Reply to "Is this a scam or just a time waster ?"

Hi member_8880, I have had actual sales to China/Hong Kong before and the address still appears in English letters. His name and China are in English characters, the rest in '?'s

Unpronouncible eBay ID's are quite normal, addresses no.

I received 30 spam mails from Chinese businesses last night all disguised as eBay ask the seller mails. This proves that this person is a BIN bandit and making contact is pointless and probably worse than replying to a spammer and proving your e-mail ia an active one.

See the related posts on this subject and the one including the reply I got from pointless/toothless/don't give a damn eBay customer support.

As far as I can see the only thing to do is stop selling to Asia (my sales are rare there anyway) update all live BIN listings accordingly and ignore this 'buyer'. A one off fee loss is small compared to what could happen.


Hi art202, sorry to be a bit tetchy over this, but how can I report to PayPal as they have not and I expect will not pay, if I pressure, I may well as attack an ant colony with a toothpick naked !
