read the bottom comment bout a scammer

how would a scammer benefit as a buyer?

muddyweb:
I suspect he just means a non-paying bidder.  I can't see any way you could scam as a buyer.

strapping young lad:
kind of but thing is is that with me, till i see the greens so to speak i dont send.

which is common sense to me

ive got an issue with an unpaid item atm... :(

Jake:
I got hit by one of these scammers.
He went through all the finishing items and bidded them up to silly heights. He 'bought' my 6 & 7 seats from my disco for £800. I thought xmas had come early till i read what else he'd bought in the last ten minutes. Approx £95k worth of stuff. Motorcycles, cars, dvd's, clothes, childrens cots. W*****R!
I second chanced the seats to the next highest bidder which was £550 but they turned around and claimed that if there bids wer'nt real neither was theres!.
Sold them eventually for £300.
Dam it. I had plans for that cash. Winch, bumper, rock sliders so on... :roll:

ChrisW:
Either that or it was one of those 'I'll buy your item for £50, send you a cheque for £100, you send me the item and £50'
Oh dear the cheque bounces a couple of weeks later but you've already sent them the balance and the item  :evil:
