"Can someone do me a favour?"

Right, Ive been banned from ebay recently (because i was selling goods in the wrong catagory) and I stupidly wanted to get an IPOD off this idiot via email. I paid for the goods etc and the stupid IPOD never got delivered. I reported him to the police (which were useful to an extent) and Ive tried contacting ebay with no success. I tried to contact the fraud user through email, phone and mobile (all of which were useless), his mobile was turned off for 2 weeks, his home number was someone elses and he didnt read his emails. I was in an unfortunate position given Id paid him and had no IPOD.

Then one day, the stupid idiot ebay seller contacted me saying his bank account had been frozen (I had his bank details and reported him), so I gave him an ultimatum, either give me the money back or I take things further with the police (which I couldnt because there was no way of proving anything - the police told me to say this by the way). A little white lie in return got me my money back.

The problem now is I cant report this idiot to ebay cos my account has been suspended. His ebay name is singh_89

I recently found out he is doing the same dirty tricks again, go to this link and see the scammer in action...

He also tried to sell me mobile phones (which were probably stolen anyway)



All Im asking is for someone with a valid account to report him to ebay, Ive tried phoning them (and so has the police) but cant get through. Or if not at least contact the people who are bidding on his items, I dont want them being scammed like I did. If possible could you give them my email address [email protected] so I can tell them what happened to me.

Much appreciated, this is the last thing I could think of doing!

Yea what a prat, selling goods on ebay and not giving you them, but taking the money instead!
Anyway Hey morbo.

more like millions of items every day

Because there arn't hundreds of thousands of things to monitor.

Did you know that ebay dont even monitor their users and what they are selling. They just wait for someone to be "reported" instead. I emailed them about this and said they should be doing their job properly.

It should be him who is banned, not me!!!!

my mate had this happen and what did they try and sell? firearms... yes hand guns machineguns the works, they gave him his account back after a month where they did an investigation. i even read the e-mail they sent him, it was a real serious problem.

Hehe, all his items have been taken off :D

Didnt someone do something like this before and post it up? im getting Deja Vu.

yeah not selling to zero feedbacks is a bit harsh, suppose its only to avoid the timewasters, but its not as if they can lose anything but deadline slippages.

I can understand people who won't buy from 0 feedback users, but people who don't sell to them suck.
It's unfair as so often I wouldn't bid on items because I was 0 feedback because I'd never even bid before.

I've got a feedback of 4 now. 100% w00t.
However, my email address is focked and I can no longer use eBay, because, to change it, I need a credit card, and I don't have one, and I'd certainly never put it on the net.
