I might bid on a couple of their auctions.  But you can bet I'll be paying with PayPal AND a credit card for some added protection.

We all started on eBay with 0 feedback, but we didn't all start out selling only the most desired stuff out there.

At the very least is should be interesting.

Yes, but I started as a buyer. I'll bet that most of us started as buyers. No doubt, the prson could be straight as an arrow. Grin

Oh Ed, please be careful.  If you bid, make sure there is a way to get your money back first, just in case.  I would hate to see a fellow friendly forum member get burned.

It's called living on the edge...  Wink

PayPal hates it when it happens, but the credit card company will charge them back for items not received if they refuse to do anything because ultimately PayPal was the one who performed the charge to the card.  Been through this once or twice...

The fact that you know your way around the ins and outs of Paypal and the credit card company is reassuring, but none of us want to see you out of pocket - call it the 'Mum instinct' if you will! Shocked Roll Eyes Tongue

Good Luck with it Ed and please let us know how it goes won't you? Wink

The Prop was allready sold over ebay in June by ztaylork  Grin

Auction # 6184845352

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6184845352

Definately wrong picture (but we know this) and even if he or she have bought this card why does he/she have now a new ebay account  Wink

Oooo, nice work, Tea and Fruit!  And why would they list it for half of what they bought it for (if they even have it).

The LOTR box is over $200, and people are bidding on his items, including the SS.  I wanted to warn the high bidder, but this person made their auctions private.  I wonder why.  Unless it truly is the person who won that card from Zach.

Does anyone know what other the other three cards #/265 were? My 242/265  Sorcerer's Stone was stolen. I'm keeping my eye out for it.

I don't think this person has any of the items they listed, but if you want, the auctions ended, so email them and ask if they have any more and what numbers they are.

Ed, did you ever bid on any of them?  I will be curious to watch and see the feedback come in.

I bid on a couple of them, but put in conservative bids and was not successful on any of them.

I too will be interested to see if any of these auctions really get completed.

The seller didn't get bids on some items, but look at the ones that sold (those prices are in bold)! Shocked

They allowed PayPal payments, but since they have 0 feedback, are the buyers even protected?

I don't see why buyers shouldn't protected ... I don't think it matters what the sellers feedback rating is does it - we all started at zero after all!
What I would like to know is whether they offered Standard protection - which covers you upto £120, or the better option of Paypal protection which covers you upto £500?
I've just looked on a couple of their auctions and didn't notice anything like that, though I did see the option to pay for items totalling $50+ on installment, which is interesting .... only for US-based buyers though, international buyers are on their own! Undecided
The fact that they are no longer a registered user rings clanging alaram bells for me and I'll be very surprised if anyone receives the items they've paid such a a lot for. Angry

No paypal protection without the symbol. You can read it here (i hope this is the right side)

https://www.paypal.com/us/eBay/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_pbp-info-outside

"The PayPal Buyer Protection icon must be displayed in the Seller Information box on eBay"

I guess you must have a 50+ feedback and over 98% of good feedbacks
