Does this sound familiar?

Hi all,

While surfing ebay this morning, I came across the following listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1605206973

Seller location: Austria
Auction Currency: Aussie $

Does this sound familiar?  About 3 months ago, there was a German seller
selling off some yummy train items - look at
http://news.lugnet.com/loc/au/?n=4875

I was unlucky enough to be the winning bidder with some of those items, I
sent off the payment and didn't recieve the lego :( I know that the payment
was recieved, because I paid the extra $2 for the delivery confirmation
card.  Another bidder contacted me with the same problem - non delivery
after payment.

The shipping cost is listed at $20. This is the same as the prior auctions

Seller feedback 0.  Same as prior auctions.

Only payment type accepted: Cash.  Same as prior auctions.

Something a bit sus?

Have a good ponder,

John (who is not touching this auction with a 40 foot barge pole)

(...) While I know replying to one's own message is not good ettiquette, I think this is a good exception. More surfing on ebay has raised this interesting point. The same seller has placed some more auctions up. For example: (URL) thing is, while (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) Adding my experience to this, I got burned on a similar Technic auction - AUS$ location Germany. There was some + feedback but not a large number. I think there were a dozen or so auctions going. The Seller said that he needed a credit card to (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
