I have been checking out ebay for a laptop the last few days and
I have found that there are alot of laptops on ebay.ie with the
item location as china,ireland.This people selling the laptop have
100% feedback that they got by buying 10 items at 1 us cent.They
are also on ebay.uk and they sell about 10 items each account that
end within minutes of each other.When the last one is sold if you
check there feedback they are NO LONGER REGISTERED.

I was going to put this in the geek zone but someone might miss it
and get ripped off.

Has anyone else noticed this kind of thing.

See it all the time with all sorts of electrical items, most of them are so obviously scams no one ever bids on them

I would never buy an item if it wasn''t located in the UK.

Any item outside UK I dont bother with.
So so so many scammers.
I sold my cam for 200 smackers. Got paid, I was ill and Posting was delayed. And im glad, as the card was stolen.
My sisters account got broken into, some git was selling laptops, desktops the lot. Lucky she checked when she did (not used oftern)
Had many people buy it now and forward another address.
Basically ive given up on Ebay. Waste of money, Waste of time and full of bullshitters
