I have just been monitoring a sale on eBay where one poor seller was selling his S700i and had £82 going for it.

Then in the last minute two people jumped in and bid on it for outrageous prices like £217, ruining the poor guys sale. What b*stards?

Thats the second time this week I've seen it happen. Does it happen a lot now?

Evil buggers.

These aren't snipers, cause they have no intention to pay for the phone.

They are simply winning the phone at stupid prices forcing you to pay high final value fees and to waste your time.

It is happening all the time!

Yeah i know you can get much better prices on ebay but you take a risk when listing high value items like phones.

If you selling little things your less likely to get stung, i only use ebay for buying now.

I have never really had a problem. I only accept Paypal and the people who try to ruin these auctions/ bin dont register with paypal as its to much of a painto join. Ebay blocks all people who try to bid on my auctions who dont have a paypal account.
