Exactly, one of the lads at work sells a lot motocross bits on fleabay with 'no reserve' and he's always getting people to bid stuff up for him.

Paypal are completely fucking useless when it comes to getting money back, I've been stung with fake clothing, and ebay and Paypal just don't want to know, and the police don't want to get involved as it's too hard to prove.

I don't deny that there are some good bargains out there (I picked up a 'buy it now' T&T series two for £900 two years ago) but it just seems, of late, to be attracting arse-holes out to make a quick buck.

Another thing, it really is getting on my tits now how sellers are waiting for feedback to be given to them before they'll do the same for the buyer - why? As a buyer, I've filled my end of the obligation by paying them, so feedback should be left by them first. As it stands you dare not complain if there's a problem with the item, for fear of a neggin'!
