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:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1606226777

Funny thing is, while again listed in AU$, the seller's location is now
listed as Germany - not Austria as listed in the auction shown above.  Same
User Name, different countries?  Sounds very odd to me.

John
