All feedback seems to be cash on collection stuff hence good feedback although everyone who has left feedback hardly have any themselves... dodgy, quite possibly

All of his feedback is from people with very low amounts of feedback themselves, and a lot seem to mention cash on collection. They also have simliar style user names: g.fisher, m.craig, r.gross etc.

Could well be dodgy

and his feedback as a buyer is all private too and towards the end most are unregistered users

All his feedback is also from new users so I'd be suspicious

That reeks of pish. Its painfully obvious all that feedback has been written by the same person, its all in the same style, with repeats of phrases etc. All the "buyers" have private feedback too. He is obviously listing stuff all over the place and "winning" it with his other accounts that he has set up to build up feedback before shafting as many people as he can in a few days and disappearing.
I would say report him to ebay, but they wont give a toss, he has already given them a fair whack in final value fees by the looks of things and at a quick glance, he looks legit. They generally arent bothered enough to dig a little deeper.

I see his account has been closed down now, as well as most of the accounts he had feedback from.

100% dodgy. You can tell a mile off from his feedback.
