    At a guess ebay won't can him until he's had the full opportunity to make the refunds ? I do see your point though , he isnt going to make a refund , another good question would be who keeps buying after he's been negged a week previously for the same type of item.

    Purchases were all made before the first neg, if I read it correctly.
    Though, at those prices is always risky to pull the trigger on a BIN. Sometimes you may be lucky though but you have to study the seller. JMHO

    Yep , looks like he got them all in one swoop , one neg prior for a video game scam. He's brought shame to Punxsutawney Phil's Hometown..argh

    More to come. He sold some other eagle, unless the buyer were just those few who negged him already.

    I am wondering what happened. He sold for 5 years and even recently he delivered silver bars and coins.

    Probably the old pre-seller ponzi scheme caught up with him. Make the sale and then get the merchandise. Probably spent the funds elsewhere and couldn't honor the sales.

    My first thought was he needed some money fast, all the auctions were for 24 hours only and he demanded quick payment... tells me he needed a few thousand dollars for something and listed some coins to get the money. He probably figured he had a week or two to make it up somehow.

    Part of the risk you take when buying on the bay.
