.... and other threads relating to scifi-models.


I ALMOST got nipped by him, as he is now also operating under the eBay seller name lovemywall_co_uk

Made him an offer on a Cardassian Phaser he is selling, then after a while the pics used struck me as familiar.

Did a search and saw the pics were ones used on scifi-models website.

Withdrew my offer and told the seller he was not using his pics / actual item for sale.

Reply was :

" lol they are my pictures, i own the website scifi-models com where the pictures come from!!
I've been doing these for 10 years + "


So now you know.

I thought the site was a recaster when one of the new members posted a link, I didn't was anything because I wasn't 100% sure.

Wonder if he can cancel his order.

Ah, the search function, the search function. New members should be tested in its usage as an initiation to the board

Very True.
I use the function even on sites I'm not a member of if they have one.

Report him to ebay. As far as I know it´s still not cool with them to have more than one account, right?

It's perfectly acceptable to have multiple Ebay accounts, I have five myself so that I can organize and sort purchases and selling... For example I don't want to mix business 1 or 2 together with my personal account for tax and accounting reasons...

Using multiple accounts

How can they make sure there's no shill bidding occurring?

Short answer: They don't care.

Long answer: They care when someone complains.
