| So are we now prevented from seeing a bidder's actual buying/selling history? (sorry, not had the time to check the eBay site).
If so, that's not good. Many a time I've noticed some tentative connection between a seller and his/her potential 'buyer', by studying what each of them has bought/sold previously.
On one occasion I was bidding on a VW Lupo, until I noticed a rival 'bidder' had sold a couple of cars on eBay in the previous months. Checking out the two vehicles he'd sold, I noticed that the photos he'd posted had been taken in the very same location as the VW Lupo he was now 'bidding' on.
So, if I'm unable to do some minor detective work and prove to my own satisfaction that the auction is truly above board, I'll simply not be buying from eBay.
It seems to me that this latest move will only help the scammers. |
