Seen this quite a few times, scammers trying to tempt people into thinking they've got an over the top price for their item, and that greed will make them lose their rationality!
Luckily (so far) it's not happened to me, but probably just a matter of time!

They should have an option whereby sellers can choose not to accept bids from members below a certain feedback score.
It would help loads....
It hasn't happened to me yet though I'd be livid if it did....

I think you can set bidder requirements when you list an item, and I think you can block all bids from say, everyone with a zero rating or below a certain amount. Never tried it myself though, and the problems I've had have actually often been from people with more than 5 feedback!

My previous w800i was bought by a nigerian priest, then by another nigerian buying it for his daughter.
Really pisses me off.. there should be more ways to stop these people getting accounts.. i think you should have to register your card details to become a buyer as well as a seller.

These people = scammers/people pretending to be who they are not/people who have no intention of paying for the goods.

Just seen it happen again!
The place must be plagued with it. It's a bit cruel though isn't it. Sounds like someone is having a right old laugh snuffing out the auctions lilke that.
