It pisses me off, too. In this instance, I think putting in a bid of a
few thousand quid would be amusing, as he'd have to pay Ebay's final
value fees on it.

 

Doesn't eBay refund the final value fee in the case of a NPB?

 

Yes, but this wouldn't be an NPB, would it?

 

Hmmm. The guy's rather dodgy to start with, you offer him more money than
what he's already decided to sell it to matey for, what's to stop him from
biting your hand off, telling matey to FRO and taking your offer? I don't
see the point of making a bid unless you're *really* sure he can't deliver.

 

You dont have a throwaway ebay account just for this sort of thing
then?

You need a nice friendly email address in Nigeria for this

 

It's been years since I got my fleabay account, but don't you have to
supply a CC # that they can charge against? I suppose you can steal
one of those, too.
