Hi SootyR32, in regards to rougepi he has been good with all my dealings. i was unaware of what he was doing was incorrect.

[dr00]

with ebay australia taking away reserves you cant really stop people from enforcing their own reserves...

[SootyR32]

I'm sorry to RoguePi if he is a real nice bloke, but 3 items I was bidding on all got cancelled right at the last minute. As for things with no reserve, put a higher price on them or use buy-it-now. Sorry but ending auctions early is both a bastards act and very much against ebay policy.

i got the same emails for him and asked for address to see the car as it is advertised in bris and he said no address without deposit......and check out the silver supra 4 sale there too its posted be the same guy with different user name....it is regoed in ACT, advertised in gold coast yet same reply for deposit first

[sewid]

You know Ebay just got a new head of security for Australia. Alistair McGibbon - formerly of the federal police computer crime unit (high tech crimes it might have been called). Hes quite a good bloke so its probably worth sending him an email with this guys auction in it, including all the information gathered so far.

If anyone PMs me with a list of auctions and information you know so far I will send off an email and he can take some action.

[NRB]

I received a generic reply from eBay as soon as I posted to them. 1 hour later I had a personal reply from a staff member. They're looking into it.

The more people who complain/notify them and the more information provided, the safer it will be for all of us genuine eBayers.

[INASNT]

He still hasent replied to my $90,000 offer, da bastard!!!!

I sent him another email offering to open up a undiclosed account in a Caman Islands offshore holding company for him to make the $90,000 transaction, but no reply either, hahahaha

There was a new monaro up for grabs on ebay. It had a start bid of $8000, the car is in tasmania but he was overseas. He wanted a $3000 deposit before he let you see the car or gave you the address for it, Another Scam!!

sounds like the same guy

[SootyR32]

Wow, look, another! He must be scamming some idiots if he keeps doing it! This one says it's 2002 model, didn't know they came out in a complete R33 bodykit?

Send him this one!

SootyR32, I think you are more disappointed you didnt get your bargain price performance bits, rather than the fact he choses to cancel his auctions early. True, it should be offered at a higher price, or buy now option, but he may choose to set a lower price to get more people initially interested....No need to bad mouth somone if they chose to do things differently - even if they havent read the ebay rules....

[SootyR32]

That's not it at all. I looked at all the auctions he had listed (it was around 20) and only 3 hadn't been cancelled. Once again, I'm sorry to RoguePi and I don't mean any harm. But an auction is an auction. I never cancel mine unless there is a genuine reason. I think I've cancelled maybe 6 in 6 years out of aorund 400 items I've listed.

[NRB]

I've done the contact eBay thing again... will be interesting to see what happens.

[SootyR32]

I think a few of us must of sent in as I only got the generic reply.
