It'll get plenty of bids. Trust me.

Frauds are common place. For example, an item and seller are located in China, the seller only takes payment by Western Union, and the previous sales are all in German and on the German ebay. Sometimes they get pulled by ebay.

It sure looks like e-bay have been hacked on this one.

Yeah, its comical. I'm involved in beta live help thingy on ebay, I may give them a shout tomorrow about it. Though I'm a bit disillusioned with ebay tonight, some hi-fi i was after has gone past my budget... ah well, Revox is a bit 80's.

This auction has been shut down by ebay.

But why do people bid on stuff from dodgy chinese sites? Or are these people just acting as 'spoilers' to prevent others being caught?

The same seller has a 2DX going for under 400.00 - don't all rush....

It only takes one or two people to start bidding and then the others join in. I presume greed and the belief that ebay is safe.

Hmm - and just makes it harder for genuine sellers with quality stuff - I think i'm on 454 100% at the moment! Why can I never get people to have a bidding frenzy on my things!!??

I presume that the above seller is dodgy I wouldn't be able to tell.
