Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 I am almost convinced this is our friend from Belgium. It is easy to register an account in a different country. Unless he has moved he is in Mons.
Steve G Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Amazingly bidding has shot up to £5K on this record.... Bet the ''seller'' is pissing his pants at the thought. WOOF! link 9.5K top bid now - well done Pikey's Dog - top man!!!
vaultofsouler Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Amazingly bidding has shot up to £5K on this record.... Bet the ''seller'' is pissing his pants at the thought. WOOF! link Yes amazing Joe.... brilliant ....
Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) How do you prove to ebay that a new account has been set up by a scammer? I wonder if he as a seller would also pay ebay their percentage and fees, or avoid that somehow? You need a credit card to set up a selling account with ebay and you think they would block ones that have been abused from setting up new accounts? Edited April 14, 2005 by Guest
Steve G Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Yes amazing Joe.... brilliant .... link I wonder at what point do the Ebay geeks in California wake up and pull it? Such fun this
Guest dodger Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Think I saw you ordering a drink in Playa del Mar a few years ago Rog. (Very, VERY LOUDLY) 'One-o bottle-o of beer-o pour favour' And the job was done link That's right, and when I asked a local where the airport was I just stood there with my arms outstretched rocking from side to side and said 'Biggo silver birdo, Manuel?' and funnily enough he didn't know what I was saying. Can't think why!!

Such fun this link Usually never .... many just go through and end.... then I suppose the "seller" then gets de-registered when eBay don't get their bit.... been a fair few like that ....
Steve G Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Usually never .... many just go through and end.... then I suppose the "seller" then gets de-registered when eBay don't get their bit.... been a fair few like that .... link Ah well we will have some more fun out of this then for at least another day - though as Rog says it is a very disappointing development. Big up to the Soul - Sourcers who have potentially risked a sacrificial "negative feedback" in order to expose this crook.
Ady Potts Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Up to $10,000 now...... WOOF! link Brilliant! Any chance it could make $20,000? Ah dear....The things that help us through the day

Guest in town Mikey Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 I reckon Sneaky bugger is one of his mates, and he is just trying to get a decnet price for the item.

pikeys dog Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Anyone else care to have a bid? I can *guarantee* you'll not beat sneaky_bugger WOOF!
pikeys dog Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 He'll have to end the auction soon - the number of high bids will be making him shite himself at the level of the eBay fees. We need some other bidders now so that he has to manually cancel all of the bids....... WOOF!

Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Someone should ask him if it is the version WITHOUT the Church Choir backing, as you have the rarer Church Choir backing but want the one without....but then again why bother - why no action from E Bay then? link Ebay are proberly reading this now,and having good giggle,if they pulled the the thing,it would be the end o this threid, and it is quiet funny this,not like some of the stuff on here.

No, you pay the total of the bid on the auction, nothing else, unless you snipe it Scaredy cat. I imagine that an appropriate response to any attempt to recover such an amount would both begin and end in "f". Anyone feel like asking a question on the listing itself for posterity's sake? Maybe linking this thread?
Guest Stuart T Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Yes, just mail him and say . . . 'Vous etes un tete de knob et un wipe de arse et un f*cker de votre mere' . . . he should gettez le message. link This excellent alternative on-line disctionary should provide many of the words that you need: https://www.notam02.no/~hcholm/altlang/ht/French.1.html#so38 I love the use of "the redcoats are coming" for Japanese flag day.
