I read someone got con on Ebay on a thread yesterday. The thread appears to be gone.

I just came across an ad on ebay with the exact same scam ('infomation only' in small print at the bottom) this time for an apple laptop.

I emailed ebay yesterday to ask them to take the advert off, I still have had no response. I also email BBC "watchdog" last night. Again still waiting for a response

note the highest bidder's handle :o)

yes I think it's .......

Check out the 'traders room' for the 'ebay fraud' thread

You would need TWO BIDDERS to get a bid up to, say 10,000, to stuff the seller. Otherwise the one bid, no matter how high it is, would only go as high as it needs to go to actually win the bid.

Anyhow, to complain to eBay, there is the eBay "Community Watch" page to do it from:

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/contact_inline/index.html

I would guess it is a

"Report a prohibited item or listing policy violation"

then

"Possible fraudulent listing"

then

"I didn't bid but I think a listing is fraudulent"

Hit "Continue"

then under the heading of "Contact Support"

Click on "E-Mail"

NB. Please allow up to 24 hours for a response.
In many cases, you will receive a response sooner.

Good Luck in shutting him down.

PS. eBay Rules and Policies and the list of violations are here:

Importantly NOTE:

They also say:-

Please note that the above list is neither exhaustive nor restrictive. eBay reserves the right to delete any listing that may violate any legal provision or the general principles and values of the eBay community, even if the legal provision or principles and values are not explicitly stated on the site.

E-mail arrived from highest bidder on this item .He withdrew his bid.A Pyyric victory for me:-)
