ok i'll try and help could be the money you pay is basically paying for information about police auctions (that are legal) all the stolen items recovered and not claimed are sold off, however not many people know about them and this very much looks like you're paying to find out where the auction is for this item also making their feedback private is to me a little dodgy 127 good feedbacks is great but it says nothing about when they sold the goods and what they sold id stay clear of it to be honest and if you want to look into police auctions google them  |

A 50" plasma for £49? And you're wondering if it's too good to be true?
From the auction page:
"Sales Note : we agree that by committing to purchase we are agreeing that we will receive information on garda sales only from this company."

thx pokergirl
was thinking similar
if that was the case,i may be able to recover the money from paypal,,surely a trades description mis-use?
but I'm still undecided...I'd like to hope that it is genuine...it's like a 60 quid flutter on a 10 to 1 shot...i like my odds

Unfortunately it's not illegal - all the info is there - you just have to look for it.

Ebay is an auction site..it is up to you to read every listing carefully before you make a bid on it. if you don't read a listing properly you can't really blame e-bay. p.s. gauk (govenment auctions UK) is a similar scheme operating in the UK..giving people info on police auctions and all that and I know people that think the money they paid to sign upto it is money very well spent . |

It's like when people advertise a box for an Xbox or a Wii or whatever. People pay hundreds of pounds for an empty box.

It's also very easy to get positive feedback quickly on items that don't really exist. Saw one the other day where one person had 400 auctions all for 1p buy now, the item was advice he would give you on how to buy on ebay! lol.
One person bought all of them from him, so for 4 pounds, in 1 day he had 400+ positive feedback.
