WOW! Did you notice the number of high dollar items he was high bidder on? I thought Ebay had put a limit on how many auctions a newbie could bid on.

I guess "classics" missing something here.The guy enrolled March 30-todays April 2-
hes been on 4 days? Most auctions dont end for 7 seven days.I assume he bought a BIN from you and didnt respond? I thought you had at least 10 days to pay. I dont know how many other
bids he had,but is there a limit on what you can bid on?

..i dont think you missing anything. maybe i complicated the post..
the first url i posted above is a mistake, the second one is for the bidder's bid list...it is 3 pages long, probably totals $50+K in winning auctions - in a couple of days.
he bid my auction with few seconds left. i saw was he was u.k. bidder, i linked the list, realized what "was going on," and
notified ebay of the bidder.
so, when i posted here, ebay had been notified, and subsequently naru'd the bidder sometime after march 31, i think.
annnnd, this morning i applied for fvf...ebay allows immediate refund for "no longer a registered user."
and he did respond: the email i referenced is on a post by me on april 1...
sorry if i connnnnfusd ya!

mot...I had this happen to me one time. New user with the id of vitagnc won a fairly high price item from me. Didn't get a response to my EOA, so I checked his bidding history. He had bid on over 500 items and had won over 350 of them, all in the office and industrial category. All this took place on one weekend. Ebay NARU'd him a few days later, but he sure screwed up a lot of auctions. At least he didn't add insult to injury by sending a Nigerian "refund the overpayment" scam letter.
