Slightly off topic, but I saw this Canon Pro-1 come up the other day. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=97007&item=7528456906 The seller looked a little odd, dealing a lot with people who are no longer registered, only putting the camera on for 24 hours in the first place, and taking really poor snaps of what should be a reasonably good camera. Rat Smelled. Barge pole unused.

Anyway a few days later the expected negative feedback comes up and obviously buyer and seller have had a little spat. Well just shortly after that the seller re-lists the item and a mysterious newbie bids for it, then some other innocent bods go for it, and then well...

Someone's going to have a big sum to pay ebay which will no doubt take a while to claim back !

Leaving -ve feedback after two days is a bit stupid.

I think the newbie bidders in the second auction may have been the original winner and his mates out for some mayhem.

He's back again ! Methinks someone is a slow learner. No "diver..." this time but I love the name of the bidder - scam buster alert !
