I think that they bid it up to my maximum, no way I was going to pay over 1M for it... awaiting to be contacted by the seller

The scammer is still a member now !!!!!!!!!! this is the Item number: 150135737127 & this is there ID

Ebay still have not banned/kicked this scamer of ebay....... I have sent a copie of the spoof email they sent me to spoof@ebay.co.uk and email them twice since then to ask them why the scamer is still a ebay member...............ebay are f-----g useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could not agree more, I have tried to communicate with eBay about the above scam with no sucess, "MyeBay" still wants me to pay the 1,000,000 but the seller has not contacted me - I did ask if he had a swiss bank account to send the 1M to

but I think he knew I was taking the piss by then.
