Thought something was a bit funny, Couple days later, Or next day, Can't remember, I got an Email says priced reduced to £4.78, They didn't stick around long.

 I never bought any, Another one of them things I would have bought cos it was cheap and not cos I needed it.

Can anyone spot the pattern?

• He created account 3 Feb 2015 with random name-  6hk9490

• he changes account name on same day , 3 Feb. 2015 to -  yuanyuan--ca

he does a bait and wait scam so accrues negative feedback.......

so he waits a year until all the negative feedback is gone from 1st b+w scam.......but before he logs out for a year

• he changes his eBay name to-  zoya-j - on the day he let's the account rest 3 June 2015

• a year passes, his negative feedback is gone, he's ready to scam again

• so he logs back on and immediately changes his eBay name to topshop_hk on 12 Aug 2016

I believe the account will of been genuine at some point during its two years as topshop HK.... But topshop HK closes late last year, so he buys the account back late last year......

he does a bait and wait scam again , and thus accrues negative feedback, the scam would be this one you've fallen victim to......

• so he needs to let the account rest again until all that negative feedback disappears.......... But before he let's it rest for a year or more....

• he changes his eBay name yesterday, 23,Feb 2018......

So you see, its scam, rinse, repeat..... With a bit of genuine usage thrown in to make it seem genuine by providing a genuine seller score....

It may well have been a genuine account at some point, my best guess would be when it was termed topshop HK for two years, but when that store closed it became a scam account again......

You could indeed get your items.........but My experience on eBay tells me you won't

EBay's response over the next week will give an indicator as to what's cracking......

In some respects the paypal buyer protection is causing us all to take a lot less care when purchasing things, certainly off ebay. At the end of the day, I don't care if it's a scam or not, I'll get my money back and paypal will lose a little bit from their huge profits. If we didn't have ebay/paypal, is there any way this artist of scams would get my cash, let alone card details. No sir! Ebay isn't exactly helping allowing sellers to carry on with the account history FIMS quoted. Not the right attitude I know but I'll put way more than what I paid for the esc on a single roulette spin.........
