Default What do you think of this - ebay scammer ?

Sorry if this isn't allowed but wonder if I can get you guys opinion on this auction..

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

First look it seems all ok - power seller and all that - then I dig a bit deeper...

All the feedback up to 23 Oct 02 is as a buyer not a seller.
All feedback since then is with buy it now items and mostly from accounts that haven't in themselves been used in a couple of years.
The seller has a number of other auctions running - all for high value items of different categories ending in the next 12 hours.
The auction is an exact copy of one completed a few weeks ago from the US - text and pictures all the same..
He will only accept money order..

Makes my blood boil...I'm sure some people are gonna fall for this guy..

How do I report him ?

Cheers..

no pick-ups either!!!!
why wouldn't you want anybody to come to you pay you in cash then go? no postal insurance either which means he's gonna blame royal mail or the courier.
he's not breakin any rules though just hope people smell a rat like you did

You're having a laugh?

Actually take the time to look at the feedback from his sellers and see when they last bought anything.
A well planned scam for Christmas?
