33% positive FB and still trading?

another thing-none of the items that they sell seem to include chargers/power cords. Possibly stolen?

Kia ora TM user, if something about the listing isn't looking right, let the team know via Community watch. Sometimes electrical goods have foreign plugs, so where a power cord is removable, sellers may choose to sell the item without the power cord as the sale of electrical goods with foreign plugs is illegal and on our banned and restricted list. 

Dear Michelle, electrical plugs is the least of my concerns with this trader. what is the amount of negative FB that you would allow before removing the trader? 67% negative seems pretty high to me, especially considering that their only positive FB might have come from the account potentially also started by the seller. i did report them.

The seller is pick-up only and has Ping activated. So buyers are fairly well covered there. I don't think it's likely the seller doesn't have the items they are selling if that's your concern. Their Apple items are pretty unlikely to be stolen, because they are unlocked. When Apple items get lost or stolen the first thing that happens is the owner locks them.

The reason you see so many low feedback bidders at this stage is probably because more seasoned buyers will either bid at the last minute, or are avoiding them completely due to their feedback.

It's good you're still keeping a close eye on the keyboards listed though :)  Looks like that particular friend has given up.

Yes, you are right, Callum, the items aren’t stolen… maybe I am just overly suspicious. Still-the seller bid on expensive items TWICE and didn’t pick up. Now they know what valuables are and the pickup address. 33% positive is too low to trade, but fees are paid, so they continue…

Kia Ora TM user,

Stick with it - the only Sold item was to a New Member - 2 other Listings have bids by 2 other New Members, 1 of which is a significant Bid above the last genuine Bidder - 3 different New Members attracted to 3 Listings suspect false accounts to up the Bidding Sale price! - Have Community Watched - Cheers.

Guess whose in Pending yet again!
