99% faker ebayer

https://www.ebay.com/sch/privatejewe...1&_ipg=&_from=

usually before ending the bids auction he cancel the bidding and ask everyone who bids for offer outside ebay to finish the offer then he will send it because he said ebay takes comission and he will give it for less money. something fishy there, his record is fine to attract people. he message me with his phone number to contact him. i did not feel comfortable with him.

Let Ebay know what this guy is doing. They will ban him quicker than you can say SCAM.
Never buy anything outside Ebay as you lose their very strong buyer protection program.

Edit: I don't see any evidence of these accusations. Something fishy here, just like your other thread

Pay me $1000 now and I'll end the auction early. Looking for quick sale. Deal?

My one concern is that the 'Privatejewelry19' on the first photos on each listing look photoshopped. I would tread cautiously and as mentioned only deal through Ebay with credit card.

haha - I share the same concerns, I have feeling this guy buys 99cent items w free shipping to build up a rating and then will abuse that to make a scam 'score' by falsely advertising some high end watches and duping someone in to buying from him.

This guy has 0 feedback as a seller. 100% of his feedback is as a buyer. That, alone, would prevent me from bidding on any kind of high dollar item from him.

eBay will ban you pretty quick nowadays for trying to curb their fee system. Simply report the message of him doing so. ESPECIALLY when that’s also accompanied by him gaming the bidding system to solicit buyers then cancelling the listing.

Yeah I'm guessing this scam has been planned for a while. Change name once hacked to something more appropriate for the high value watches and wait until the member name change icon disappears.

Interestingly it was the scammer who removed the listings. Wasn't Ebay. Gotta feeling this person will try to make deals outside the Ebay system.
