    Uh Oh, registered in the UK. You will now probably be told that they will be sending a $10k cashier's check, and for you to wire the balance of $7k.

    Did you notice (0) Feedback and from the UK?

    I wouldn't be happy until money is in hand.

    I saw that,

    I was searchin the bay and saw the listing, clicked it and saw "item has ended" checked and saw the bidder had a zero rating and thought to my self. "hope he is just a newby and pays for it!"

    I did a little research for you and my conclusion it is def. a scam. I searched through all of the items he has bid on and / or won, and today alone he won more than $10k worth of stuff. Each item was with a different seller. I hope everything works out but I would use very very extreme caution. I would wait 10 business days for a check to clear.

    If he asks for your bank account number to wire money, don't give it to him. That is yet another scam.

    REGISTERED TODAY AND MADE OVER 200,000 DOLLARS IN PURCHASES. WHATS THIS GUY ABOUT RUINING ALL THESE AUCTIONS? DOES HE HOPE TO JUST HAVE ONE SELLER TO BITE...DISGUSTING. OF COURSE IM ASSUMING THIS ISNT LEGITIMATE. I NEVER THOUGHT OF GATS COMMENT ON GIVING CHECKING ACCOUNT NUMBER TO WIRE MONEY...TAKES ALL KINDS, MIKE

    You have stated in your listing that you will ship to the U.S. only. If he's from the UK, why not just tell him to learn how to read?
  • HootHoot Posts: 867 ✭
    Do as massscrew said and offer it to the underbidder as a second chance - PM an explanation.

    I see your "buyer" also won eight (8) different BMW automobiles today.

    My guess: you're not getting paid.

    I'd recommend waiting to re-list it.

    He could report YOU to eBay and get YOU NARU'd with proof your reselling HIS coin. So what if you have to wait a few days. You'd have to relist your coin anyway if no one else had bid.

    I doubt if he's legit but at this point in time you don't have any proof of that.

    I do believe blocking him from any of your other bids is the best course of action untill he proves himself otherwise.

    Thats the problem with BIN. You don't get a chance to retract the bidders bid.
  • robertprrobertpr Posts: 6,862 ✭✭✭
    Access his info and try giving him a ring. If the phone number or mailing address is invalid you can go ahead and relist and apply for credit with eBay, and have him NARU'd.

    Hey...the guy likes Beemers and nice rainbow Peace dollars. That's a crime now?

    I have a hunch he won't be completing the transaction. He's been NARU'd.

    Doug, if you don't ship out of the US you can avoid these foreign scams by going to My Ebay, select seller preferences, and click on the box that says "block bidders from countries I don't ship to".

    I am always puzzled as to why someone would spend all that time to bid on stuff with no intention of buying.

    Setting up an ebay account is a PIA then bidding on 44+ auctions, etc. I guess some people have time to kill?

    BTW nice Peace$
