Yeah dodgy...and why would a buyer leave this as feedback;

"Very Fast Payment, many thanx!"
"Excellent, Fast Payment!!!"
"Smooth transaction; Fast Payment. A+++"

when they are the ones who gave the payment themselves. LOL. Laughing

All the folk who left feedback are all registered on the 1-07-2006.

They all left feedback on 08-07-06.

Probably best staying clear of that auction.

No it's not.

I've got plenty of decent goods for a decent price from Hongkong/China, just need to use some common sense in what you buy and who you buy from.
