so how come he has 100% positive feedback then? and a score of 133? do people deliberately build up good feedback on their account, then pull some scams, and then sack it off?

on his feedback it looks like he has sold loads of phones.

It got removed.

I can't remember how the scam works now, but its common on Ebay.

If you buy/sell a phone on Ebay it seems you're putting yourself in the lions den.

It isnt a scam, just a cheap immitation, it would be diferent if he was listing it as a genuine nokia, theres nothing on there that suggests it is

surely the fact that it says 'nokia' in the link is enough to constitute a scam? or does that come from a search term that christian has used?
