This guy must be wondering WTF is going on.
hehe
He will be a power seller in no time :-)
Either that, or he'll fail to send and paypal will ass rape him into oblivion with all the chargeback enquiries!!!

Just noticed, he's been on ebay since 2001...
His photo's are watermarked with the username of another eBay user, who has several thousand feedback and is (IIRC) based in Australia, although his items are shipped from HK, and the description is identical as well. Maybe the wholesaler/dropshipper in HK is getting in on the selling act...

Likewise!

He's sold loads of stuff though, but has hardly any feedback - if you go through his current listings, there are loads of sales but still only 7 feedback. He also doesn't seem to be very good at leaving feedback for others too. The ones that he has received feedback for, he hasn't left in reply...

well it's 8:05am on Monday in HK now, so if he has had a weekend away from the PC, he could be scratching his head as to why he's suddenly had a run on cheap watches to the UK! The listing said posted within 2 days of payment, so hopefully we'll all get confirmation sometime today that the watches have been posted and are en-route.

I bought mine from Holicbox, some of his watches are watermarked ivshc, and ivshc has tens of thousands of feedback. I've just had a quick look at the email I got regarding winning the item and the receipt for paypal payment, and it has the return path of ivshc@hotmail.com so it would appear that they are one and the same person.

I paid for mine on Friday 5th, but it was 8pm UK time so it would have been 4am on Saturday 6th for him, foregoing the weekend I reckon I should be getting an email about dispatch etc sometime through the evening, or sometime tomorrow.

I'll give him 7 days though, I don't see any big prob as it seems that I've paid ivshc, and he seems to be a completely kosher ebayer, but we'll wait and see.

Just picked up on this thread and I see he is selling the orange Monster far cheaper than anyone else seems to be - and with box and papers too. Seems very cheap at £115.

I spent waaay more than £38 watching the 6 Nations so thought it would be worth a punt esp as its on PayPal. ( Knowing the nightmare genuine sellers are having on here!)

Still not had an email from him. Those of you who have had emails, did you buy from holicbox or ishvc on ebay itself?

I'm sure they are the same person though

I just bought mine from one of the UK sellers for £69.99 as I wasn't sure about the taxes etc.

It arrived a few days ago (next day special delivery) ... biggrin
... but its been hidden before I could get my hands on it for my birthday later this month grumpy
