Is this a scam?

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....

This guy agrees with you Bollux

what a wanker!

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

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!

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...

Look at this one....

Not even a photo, a photocopy!

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

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

mash

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

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:

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