Default ebay Name and Shame! For UK and Australia ebayers!

Ebay Name `n` Shame em!

Decided to Name and Shame some ******** on ebay, this guy sold me a wholesale list for the UK mobile phone disributors, and guess what, little gullible me got carried away, instantly i thought "Yay!" i was even close to ordering from some of these sites as i want ipods/mobile phones at trade wholesale prices, however its a good job i came across this wholesale forum otherwise i would have been ripped off like many others people on here!

Anyway this guy claims that the contacts on the list are the contacts he and his gf use to buy wholesale priced mobile phones, bu it doesnt make any sense because if they give that information away, well no one will buy from them anymore theyl get their business cut out! Anyway i decided to name and shame this ebayer, theres loads of tosspots on ebay selling these wholesalelists and i bought a few to experiment and see if any of them will really work. Theres only a few legit distributors on there, but theres a little catch because for most of them you have to be VAT registered, still most of the contacts on that list were all scammers, who do they think they are? Im sick of these kn*b heads who think its perfectly acceptable to sell scammer wholesale lists and know that peoples lives are going to be ruined when they get scammed and get in loads of debt which they cant pay off and probably wont ever be able to!

I say NAME and SHAME for this guy! Too right!

Oh and plus i sent a message to him asking him if he could help me and see if som e of those sites are legit and he never replied so i say hes guilty of something!

any UK ebayers or people who are thinking of buying off this guy or buying a wholesale list from then please avoid because the list is full of scams!:

make-serious-money-fast

and also heres another one aswell, this ebay woman sold me a `wholesale` list and its full of rip off merchants aswell! And she also had a go at me because she left me good feedback and i left her neutral, well what do you expect woman?! Damn! So avoid this ebayer, shes australian by the way, please dont buy any wholesale lists off her, specially not if your gullible like me,:

I share your sentiments with regards to these wholesale lists you've described I myself have got one or two in the past and they've been pretty good for all of 99p very much to my surprise.

It's one of these things though it's really up to eBay to sort it out. I for one am sick of these listings with links to free Xbox360s etc should get rid of this rubbish once and for all.

You know you can volunteer to be registered for VAT if you think your future turnover is going to be over the VAT threshold.

Ive noticed that theres a lot of ebay sellers who also have websites and stuff outside of ebay and quite a high number of these are scammers, so can this be put as a sticky so anyone who knows any fake/dodgy ebay seller in any country they can post the username on this thread so any ebay users can watch out, because you can get badly scammed on ebay too!

To list all the scammers on eBay would be a long thread, also it can cause more damage to sellers who have had their accounts hacked, and are now trying to get the rep back up! after taking control back of THEIR user id.

Well it would be more straightforward for everyone than people keeping on posting random ebay scammers posts, why not chuck it all into one big thread? Like ive suggested before but i guess people want the hardest way

No confused, I don't think you get it. Not everyone will have time to go through a 50+ page thread of alleged ebay scammers, as already pointed out by doubled many people have had their accounts hacked into.

They wouldn't appreciate someone coming along and destroy again what they have tried to rebuild through no fault of their own.
