Bookmark topic
I was bidding for one p900 on ebay and after a few hours i received a lot of emails from weird people saying that they have the same phone for 200-250 pounds,and payment by Western Union! I know these are scams and spam,any way i can stop that? I think i'll never bid on anything on ebay, almost 20 msg until now....

Can't you take your email address off so people don't know it?

I've had the same things when bidding on laptops. The only thing you can do it report the usernames to ebay since they violate their policy.
They do it by simply clicking on the list of bidders for an item and then clicking on each name where they then get the "contact and ebay member" form where they can send the email.

@corny lol, that is a good idea,pm me his email
! There are a lot of honest people in Romania u know,i'm a bussiness man...and i hate scammers. Removing email from ebay account is bad because all the" for seller" questions are by mail...Anyway i'll report to ebay,but i think that can't be stopped.
I want to buy a 128 msduo from ebay from some companies,any suggestions? I saw prices like 40 pounds incl. shipping worldwide from USAor 36 without shipping, genuine sellers i say. Anyone bought from them?

Yeah if I were you I'd just report it to eBay. Just go to the help section and find the link to report spam. They need an eBay account to be able to e-mail you, so when you report them their account get shut down. 15 seconds of your time.
I actually bought my p900 from an eBay seller. Rather than trusting the system though, I just looked for one that looked like an actual store (to trust that they have it in stock) and then I called them and did the deal in person. I don't like bidding that much money on eBay. Too many shady characters....
Also, if you find a good US seller for the 128mB card let me know! I've been looking for one and there are so many that are around the same price that I'm not even sure which one to buy.

@jujubee & petrutms
I ordered a 128mb sony msd from blueproton, cost me £45.45, but that was including insurance. Got it within 10 days, so I'd recommend them. I know you can get sandisk&lexar ones from them too, and they seem fairly cheap. Their feedback is,like 98% or something, and the negative ones are from whingers, all big companies get those. I'd try them out!
