He has long been shot off eBay. I wasn't the only person he ripped off.
They banned him faster than you can say "He stole my money". A
cautionary note for UK eBay users (and US users for that matter):
Be EXTREMELY careful buying any items (not just computers) from low/no
reputation dealers in the Greater Manchester (UK) area. Obtain valid
contact details and a phone number that works before bidding. The UK
Police Force have seen this happen time an time again and every time
they trace it back to someone in Manchester. I just hope they catch the
sucker.
And yes, I learnt my lesson, I want to pass it on to as many of you guys
as I can. Of course many of you already know it all. Please don't ear
bash me - I know already!
