. . . . okay, here's some weird stuff. . . . first of all, my email to the bidder came back as invalid address. . . .
. . . . now, I look up the feedback profile of the bidder, Rilamisa. . . . joined ebay 8/04, and only bought one item. . . . I look at the feedback of that one item, and that seller, sold 4 of the same item in 10 minutes to 4 buyers - lugolexic, zelafore, rilamisa and kixeleba. . . . all 4 of them joined ebay within a couple of days, and they oddly all have similar type handles. . . . 3 of the 4 have bought only this one item. . . the fourth has 2 purchases. . . the other purchase was from a buyer named zasikoxog (again, strange handle). . . who signed up 8/04, and has, surprise, only 1 other feedback. . . . check out that one, and here's something weird. . . . . follow the chain a little bit more, and I get semaj_asmir8anm, whose most 4 recent feedbacks were from December 12 & 15 (3 weeks ago). . . all 4 of those users (diff. names) are NO LONGER ebay users. . . . now, what are the odds that one seller sells to 4 different users, who all have their accounts terminated within the next three weeks? I don't know what the hell that means, but going back to the bidder on the CAO's- it's obvious some sort of bogus account, set up to drive up legitimate bid prices. . . . .
. . . this is why I no longer trust ebay. . . .
