably similar
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/lewmar-winch-...91201?IMSfp=TL091201026002r1191#ht_500wt_1182

They seem to get an awful lot of things and then not bother fitting them don't they?
Items ring any bells with anyone?

She must be very lazy to need three autopilots.

Very similar (spelling Paypall) to this seller

I think this one has offered quite a few items on the YBW For Sale forum - mostly Raymarine but also winches & clutches.

Same person perhaps - different locations given

Looks like a trader.

BTW, it takes about 3 minutes to set up a PayPal account.

 

[aquaplane]

Only 7 feedback too, must have got a bad name under the other account and decided to move on, you can still pay him, sorry, her partner, through paypal though.

ebay blues

and that so called partner doesn't exist...

just walk away?

 

[Plevier]

I did walk away - didn't bid although I very much want those winches! Just too many things that don't add up.

If a genuine trader, why the rubbish reasons, why the PayPal evasiveness (which leaves you with no comeback via ebay) and how could a legit trader sell brand new winches at that price level? Barely over half list.

She did offer local collection but it would be an all day trip for me, and without making accusations, one has to wonder about the provenance of the goods as the story given does not make sense.

Report suspicions to ebay. They reacted pretty quickly to one I reported not long ago. Again I had no proof, but strong suspicions.

Agree definitely report them, I did the same with a dodgy seller on Amazon & they've now disappeared. If they are legit they shouldn't mind being checked out should they. Wouldn't buy from them myself...
