Watch out for the sellers from china. Most of them have little feedback that was left on the same day, by buyers with littlefeedbackfeedback. They are selling stuff at 2 good 2 be true prices. Take this guy for example most of the buyers no longer have accounts. There are a crapload of these sellers.

Did you check out the Auctions.....????????????

I always make it a point to

A. Check out past Auctions for like Merchendise. If I'm bidding on a reel he has hopefully sold a few recently.....and not CD's

And

B. I will ocassionally send a message to one of the people who left him feedback to see what they thought about the seller.

I only do this on the higher priced stuff.....not a $5 lure

These are pretty blatent cases, where it sticks out like a sore thumb. Newbies may fall for it, as well as eager buyers. It appears as though the seller or sellers are creating the outher acounts for themselves to buy ficticious merchandise, then leave themselves positve feedback.

i've seen people do this stupid stuff before, its where someone creates a seller name then creates other names and stuff, then lists auctions and uses the names created to buy the fake auctions... i've seen it done.. and unfortunatly there are some good people out there that make it look legit so ebay wont catch it as easy, but seriously when you see auctions like this on there you gotta know its a fake and should report it ASAP.
