It was Smee!
« on: December 10, 2010, 10:38:53 PM »
I had just posted on the PS board confirming my suspicions of a fraudulent listing. Then Mr Smee posted a question.

I was just about to point out the seller's 'location' and *poof* the thread was gone!

Item location: Brisbane, New South Wales, Australia

Just thought I'd copy the items here to see how long they last:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150531046908
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150531045107

They look like copies of a legitimate listing complete with a link at the bottom to the real seller's sellathon page


This is the legitimate listing that has been copied:

It's a pity eBay doesn't remove the listings as quickly as they do the threads questioning the listings!

Hell yeah! That's been going on TOO long in my experience, and, that sort of BOGUS action was on top of the Member's Gripe Agendas when I was on the Forums...where threads, posts and Posters got pulled frequently without fair warning or just cause.

[it was murder]
(they killed me, remember?)

THAT (and other crappy goings-on) TOTALLY PISSED ME OFF!!!!
Now, I don't play so I can't get upset.

But God help you poor suckers Souls.
