I am thinking of selling my spv m2000 on Ebay, as i need some £££ and dont use it all that often.
So i watched one for sale to see how much it went for and was  to say the least. Then when i looked closely i saw the winning bidder has 0 feedback and registered that day. Now how could they have bid so much? surely proxy bidding goes up in stages? ALso theres 2 of them!!? doesnt make sense. Im guessin theyll never pay but why would someone do this?
See link:
M2000 #1
Then i thought ill watch another....
M2000 #2
WTF is going on???

Create a fake account to increase the bid on behalf of the seller - the seller then offers it to the next highest (genuine) bidder as a "second chance" option.

yup nigerians, happened 3 times odd when i sold my xda, seriously if your selling a pda phone, make the auction so only pre-approved bidders can enter a bid.
as if you dont nigerians will try to scam you every time and you end up with shit loads of lising fee's which ebay do not refund cos there dicks.
