Question About Strange Ebay Bidder
 
I have a lot closing on ebay tomorrow night that has as the current high bidder someone with 0 feedback and the username scam928! Do I have reason to be concerned? We had that troll the other day on the board, and I made a comment on that thread. And what could be worse than a bidder who has "scam" as his bidding name? What would others do? It's only a $100+ lot, not the end of the world.

No need to be too concerned as you still hold the cards (pun intended)
If he wins the lot and doesn't pay, you still have the lot and can get your
fees back from eBay and this will help in getting him ousted (on his 3rd strike)

I wud request contact information and call them. If phone number is bad, kill the bid.

How do I kill a bid? I am thinking of emailing him because of the zero feedback.

Thanks guys. I will email him first.

Everything is cool. It's a woman bidding on a baseball card for her boyfriend for Christmas. Thanks again for everyone's help.

OK, and I'm a really hot looking 25 YO nymphomaniac, because you can't see me, and not the fat old guy that people who know me know that I am.

I'm just saying.

Her boyfriend is in fact a regular poster on this board, he emailed me, and everything is good. The "scam" name is what threw me but it was just a coincidence.

Glad to hear it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get to a blind date with Tiger. Boy will he be surprised!

Username
 
Barry,
I had someone win an auction a few days ago with the username of DamianChaos and a feedback of 19. I was a little worried since Damian is the name of a bad virus that shows up in a lot of Outlook emails. Fortunately, he paid right away and he seems to be OK.

Zero feedback is a concern too. I know everyone has to start somewhere but you always prefer to see someone with an established bidding record.

HAHAHAHAHAHA That is too funny!!! Hey, I'm "iwontpay28" and I want to buy your stuff. LOL

what a stupid EBAY NAME
 
why choose that name? makes no sense

would be interesting to see if this deal is completed......

barrysloate 12-11-2009 06:50 AM

Scott- if you are referring to scam928 the lot closed last night with a different winner. As far as this other character who posted, I have no idea what it is about.
