If you are selling British coins on eBay

...you'd rather block this zero feedback bidder.


Registered on ebay January the 5th of this year, he was the winner of this auction, and despite a variety of ways to pay clearly stated at the listing, he kept insisting to give him my bank account details to send me a bank wire (supposedly).

No paypal account, no checks, no bidpay, no cash in a registered letter, my bank account details were the only option for him.

When I told him that for this kind of amount, we'd both be better off with Western Union ,he told me that WU no longer operates in South Africa due to fraud.image

In the words of another Darksider whom I PMed on the subject for advice, I think the irony is rich.

I've just filed a NPB alert.He was the high bidder in one of Greg's auctions last week as well, a 1936 bluetoned British penny, but fortunately for Greg, he was outbid at the end.

  • Just out of curiosity, had you given him wire transfer info, could he withdraw money from your account? If he could, this could be a new scam.

  • Yes, Andy - the wire xfer info works both ways, and no, it's not a new scam - spammers have been trying this trick for years...

    Could very well be Conman. I don't suppose somebody's killed him yet, so he's still up to his old tricks.
