If you look at him, here is an eBay seller that only has a 42 rating, but yet has over ONE THOUSAND items listed on eBay!! Hum.... sounds abit fishy if you ask me.
I would think being a new eBay seller, you might want to start off small first but listing over a thousand items just seems quite abit much for a 'new' seller.

Yeah, I mentioned this about Tamainc/Fatboy5434 some time ago in another message. It's not a theory, its a fact! Its common for Chinese sellers of MP4 players (other stuff too) to both open up multiple accounts at the same time, and open up new accounts when their old records are too "dirty". I bid on Tamainc's mp4 when "she" had 0 feedback. Then I noticed this seller had like over 750 items for sale! One of "her" buyers thought the seller was new and "deserved a chance". Ha!
The thing that should give people pause, besides the 750 items, is the ad itself. Someone new to eBay usually doesn't do a slick ad on the first go, like they know how it all works and everything. Tamainc/Fatboy both had 0 feedback not too long ago, and both (same person obviously) "solicited" feedback from buyers who had yet to receive their items. I dont know if thats against eBay rules but it ought to be, because it helps scammers. Anyway, this seller was not new to eBay! Their MO (opening up accounts under different names, selling under US/UK/AU currencies) is 100% slick Hong Kong eBay MP4 seller/scammer MO. (Not to say all HK sellers selling the same items in several currencies are all scammers but...).
