Yup that's the same scammer as before, the one KevB pursued. I have given up reporting this stuff to Ebay Central Command, becuase their reporting system sucks

I'm curious having bought several items from ebay, whats the problem with this? it looks like an unwanted item...could always be stolen I guess? but otherwise cant see a problem....so why the concern.

Why it looks iffy!

A 3 day posting

Seller has no history and signed up on 24 April 05

No P&P information

No payment method information.

Seller can't figure out where he is (Belgium/UK?)

Sellers ebay handle is the same as his email handle so it looks as if it's a new e-mail address just set-up

Seller doesn't answer emails

Seller requests emails direct and not via the Ebay messaging system - I've sent to both and had no answer to either

Potential buyers questions are not shown

I've reported this one to ebay as well - watching with interest!
If it goes the distance I'll email the winner to be aware of possible fraud

And:

... and a previous time he ebayed he gave a London address to KevB by email which was a lie - cos by coincidence the address he gave is a place I know, and I know for sure he doesn't live/work there.

Someone on scuttlebut paid up and never got the goods.

This is definitely a scammer, his auctions have been pulled several times but he just re-registers under a new name and repeats the scam

CONFIRMED SCAMMER

Email I got back from the real Audrey!!!

Hi, I'm sorry but I'm not the one who bid on E-Bay, I Live in Canada and this person have use my email. I'm sure it's a mistake from her and I asked e-bay to remove my adress from the site but They haven't done it so I still receive email from people like you but I'm not the good person. Do you know a way to remove my email faster?? I'm a little bit frustrated that they don't answer me about that.

Thanks

Audrey Laberge

A good deal

As we are talking about ebay. I've just ordered a 2.4kva suitcase generator which seems a bargain. Generator. Cheapest I could find by far. Being delivered friday, I'll be able to give it a test run over the weekend.

Think that he was...

Think that he was trying to get a genuine bidder to go higher. If you look at the timing of the bids, there was a genuine-looking bidder (kerry80_0) who put his third bid in just a few minutes before the close. The audrey8672 bid went in less than a minute later, but kerry80_0 didn't bid any more.
